Plumbing north Edmonton: a plumber in the Clareview area

Plumbing north Edmonton: the Clareview area

In 1961 the Bannerman area, along with much of present-day northeast Edmonton, was annexed to the City. Much of Bannerman's residential land was developed in the 1970s. In Belmont, most homes went up between 1975 and 1977, about half of them single-detached, with the Kennedale Ravine to the south. Kirkness has been under development since the 1970s, with most homes complete by the 2000s.

Sewer backup Edmonton: floor drains in 1970s homes

EPCOR says backwater valves weren't required before 1989, and that a home built before 1989 likely has weeping tile but no sump pump. If sewage comes up through the floor drain, stop using water and call EPCOR at 780-412-4500. Then see sewer backup.

No hot water Edmonton: tank checks

The hot water tank is the homeowner's, not EPCOR's. Before any check, rule out a gas smell. The safe checks are on no hot water.
