Local Notes
Plumbing In Falconridge
Falconridge was established in 1979 on land annexed from the MD of Rocky View back in 1961, and most of its homes date from the late 1970s and 1980s. That is squarely the era when Poly-B was installed in homes across Canada, roughly 1978 to 1997, so grey plastic supply pipe is possible in many houses here. Not every home has it, and some owners have already repiped. Poly-B tends to fail at the fittings and sometimes along the runs, often without warning, so the first sign can be water on the basement floor.
If you see grey plastic near the hot water tank or main shut-off, have a plumber check the fittings, and know that some insurers ask about Poly-B. Beyond the pipe itself, the calls we plan for in homes this age are hot water tanks scaled by hard water, washing machine hoses that burst, and main sewer lines slowed by roots and forty-plus years of buildup. Replace rubber washer hoses with braided ones, and learn where the main shut-off is before you need it. If your hot water tank is original or close to it, plan its replacement on your schedule rather than after it floods the basement.

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.
