Flooding can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare, turning your cozy basement into a disaster zone. The rising risks in Toronto due to heavy rainfall and older infrastructure make it vital to protect your space and all it holds. Thankfully, the City of Toronto understands the importance of safeguarding homes, offering a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program that provides up to $3,400 in financial support to help you shield your basement from water damage.
How Does the Flood Protection Subsidy Help?
Imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is prepared for even the heaviest downpours. The subsidy covers critical flood-prevention measures like:
- Backwater Valve Installation: This device acts as your home’s first line of defense, blocking sewage from entering your basement during intense rain.
- Sump Pump Installation: Designed to move water away from your foundation, a sump pump can be the hero that keeps your basement dry.
- Disconnection of Storm Sewer and Weeping Tile Connections: Severing and capping these connections ensures stormwater stays outside, where it belongs.
And to qualify, you need professional installation by a licensed expert—someone you can trust, like Stellar Work Construction. Note: Downspout disconnection is not eligible under this program.
