Groupe H2O

Our story

We are Groupe H2O, a second generation family company.

In our part of the country, we are known since 1976 for water treatment, pumps of all kinds, wells and plumbing.

We are located in the Lanaudière and Laurentian regions, more precisely in Saint-Donat and Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.

Here is the short history of our great H2O Group. This is a story of experienced plumbers, not ordinary ones!

Our story begins with Alain Ayotte

In 1976, Alain founded the Centre de pompe à l’eau, a pump sales and repair business that later became the Centre de pompe St-Donat. Throughout his career, Alain has been a forerunner in the use of various technologies, now widespread throughout Quebec.

Now retired, his advisory role is always appreciated! His extensive experience and knowledge make him a valuable asset to all members of our team.

And so it went on...
