  • In BC the wait times are longer. But this is a symptom of the underfunding from federal and provincial governments. COVID was tough on the health care systems and they did a lot with what they had. Now should be the time to invest in the system and get it healthy again, but apparently more pipelines are the priority…

    But overall I am satisfied for our system. It does not cost taxpayers an arm and a leg to fund it, and an emergency won’t bankrupt someone. If you can get extended coverage such as with an employer then you pay minimal amounts for dental, medications, and paramedical services like physio or massage. From what I hear of the American system, I am shocked that there isn’t some type of bare bones coverage for everyone. Sounds like a third world country from up here…







  • Depends on the box, it could be gravel underneath but it I would bet is a solid concrete box with pipes coming in at the top and a drain pipe below that is supposed to take all the water away. Once you clear it out you will see what you are dealing with. The similar setup at my house has 3 perimeter drain lines coming in, and one drain line that goes to the street sewer. Every house is difficult. Take a picture when you have it cleaned out so you can refer back to it next time.

    Take the sediment out. You may need someone to come in and clean the drains. Usually an exterior drain backs up either with debris or roots, they can constrict the flow or block it completely. Fix it now, if it is left the only solution would be installing new pipes which is a lot more work!
