Local Notes
Plumbing In Ogden
Ogden was established in 1912 and named after a CPR vice-president, and it grew up around the CPR Ogden Shops, which became a munitions factory during the Second World War. The community also takes in Lynnwood, built in the 1970s, and Millican Estates, so the plumbing here covers several generations. In the oldest houses, expect cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and main shut-off valves that may not have been turned in decades. Some homes of that age had foundation drainage connected to the sanitary sewer, which the City allows only for connections made before 1973, and heavy rain can overload those lines. Lynnwood is a different era.
Homes built in the late 1970s fall at the start of the Poly-B years, so grey plastic supply pipe is possible there and worth checking near the hot water tank. Across the whole community, older sewer laterals under mature trees collect roots, and a backup through the floor drain is the usual sign. Call 311 first so the City can check the public side, then we clear and camera the private side. If construction for the planned Green Line stations is near you, know where your main shut-off is in case your water service is ever disturbed.

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.
