Laval has its own plumbing profile. Here's what we see most often, and how we handle it.
Sump Pump Dependency
Laval is an island municipality, bordered by the Rivière des Mille-Îles to the north and the Rivière des Prairies to the south. The water table is high across much of the territory. Many homes — particularly bungalows and split-levels built between 1960 and 1980 — depend on a sump pump as their first line of defence against water infiltration. A pump that fails during spring snowmelt or a heavy storm can mean a flooded basement within hours.
We install, maintain, and replace sump pumps in every Laval neighbourhood. We also offer battery backup sump pump systems, which keep running during power outages — often the most critical time. If your pump is over 7–10 years old, an inspection before spring is strongly recommended.
Spring Flooding and Backwater Valves
The 2017 and 2019 floods affected thousands of homes in Laval, with sewer backups as the main cause of damage. When heavy rain overwhelms the municipal system, wastewater can reverse through your private connection and come up through basement floor drains, laundry tubs, or lower-level toilets.
A backwater valve is installed on the main drain line and closes automatically when backflow pressure is detected. The City of Laval has previously offered subsidy programs for these installations — we can confirm current eligibility.
Aging Infrastructure in 1960s–1980s Bungalows
A large portion of Laval's housing stock was built during the postwar suburban expansion. Homes in Chomedey, Fabreville, Sainte-Rose, and Vimont built between 1960 and 1985 often have original ABS or early PVC drain systems now 40–60 years old. These systems develop specific failures: separated joints, sagging drain sections in the slab, and main drains needing replacement.
If you're buying a home in these neighbourhoods, a camera inspection before purchase takes about an hour and can reveal problems a standard visual inspection won't catch.
