Plumber in Petitcodiac

Petitcodiac at a glance

Petitcodiac is a community in Westmorland County that held village status until 2023 and is now part of the village of Three Rivers. The Petitcodiac River begins here, where the North River and the Anagance River meet.

What that means for your plumbing

Where two rivers meet, the ground can stay wet and groundwater can run high in spring. Homes with basements may need a working sump pump, and buried lines sit in damp soil for long stretches. Test the pump before the thaw; see sump pumps.

A crossroads of routes

The community centres around Routes 890, 885, 905, 106 and 1. Being on main routes makes it easy for plumbers from the Moncton area to reach, though travel time still matters, so send clear details and photos with your request.

Bends like a bow

The name is believed to come from either a Mi'kmaq word meaning "bends like a bow" or a Wolastoqey word meaning "sound of thunder"; old maps spelled it Petcoucoyee in 1686 and Pacoudiac in 1749. Today the community has a regional school, an outdoor swimming pool, an arena, a bowling alley and family-owned shops and churches serving the surrounding area. Public buildings like an arena and pool depend on plumbing that copes with heavy use and cold winters. So do the homes around them. If yours is on a well, keep the pressure tank area warm, and check the water heater's age before the busy winter months.
