Protect your property

Keep your basement dry, be a good neighbour, and use rain as a resource.

As a property owner you want to protect your most valuable asset from water-related damage. Damage from flooding or seepage can cost a bundle and is often not covered by insurance.

Minimize flooding, reduce runoff

  • Your basement is a hole in the ground – it wants to fill up with water! Take action to keep the water out.
  • Minimize flood risk for your neighbours.
  • Protect your nearest water body (creek, river or lake).
  • Reduce runoff pollution and help prevent the release of untreated sewage from overloaded sewer systems.
  • Conserve treated water by harvesting rain to water your yard and garden.
  • Soak up rainwater to recharge depleted groundwater.

We can help
