With substantial downpour, snowfall, and the ground’s defrosting in spring, overflowed basements can rapidly turn into a nightmare, especially in the event that you live in a district in the Greater Toronto Area that is topographically low.

Basement flooding is a predominant issue among homeowners, and can cost upwards of a few thousand dollars in repairs, it often destroys belongings and interior decoration beyond repair. On the other hand, basement flooding can be prevented if excellent plumbing equipment is installed properly and maintenance of drainage and plumbing systems inside and around your home, each of which assumes a vital part in securing your home against basement flooding.

Factors that expose homes to basement flooding

Any home that has a basement can become flooded, as groundwater around the home can penetrate into the foundation and walls, making them prone to leaks. The groundwater surrounding your home can likewise become a problem if your foundation drains are not working as they should or if you have problems with sewage backwater. Both a sump pump and a backwater valve are critical parts in basement flooding assurance.

The sump pump works through the accumulation of groundwater that it then pumps far from your home, guarding you against flooding with a detailed controlled drainage system. The system can help shield your basement against flooding from both sewage and groundwater, which makes it one of the most effective methods for basement flooding prevention.

Protect yourself as best you can

While the danger of basement flooding is never avoidable, when basement-flooding protection is done correctly, it can help prevent issues with basement flooding tenfold. These measures are able to minimize the potential of flooding.

Different measures you can take to secure your basement from flooding include: fixing any breaks, gaps, or openings you may discover in your home’s basement and foundation, ensure that your sump pumps are draining accordingly and that maintenance is performed regularly.

Most homeowners are not aware that spending a little bit of money now and again for preventative maintenance for their basement is going to save them a great deal of money (and frustration) later on.

It is critical that property owners protect their basement against flooding as best as possible. This means that you need to do your research and find a professional plumbing company like Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services to set up their basement to prevent flooding.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.
