1960’s

No Corrode Pipe

No-Corrode pipe was used in Edmonton from 1940’s through the 1960’s when it was replaced with PVC. No-Corrode was lightweight, albeit brittle, and soft enough to be cut with a hand saw. It was a low cost alternative to heavier cast iron and clay tile pipes used previously. Lack of strength causes pipes made of no-corrode to fail more frequently than pipes made of other materials. The average life of no-corrode pipe is about 50 years under ideal conditions.

Tree Roots

Clay Tile Pipe With Tree Root Blockage

Tree roots are a very common problem for sewer lines constructed prior to the early 1980’s. This is because these sewer lines were built using VCT ( vitreous clay tile) pipe. Clay tile pipe is an ideal material for transporting water since it is inert. However, it does have a downside, namely… the joints.Clay tile pipe tends to leak water at the joints, making a wonderful water source for thirsty trees and shrubs.

Household

Grease & Paper Blockages

When fats, oils, and grease are flushed down sinks, drains, or toilets, it causes problems for both you and the City.  These blockages will gradually restrict the flow of wastewater from your house, leading to sewage back-ups and the resulting damage.  They also deposit grease in the public sewer main which negatively impacts the City’s sewer system and can cause problems for numerous houses.

Clogged drains can be a hassle, especially during Edmonton’s unpredictable seasons. By being aware of these common causes and seeking professional help when needed, residents can ensure smoother flowing drains.

We called CSL based on a recommendation from a construction / renovator that we trust. Chris came out right on time to inspect our system and gave a thorough inspection. Rather than try to drum up business, he gave an honest assessment of options that ultimately resulted in us not proceeding. Truly appreciate his integrity. Would highly recommend his services.

Excellent pricing, honest, and responsive. My basement floor drained backed up with sewage. I had to call into work last second and start the hunt. My mother and I had called numerous places, with a range of quotes from 450$ to 1230$ !! Finally I found this fine, independently operated company, and was given a flat rate quote. The gentleman showed up the same day and got it done in less than hour, and no joke - flat fee with tax. CSL saved my butt. Great business, takes pride in entrepreneurship, honest and straightforward, and reasonably priced!
