A Free Basement Waterproofing Inspection Finds Leaks You May Not Even Know You Had

With the free basement waterproofing inspection by Draincom, we us a FLIR i7 infrared camera. It comes in very handy in detecting potential leaks in addition to those that are already obvious. This infrared camera detects even the slightest difference in surface temperature and shows it on the monitor. The more wet an area is, the colder the surface is. Even without any visible signs you can see with the naked eye, for example; drywall might be wet inside, but has not yet penetrated the drywall. Once we detect the colder areas, we use moisture detectors to make sure it’s moisture causing it rather than something like poor insulation.

The weather in Toronto can be brutal and basement flooding is an issue we all deal with. It is essential that you, as a homeowner take the steps necessary to waterproof your basement. The city of Toronto and Draincom want to help you. The Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Rebate Program is here to assist you. It’s also called The Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program, but they both mean the same thing. Let’s dive into the steps to secure this vital support.

Step 1: What Basement Flooding Protections Are Covered by the Subsidy?

The Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program extends a helping hand by covering essential basement flooding protection installations to mitigate flooding risks. These include:

Sump Pump Installation: A crucial tool for water management in your basement. It also covers backup power installation and sump pump alarm installation. The City offers a subsidy of up to 80% of the invoiced cost, up to a maximum of $1,750.
Backwater Valve Installation: To prevent sewage backflow during heavy rainfall. It also covers the installation of a backwater valve alarm. The City offers a subsidy of up to 80% of the invoiced cost, up to a maximum of $1,250.
Pipe Severance and Capping: An effective measure to disconnect the foundation drain from the city’s sewer system. The City offers a subsidy of up to 80% of the invoiced cost, up to a maximum of $400.

Step 2: Eligibility Criteria for the Basement Flooding Protection Rebate

Are you eligible for this program? Eligibility revolves around: (This is directly from the City of Toronto website.

You must be the registered owner of a single-family residential, duplex, triplex or fourplex property within the City of Toronto.

The property must not have exceeded the lifetime maximum subsidy amount for each eligible installation.

The subsidy is available only to existing homes, not homes in the planning stages or under construction.

The downspouts from the property’s eavestrough must be disconnected from the City’s sewer system or you must have applied to the City for an exemption.

All front yard paved areas of the property, including parking pads, must comply with the City’s Zoning By-law requirements.

You must submit your application within one year of completion of the installation of the flood protection device.

Your contractor(s) and any sub-contractor(s) who performed the installation of flood prevention device(s) must possess a valid license from the City of Toronto for the installation work, at the time of installation. Draincom is licensed and insured to do the work and offers a free inspection.

Original invoices from the licensed contractor(s) and any sub-contractor(s) who performed the installation of the flood prevention device(s) must be provided with your application.
