Duhamel, in the north of the Petite-Nation in the Papineau MRC, is a land of lakes and forests where recreation plays a large part. Bordered notably by Lac-Simon and Lac-Gagnon, this peaceful corner of the Outaouais calls for an eye used to cottages and waterfront properties.
Recreational properties
- Cottages converted into four-season homes
- Lakefront homes and properties on large wooded lots
- Buildings served by a well and a septic system
- Wood heating, very common in the sector
Common issues in Duhamel
Former cottages that have been converted often hide light foundations, incomplete insulation or additions built without permits. Being close to the water also demands vigilance on drainage and moisture. For the concerns specific to rural properties, see our article on wells, septic systems and radon in the Outaouais.
