Residential plumbing in Chénéville and La Petite-Nation

A leak under the sink, a failing water heater, a bathroom to renovate: this is the work we do every day, in year-round homes and cottages alike.

PEX lines in a new build

The short answer

Wilfrid David, based in Chénéville, has done residential plumbing across La Petite-Nation since 1989: repairs, water heaters, bathrooms and renovations. We are open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; a team member is on call 24/7 for emergencies. Call 819-428-3161.

Our most common repairs

Most requests involve similar problems: a dripping faucet, a toilet that runs constantly, a drain that empties more slowly over time. These issues may seem minor, but if they are not corrected they waste water and can damage floors.

We repair or replace faucets, valves, fittings and sections of pipe. We also service water heaters, whether a unit needs replacing or we need to find out why the hot water runs out sooner than before. When the same drain keeps backing up, a camera inspection lets us see what is happening inside the line rather than clearing it without knowing the cause.

Year-round homes and cottages: different needs

In the region, many properties rely on a well and a septic tank, which affects how we diagnose problems. Low pressure, for instance, often comes from the pump or the pressure tank rather than the pipes inside. In that case, our wells and pumps service takes over.

Cottages have their own challenges: pipes that freeze while the property is unoccupied, or a cracked fitting discovered at the spring opening. We recommend preparing the cottage in the fall, with heat cable where needed, to avoid an emergency call in mid-winter.

Bathrooms and renovations

A bathroom renovation starts with the plumbing. We relocate drains and supply lines, install the shower, tub, vanity and toilet, and complete all the connections.

To choose your fixtures, you are welcome to visit our store at 77 rue Principale. It has a bathroom and faucet showroom, as well as an inventory of parts. Seeing the products in person makes the choice easier. If the project extends beyond the bathroom, we also handle complete renovations as a general contractor.

How it works

When you call, describe what you are seeing. We can often tell you right away which valve to shut while you wait. We then come on site, identify the cause and explain the proposed solution before starting any work.

We are CMMTQ members and hold RBQ licence 1842-2873-08, which can be verified in the Régie du bâtiment du Québec registry. For flooding or a loss of water outside opening hours, see our 24/7 emergency plumbing page. For all other requests, please use our contact page.

Common questions

Your questions, answered

How long does a water heater last?

It depends on use, water quality and maintenance. A leak at the bottom of the tank or rusty hot water usually means it is nearing the end of its service life. Wilfrid David in Chénéville can inspect it and advise whether a repair is worthwhile or a replacement is needed.

What should I do while I wait for the plumber?

Shut the valve under the leaking fixture, or the main water shut-off for the house. On a well, if you can't find the valve, switching off the pump's breaker stops the water too. Mop up what you can, then call Wilfrid David at 819-428-3161; a team member is on call 24/7 for emergencies.

Does Wilfrid David work on cottages?

Yes, in homes and cottages throughout La Petite-Nation. Spring openings, fall closings, frozen pipes, well pumps: we are familiar with the specific needs of seasonal properties.

Can I buy my faucets and shower at your store?

Yes. The Wilfrid David store at 77 rue Principale in Chénéville has a bathroom and faucet showroom and an inventory of plumbing parts. It's open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Is Wilfrid David licensed with the RBQ?

Yes: RBQ licence 1842-2873-08. The company is also a member of the CMMTQ, Quebec's corporation of master pipe-mechanics. You can check the licence online in the Régie du bâtiment du Québec registry.
