2025 Waterproofing Rebates
You might be surprised to learn that if you’re dealing with a damp or flooding basement, there could be financial help available, even though Newmarket doesn’t run its own rebate program. Because you’re part of the GTA, many homeowners qualify for Toronto’s Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program, which can save you tons of money if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Rebate for Installing a Sump Pump
If you’re looking to install a sump pump or just upgrade from your old one, then the City of Toronto offers a subsidy of up to 80% of the total cost (max $1,750) which includes the materials, labour, and taxes.To qualify, your sump pump must be properly installed with a basin, pump, and discharge pipe that empties at least two metres from your foundation onto a permeable surface. An inspection by Toronto Building staff will be needed for you to get the rebate.
Rebates for Weeping Tile
If your home’s weeping tile is connected to the city storm sewer, disconnecting and capping it can reduce the risk of basement flooding during heavy rain. This work is eligible for a rebate of up to $400 (80% of the cost) when done in combination with a sump pump install. Just disconnecting downspouts doesn’t qualify.
Soil Type in Newmarket & How It Affects Local Waterproofing Services
Your home likely sits on silty clay or sandy silt soils, which are usually soils that hold water for some time. These soils are common across York Region and while on the surface might seem like any other soil, they act differently than more porous grounds.
Silty clay is slow to drain, holding that water long after some heavy downpour or snow melt. The extra water it’s holding will make the soil expand, putting extra hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls. Over time, this extra pressure can cause problems like cracks, bowing, and general damage to your foundation walls.
With sandy silt soils, it lets water pass through a bit better, but it still holds a lot of moisture and can shift with seasonal changes. When it dries out, it shrinks slightly, creating small gaps around your foundation where water will love to pool up in.
Waterproofing Services That Can Help
- Sump Pumps: These are the backbone of keeping your basement dry, pumping out all excess water.
- Foundation Crack Repair: Even hairline cracks can let water in, so let us patch those up before water even gets a chance to leak through.
- French Drain: An interior French drain system collects water before it reaches your floor and directs it to your sump pump.
What Affects Waterproofing Costs?
The cost of waterproofing a basement isn’t just about how many square feet it is, you also have to think about the condition of your home and how water has already affected it. From Armitage to the East Holland River, there are a bunch of common issues that might need to be addressed before starting your waterproofing solution.
- Existing Mould: If your home is always damp, mould could be growing in the walls, insulation, or under flooring. Removing it safely and for good will require professional remediation, which will increase the cost.
- Cracked Walls: Foundation cracks not only ruin the look of your home, but also lets water to sneak in and cause damage. Some may need interior epoxy injections, while others might need a simple patch job from the outside.
- Soil Pressure: Silty clay and sandy silt soils expand when wet and shrink when dry. This constant movement creates unneeded extra pressure on your basement walls, which leads to damages.
- Foundation Size: Larger basements naturally involve more linear footage, materials, and labour. The total area needing protection plays a big role in determining the overall cost of your waterproofing system.
