Has your Burlington basement taken on water during a summer storm? Water that flows down from the escarpment has to go somewhere, and when the sewers fill, basements are often where it ends up.
We offer backwater valve installation, sump pumps, weeping tile disconnection and waterproofing across Burlington, from Aldershot and Roseland to Headon Forest and Millcroft.
Two programs working together
Burlington homeowners have a combination of support. Halton Region pays a share of eligible flood protection work, including 50% of a backwater valve up to $1,600 and 100% of weeping tile disconnection with a sump pump up to $6,500. The City of Burlington covers the building permit fee for sanitary line repair or replacement that includes a backwater valve.
Weeping tile and sump pump work
Disconnecting weeping tiles from the sewer and redirecting them to a sump pump is one of the most effective ways to reduce flooding risk. We sever and cap the connection, install the pit, pump and discharge line and record the before and after evidence Halton requires.
Waterproofing for walls that leak
If water is coming through the foundation walls, exterior waterproofing stops it at the source. We excavate, seal the wall, install new weeping tile and grade the soil to shed water away.
