Basement Flood Cleanup Toronto, ON

Combined sewers in older Toronto neighborhoods cause 70% of basement flood calls Basement Flood Cleanup Oakville LLC receives from the city. The Beaches, Leslieville, and parts of Etobicoke sit on combined sewer infrastructure built before 1960. During storms exceeding 25 mm per hour, stormwater and sanitary sewage merge, backing up through floor drains. The 2013 Toronto flood dumped 126 mm in 2 hours, costing $1 billion in insured losses. Pre-war homes along Danforth Avenue and in Old Toronto feature stone foundations with zero waterproofing membrane. Newer condos in CityPlace and Liberty Village face a different risk — supply line failures on upper floors that cascade into basement parking garages. Toronto homeowners qualify for the City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy — up to $3,400 CAD for backwater valve installation.
