Local Notes
Plumbing In Redstone
Redstone is new construction. It was not yet populated in the 2012 census, and it sits between Métis Trail NE, Stoney Trail, 60 Street NE and 128 Avenue NE, across from Skyview Ranch. New houses mean PEX supply, plastic drains, builder-grade fixtures and basements fitted with sump pits and backwater valves. None of that is trouble-free. Builder-grade faucets, toilet fill valves and braided supply lines are often the first things to fail, and a running toilet or dripping cartridge is usually a daytime repair, not an emergency. The basement equipment is where new owners get caught.
Many people move in without ever opening the sump pit or knowing where the backwater valve cleanout is. Find both, pour water into the pit to watch the pump start, and check that the discharge ends at least two metres from the foundation and not on a neighbour's property. A full-port backwater valve needs servicing every year, starting now. If you are developing the basement, keep access to both, and remember that adding a bathroom or moving plumbing needs a City permit. Calgary's water is hard, so drain a little water from the hot water tank each year to keep sediment down.

Water Where It Shouldn't Be? Do This First
01
Close The Main Valve
In most Calgary homes it is in the basement, at the water meter. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
02
Power Off Near Water
If water is near outlets, a furnace or the electrical panel, switch off that circuit only if you can reach it dry.
03
Take Photos
Ceiling, floor, the failed part and the water line on the wall. Your insurer will ask for them.

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.
