Homeowners will be eligible for the 100% Weeping Tile Disconnection subsidy

Halton Waterproofing subsidy program is a great initiative by the city to protects its homes from avoidable water damages. We are licensed and insured by the region of Halton to perform basement waterproofing services. We will guide you step by step on how to claim your subsidy payment from the city once the waterproofing project is complete.

Even though there are annual improvements made to the intricate system of underground pipes, catch basins and sewers, these improvements on their own are incapable of completely protecting a house from basement flooding. Owing to an increase in extreme and frequent weather events resulting from climatic change, it is critical residents in Halton take the necessary steps to minimize the possibility of basement flooding on their private property.

Waterproofing Halton has been on the rise after the city announced that it will subsidize homeowners’ basement against flood-proofing. The subsidies cover up to $5000 of the total installation costs of 3 particular flood prevention tools, which include:

Backwater valve – A device that prevents sewage from accumulating into a house. A building permit will be needed to install a backwater valve, and it must pass an examination by a certified building inspector as sent by the city, for you to be able to qualify for the subsidy.
Sump pump – A device that moves water far away from the house.
Capping, pipe severance, and foundation drain – This involves disconnecting your property’s weeping tile drainage pipe from the main city’s sewer system, and then sealing the opening.

All in all, if you are a homeowner participating in waterproofing Halton. Make sure to maintain the basement flooding prevention devices as per the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Maintaining the functional integrity of these devices is critical when it comes to safeguarding your property against basement flooding.
Applicable Terms and Conditions for Subsidy Application

  • You must be registered as the owner of a duplex, single-family home or triple property in Halton.
  • Your property must not have superseded the lifetime maximum amount of subsidy for every eligible installation.
  • Your property should be an existing one, not something that is under construction or in its planning stages.
  • Your property’s downspouts must be disconnected from the main city’s sewer system or you must have requested the city for an exemption.
  • Your application must be sent within one year after completion of the installation of the flood prevention device.
  • All paved areas of the front yard, including parking pads, must be compliant with the City’s Zoning By-law Requirements.
  • Your contractor or sub-contractor who carried out the installation of the devices must have a valid license given by the city for the work, during the installation time.

If you are thinking about applying for a basement flooding protection subsidy program but don’t know where to get started, we can guide you throughout the process seamlessly and quickly.

We are licensed by the region of Halton to carry out the installation of waterproofing prevention equipment such as sump pump and backwater valve, and we can also provide you assistance when it comes to filling out forms and then submitting them to the right authorities in order to receive the subsidy.

I called MT Drains because they had done a fine repair job in our kitchen a few months earlier (see below). Viktoriya in the office was very friendly & helpful in getting us a cost estimate in a timely fashion and setting up an appointment to fix the problem that fit our schedules. We received email confirmation and reminder of the appointment, and a text confirmation on the morning of the appointment itself. The technician, Amir, arrived a few minutes before the start of the window for the appointment, which I always appreciate a lot! He was friendly, polite and professional. He assessed the repair requirements, confirmed the estimate, and completed the job in a timely manner. Amir also cleaned up everything and even took the garbage away with him. Viktoriya followed up shortly thereafter by phone to check that we were pleased with the job, and then sent the invoice to me for the agreed amount. She also confirmed that they received our payment right away. I’ve used MT Drains’ services for plumbing issues before and will happily use them again!The drain from our kitchen sink was leaking near the place where it attached to the sink itself. The reason turned out to be corrosion that was rotting away the place where the drain pipes attach to the sink.Pavel from MT Drains responded to my Trusted Pros posting within minutes, and was able to have a plumber come that very day. Dima arrived within the agreed time frame. He was polite, friendly, efficient and very skilled at diagnosing the problem and making the repair by replacing the corroded parts.
