Toronto's housing mix means different water risks
The City of Toronto has some of the most varied housing stock in the region, from pre-war homes with original clay drain tile in neighbourhoods like Riverdale and the Beaches, to high-rise condos downtown where a single unit's plumbing failure can affect several floors below. We've adapted our approach to handle both ends of that spectrum.
Older east-end and west-end homes
Many of these have foundations and drainage systems that predate modern building codes, making them more prone to seepage during heavy rain.
Condo and high-rise water events
A leak in one unit can travel through ceilings and walls into units below, requiring coordination with property management.
Aging municipal infrastructure
Parts of the city's older sewer systems can back up during intense storms, affecting basements across multiple blocks at once.
Combined sewers can mean backups during heavy storms
Some older parts of Toronto still use combined sewer systems that carry both stormwater and sewage. During a heavy summer storm, that combination can overwhelm capacity and push water back into basements through floor drains, a problem that's more common here than in newer suburban systems.
We respond with the right approach for city conditions
We treat backups in these areas with appropriate caution around contamination, and we coordinate with condo boards or property managers when a water event affects a multi-unit building.

Common causes of water damage across Toronto
A mix of aging infrastructure and dense housing means water damage shows up in a few recurring ways.
Combined sewer backups
Older neighbourhoods can see backups during intense storms when city systems reach capacity.
Aging drain tile and foundations
Pre-war homes often have original drainage systems more prone to seepage.
Condo plumbing failures
A burst supply line or failed appliance connection in one unit can affect several below it.
Roof and flat-roof leaks
Many downtown rowhouses and low-rise buildings have flat or low-slope roofs prone to leaks over time.
Ice damming in older homes
Freeze-thaw cycles can force meltwater under shingles on older, less-insulated roofs.
Window well flooding
Below-grade windows in older basements can flood during heavy or prolonged rain.
