Local Notes
Plumbing In Cranston
Cranston started in 1999, when Carma began developing former farmland between Fish Creek Park, the Bow River and Stoney Trail. The residents' association runs Century Hall, and Cranston Market serves the community. Homes here are less than three decades old, which puts them in a particular spot. The first builds were going up while Kitec was still sold, from 1995 to 2007, so orange and blue pipe with brass fittings is possible in the earlier phases. If you see it near the hot water tank, have the fittings checked before a leak finds them for you. The more common calls are about equipment installed with the house.
Original hot water tanks are at or past their expected life on hard Glenmore water. Sump pumps wear out, and the City suggests replacing them every 10 years or sooner, with a check valve on the discharge and a high-water alarm. Many basements have been developed since, and the backwater valve access is sometimes buried behind drywall or under flooring. A full-port valve needs servicing every year, so make sure the access cover can be reached. In winter, close the inside valve to each hose bib and drain it, and keep garage doors closed on the coldest nights.

Insurance And Permits
Sudden water damage from a burst pipe is usually handled differently from gradual leaks or sewer backup, and sewer backup coverage is often a separate add-on to a Canadian home policy. Check your policy wording. We give you photos, the failed part and a written report for the claim.
Where the work needs a City of Calgary permit, such as gas work on a hot water tank, a new backwater valve or replacing a water or sewer line, the permit is pulled before the job. Repairing a leak or clearing a drain does not need one.
