Plumber Anjou.
Sixties bungalows, finished basements, backwater valves that earn their keep.
Anjou is bungalow country — 60s-era, finished basements, families who use them like a second living room. Which means a water heater that cannot afford to die mid-movie-night, a basement floor drain you would rather never see in action, and original copper that is starting to show its age. Plomberie PSF works Anjou steadily. CMMTQ-licensed, RBQ-certified, 10+ years of basement work in this exact style of home. Backwater valves, water heater swaps, drain unclogs, all clean.
Water heater past its prime
Most 60s bungalow heaters have been replaced 2-3 times by now, and the next swap is overdue. We check the anode, the connections, the safety valve — if it is time, we swap same-day with a code-compliant install.
Backwater valve missing or seized
Finished basement + no backwater valve = expensive lesson. We install or service the valve, test the float, and make sure the next sewer surcharge stays out of your rec room.
Basement drain clogs from laundry and bath
Lint, hair, soap scum — basement drains in family homes take a beating. We clear the line, check the trap, and let you know if the original cast iron is due for a section replacement.
Do I need a backwater valve in my Anjou basement?
If you have a finished basement and no valve, yes — and your insurance might already require one. Plomberie PSF installs to current code, tests it on install, and gives you the paperwork for your insurer. One day of work, decades of peace.
My water heater is making popping sounds — bad sign?
Usually sediment cooking on the bottom of the tank. Sometimes flushable, often a sign the tank is near end-of-life. Call (514) 665-6560 and we will look — if it is a swap, we usually have the right size on the truck.
Why does my finished basement smell faintly of sewage?
Dry trap on the floor drain, failed wax ring on a basement toilet, or a small leak somewhere in the stack. We sniff out the source, fix it cleanly, and the smell is gone the same visit. CMMTQ-licensed, no shortcuts.
Are 60s bungalow pipes worth keeping?
Often, yes — original copper from that era can still be solid if it has not been abused. We test, inspect, and tell you straight whether it is good for another decade or due for a partial swap. No upsell, real answer.
