Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program
Basement flooding and heavy rainfall are becoming increasingly common across Brampton and the surrounding area. To help prevent costly water damage, the City of Brampton offers a subsidy program that assists homeowners with the cost of flood prevention measures.
The City of Brampton’s Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program provides up to $3,400 to eligible residential homeowners. Peel Heating and Air Conditioning is proud to offer expert installation of all devices and upgrades covered under this program.
What Is the Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program?
The Basement Flooding Protection Program is designed to help homeowners install effective flood prevention devices. While the city is working to reduce flooding risks more broadly, individual properties remain vulnerable. This program helps Brampton residents better protect their homes.
Peel Heating specializes in the installation of the key systems and devices included in the subsidy program. Our team understands the application process and will guide you through it from start to finish.
What Does the City of Brampton Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Cover?
The following flood protection systems and services are eligible for reimbursement through the subsidy:
Backwater Valve Installation
Prevents sewage from backing up into your basement during heavy rain. Even if you’ve never had a backup before, it’s a valuable safeguard.
Sump Pump Installation
Removes groundwater from your basement to keep it dry and reduce the risk of mould. Not sure if you need one? Our experts can evaluate your situation.
Severance and Capping of Storm Sewer or Weeping Tile Connections
Disconnecting your home’s foundation drains from the city’s storm sewer system prevents overload during storms.
Additional waterproofing or drainage improvements may also qualify. If you’re unsure what your home needs, we can assess and advise on the best upgrades—and how much of a subsidy you may qualify for.
