The Town of Cochrane has launched legal action against those deemed responsible for faulty retaining walls in the Bow Ridge subdivision.

Gabion walls built in the area that were made of rocks contained in wire baskets became loose and fence poles gave way causing the need for the town to put together an emergency plan for safety.

On May 9, council approved expenses for $133,000, of which $50,000 have been spent on filing a statement of claim.

“The lawsuit has been filed,” said Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Julian deCocq. “We have to act.”

The town also spent $60,000 to conduct a study to determine the reasons of the failure of retaining walls built to stabilize the subdivision’s steep slopes.

Town staff has not said what is the degree of steepness of the slopes, noting those numbers vary. The town will be conducting further investigations into the causes and will keep monitoring the situation.

Standards for home inspectors

As of September 1, 2011, home inspection businesses and individual home inspectors must obtain a licence from the provincial government.

Qualifications for a home inspector licence

• Inspectors must have a degree, diploma or certificate in home inspection from an approved educational institution and successfully complete a test inspection. The government currently recognizes the Carson Dunlop & Associates curriculum offered by SAIT and will evaluate other courses that become available in Alberta.
• Inspectors are automatically qualified for a licence if they hold a Registered Home Inspector designation from the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors; or a Certified Master Inspector designation from the Master Inspector Certification Board, Inc., affiliated with the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
• Inspectors who do not meet these requirements may apply for a conditional licence valid until March 31, 2013 to give them time to acquire the necessary qualifications.

Standards for home inspections
The Home Inspection Business Regulation establishes basic requirements that home inspections must include, unless the consumer specifically agrees otherwise. Inspections must address the condition of a home’s:

• roofing, flashings or chimney;
• exterior, including lot gradings, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, patios and decks;
• structure;
• electrical;
• heating, heat pumps and cooling;
• insulation;
• plumbing; and
• interior.

Inspectors can make recommendations on any deficiencies they identify, such as suggesting the consumer obtain an expert opinion, but are prohibited from estimating the cost of any repairs or improvements.
