Our Story

Why Transvac Exists

In 2026, two highly respected names in Ottawa-region environmental and plumbing services — Poirier Waste Pumping Services and dsq Plumbing & Environmental — came together to form Transvac.

This wasn't a merger of convenience. It was a strategic union designed to deliver greater value to our clients: the same trusted technicians you've relied on for decades, now backed by expanded capabilities, modern equipment, and unified service standards.

Whether you need septic pumping in Ottawa, CCTV pipe inspection in Greely, or emergency plumbing anywhere in between, you now have access to the full breadth of our combined expertise — all under the Transvac name.
