Construction blunder fills homes with grout – Our Communities

Residents of Semple Avenue were stunned to find pools of grout in their basements following a construction job error the last weekend of May. | “(I was in) complete shock. I went downstairs and I thought, ‘Oh, the sewer backed up.’ And then we quickly realized it wasn’t sewer water, that it was (grout) coming in through our sewer drains,” Kaitlin Bialek told The Times on May 31. | The City of Winnipeg had hired a contractor to install a new land drainage sewer trunk shaft at the intersection of Semple Avenue and Scotia Street. | “On (Sat., May 29), a contractor hired by the City was grouting the trunk shaft, when a breach of the combined sewer occurred. This breach allowed grout to enter the sewer services of some homes. In response, crews have cleaned the combined sewer in the area, and are currently investigating its condition,” a city spokesperson said in an email.
