Communities we cover

Westport, Newboro, Portland, Elgin, Chaffey's Lock, Jones Falls, Morton and Delta, and the cottages and homes on the lakes in between.

Cottages on the Rideau

Seasonal places need their plumbing shut down properly in the fall and brought back in the spring, or a cold snap splits the lines while nobody's there. We close and open cottages, including the line from the lake and the pump, and we find and fix what the winter broke.

Rural plumbing is different

  • Private wells and lake water. Low pressure, a pump that short-cycles or a pressure tank that's lost its charge. We service well lines, lake lines, pressure tanks, pressure switches and pumps.
  • Water quality. Lake water and well water each need the right treatment before you drink it. See water filtration.
  • Frozen lines. See our frozen pipes guide.
  • Septic. We install septic systems and handle the plumbing inside the house and the drain to the tank. Need the tank pumped? We'll arrange it for you.

Making the trip count

If you have more than one thing to fix, list them all when you book, and send photos, so we bring the right parts and do it in one visit. Give us your blue civic (911) number and a landmark: lake roads can be hard to find in the dark.

Common questions

Do you come out to Westport and Portland?

Yes, for emergencies and booked work. It's a longer drive than the rest of our area, so call (613) 449-1758 and we'll give you an honest arrival time first.

Can you close or open my cottage on the Rideau?

Yes. We drain the lines and protect the fixtures in the fall, and bring everything back in the spring, including the pump and the line from the lake.

Is lake water safe to drink?

Not untreated. Lake water needs filtration and disinfection, usually a UV system, before it is safe to drink. See our water filtration page for the options.
