We had a small flood in our basement, and contacted DrainCom to come in and provide an assessment and quote for the work. Our experience with DrainCom was highly positive, from the initial call to the finished product. They arrived quickly to identify the issue (roots blocking our pipe) and provide an outline of the work to be done (digging down to replace the pipe and installing a backwater valve). Communication was excellent, especially with their office - they kept us informed throughout the project about what would happen and when, and answered all our questions. We thought we might lose a tall cedar during the digging, but they were able to work around it. The workers were determined to finish the work in one (long) day, as it was going to rain the next day. They had to remove a door and appliances during the project, but returned the next day to put it all back in place. We would definitely recommend DrainCom to anyone with plumbing needs!
It’s hard to find a plumber that is someone you can trust, has expert knowledge, and follows through on time. Serhiy is all of that and MORE! He doesn’t just find the problem, he investigates thoroughly and explores the best solutions to efficiently solve the issue with minimal disruption. Serhiy and his crew completed a plumbing issue by the proposed deadlines without delay. I find this to be a big challenge in this industry, but not with Draincom. I appreciated his communication and patience as he takes the time to help you understand exactly what is going on. No question is a bad question! Don’t think twice; contact Draincom and you’ll be in good hands!
This was the only company who set up a meeting in person and the plumber visited and who issued the quote also came back to do the job. He explained everything and answered my questions, Office staff were also very efficient and helpful. This is a professional company and I recommend them.
Quick response to an appointment request to fix a leaking toilet . Highly professional and friendly attentive service from start to finish. Technician Will did a fabulous job; providing good advice and an expert repair. I was so pleased to have my problem resolved so quickly.
Very positive experience with Vlad and Vassil on a big job replacing the 100+ year old cast iron stack and clay drain pipe in our Victorian house in downtown Toronto, as well as our old (lead) water supply. They arranged the permit and installed a backflow valve, dug out all the old kit and installed new piping, new drains and roughed in a bathroom in 3 days. It was fast, high quality work, and priced competitively, and they left everything clean and tidy afterwards despite the (highly) messy nature of the work. Bravo!

See All 100 ReviewsFirst, find out where the blockage is. If it's in the City's part of the sewer, Durham Region fixes it. If it's in yours, we camera the line, clear it with hydro jetting, repair the break, and install a backwater valve so the next storm stays outside.
Older homes near downtown and the Lakeview area often have clay or cast iron laterals. Roots crack the joints and sags trap waste. We repair or replace the line trenchless where we can, so your lawn and driveway stay put.
Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil open cracks in poured and block walls. We inject poured-wall cracks from inside and membrane block walls from outside.
Wet clay pushes water through the cove joint. Interior weeping tile and a sump pit, or exterior drainage, give it a way out.
We replace worn pumps, add battery backup and alarms, and rebuild flooded window wells with proper drains.
Homes near Oshawa Creek, Goodman Creek and Montgomery Creek deal with higher groundwater. Perimeter drainage and a reliable sump handle it.
If your floor drain backs up, call Durham Works first at 905-655-3344 so the Region can check its side. If the problem is on your side, call us. Our camera inspection shows exactly where the trouble is, so nobody digs in the wrong place.
Our waterproofing company serves all of Oshawa with interior basement waterproofing, exterior basement waterproofing, crack repair and sewer line repair. Searching for basement waterproofing near me in Lakeview, Windfields or McLaughlin? We come to you.
The right choice depends on where water gets in, how deep your basement is and how much room there is to dig. We’ll show you which one fits after a free inspection.
Interior waterproofing, also called internal basement waterproofing, stops water from inside the house. We open a channel around the floor’s edge, lay new weeping tile in clear stone, fix a DELTA-MS membrane to the walls and drain it all to a sump pit. It handles groundwater in homes near Oshawa, Goodman and Montgomery creeks. Expect $100 to $240 per linear foot.
Exterior waterproofing keeps water off the wall in the first place. We excavate to the footing, clean and repair the wall, apply a waterproof membrane, lay new weeping tile and restore your yard. In older Lakeview and downtown homes, we can repair the sewer lateral in the same dig. Expect $150 to $400 per linear foot.
From your first call to the warranty in your hand. Clear steps, a written price and no surprises along the way.
Walls, floor and drains, with a sewer camera when there's any sign of a drain problem.
Wall work and drain work priced separately so you can see both.
City permit and Ontario One Call.
Most jobs take 1 to 3 days.
Water test and final camera check.
Site restored, warranty in hand.
Sewer repairs are quoted after a camera inspection because pipe length, depth and condition vary. Trenchless repair usually costs less than digging up the yard.
The City of Oshawa doesn’t list its own basement flooding subsidy. Durham Region has offered an interest-free Basement Flooding Loan of up to $3,000 for a backwater valve and sump pump after a sanitary backup. Confirm current terms with the Region before applying.
Oshawa Creek runs 50 km from the Oak Ridges Moraine through a 120 square kilometre watershed, fed by Goodman and Montgomery creeks. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) issues flood forecasts and maps.
Clay soil holds water, and Ontario winters crack foundations as moisture freezes and expands.
Neighbourhoods near downtown and the lake have older drains and foundations. Newer north-end homes deal with settlement cracks instead.
Our free inspection checks your walls, drains, sump and grading, and shows you what needs fixing and what doesn’t.
What every job includes:
Over 20 years we’ve waterproofed more than 300,000 linear feet of foundation walls and installed about 700,000 feet of membrane and weeping tile. Our office is at 1307 Kamato Rd., Mississauga, ON L4W 2M2. Hours: Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with emergency response by phone for active flooding and sewer backups.
Durham Region handles the pipe from the street to 1 metre outside your foundation. You handle the part from there into the house. A camera inspection shows which side the problem is on.
CLOCA publishes floodplain maps online. If your home is near a creek, we’ll also check your drainage and groundwater during the inspection.
Often, yes. Trenchless repair works through small access points and leaves your yard and driveway mostly untouched.
The City doesn’t list one. Durham Region has offered an interest-free loan for a backwater valve and sump pump after a backup. Confirm current terms with the Region.
We book Oshawa visits regularly, and active leaks and backups get priority.
It depends on the wall and where the water enters. We’ll recommend one after the inspection.
Interior waterproofing runs $100 to $240 per linear foot and exterior $150 to $400. Sewer work is quoted after a camera inspection.
Yes. Our 25-year warranty goes with the house.
From Oshawa west to Mississauga and Halton, one team handles waterproofing and drains.
