Plumber north Edmonton: the Castle Downs area

In 1971 the City of Edmonton annexed the entire Castle Downs and Lake District area. Neighbourhoods were built soon after the land was subdivided, and construction continued into the 1980s. In Dunluce, for example, the outline plan was approved in 1974 and most homes were finished by the 1980s. Dunluce also has a dry pond between 121 Street and Dunluce Road.

Sewer backup Edmonton: Castle Downs homes built before 1989

Castle Downs was built from the 1970s into the 1980s. EPCOR says homes built before 1989 weren't required to have a backwater valve. If you can't find one, EPCOR says your home might not have one.

Burst pipe in basement: first steps

Turn off the main valve by the water meter if you can reach it without stepping into water near power. EPCOR says the underground pipe on a lot is most likely the same age as the house. The rest is on burst pipes.
