Serving Montreal and surrounding areas, our licensed Montreal plumbers provide comprehensive plumbing maintenance services designed to extend the life of your system and ensure your plumbing runs smoothly year-round.

Our proactive inspections and custom maintenance plans help identify small issues before they become expensive emergencies. From drain flushing to repairs, we help homeowners and property managers enjoy peace of mind and long-term plumbing efficiency.

Why Drain Clogs Happen

Drain clogs are a common problem in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. Hair, grease, food waste, soap scum, and foreign objects can all accumulate in pipes over time. In older neighborhoods like Dorval or Pointe-Claire, aging infrastructure and narrower drainpipes make clogging more frequent.

According to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), improper disposal of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is a leading cause of drain backups in Canadian homes.

Common causes of drain clogs include:

  • Hair buildup: Strands of hair easily bind with soap scum and grease, especially in bathroom sinks and showers, forming dense clumps that block water flow. Over time, even small amounts can create a major obstruction.
  • Grease and food waste: Cooking oils, fats, and food scraps solidify inside drainpipes and reduce their internal diameter. According to the CMHC, improper grease disposal is one of the most common household plumbing problems in Canada.
  • Foreign objects: Flushing or washing down items like wipes, sanitary products, and even children’s small toys can result in sudden and severe blockages. These are often found stuck in bends or joints within the pipe.
  • Tree roots: In outdoor drain and sewer lines, invasive roots from nearby trees seek out moisture and penetrate small cracks. As they grow, they constrict flow and can eventually crack pipes entirely, leading to backups and soil contamination.

Why Preventive Plumbing Maintenance Is Essential

Preventive plumbing maintenance plays a crucial role in avoiding emergency plumbing situations, extending the life of your plumbing system, and protecting your property investment. By routinely checking your plumbing system for signs of wear, corrosion, clogs, or leaks, you drastically reduce the likelihood of expensive water damage and service interruptions.

Regular maintenance ensures that components such as water heaters, toilets, faucets, and pipes continue to operate at peak efficiency. In fact, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), preventative home maintenance, including plumbing, can reduce the risk of unexpected repairs by up to 30%.

Whether you’re preparing your plumbing system for seasonal changes or managing a high-use household, implementing a maintenance schedule helps reduce water waste, conserve energy, and avoid costly emergency interventions. Beaconsfield Plomberie Inc. helps clients stay ahead of issues before they become disruptive or damaging.

Seasonal Maintenance: Montreal’s Climate Demands It

  • Insulating exposed pipes
  • Shutting off and draining outdoor hose bibs
  • Checking for pipe cracks and pressure problems
  • Ensuring sump pumps are functioning during the thaw season

Don’t wait until winter hits. Schedule fall maintenance to winter-proof your plumbing system.

How Often Should You Schedule Plumbing Maintenance?

We recommend homeowners schedule plumbing maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall. High-use systems or older homes may require semi-annual checkups. Commercial clients often benefit from quarterly service.
