Plumbing and excavation in La Petite-Nation
A failed well pump, a leach field to replace, a damp basement in spring: we handle the excavation, the connections and the site restoration. One company, from the trench to the tap.
The short answer
Wilfrid David — Plomberie • Excavation is a Chénéville company founded in 1989. Julien and Mélina took it over at the end of 2025. We handle residential and commercial plumbing, wells and pumps, septic systems, French drains, excavation and general contracting jobs in ten towns across La Petite-Nation.

Two trades
Plumbing and excavation, one team
Many projects require both skills: a French drain needs a trench, then the piping; a septic system needs excavation, then the connections.
Excavation
Trenches, water lines, foundations, leach fields and grading, with our own excavator.
Our team handles both the excavation and the plumbing: each step follows the next with no middleman, and you deal with a single contact.
