Program facts verified September 4, 2026 against toronto.ca. Programs can change at any time — confirm with the City before signing a contract.
Etobicoke homeowners — particularly in older neighbourhoods like Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch, and parts of Alderwood — are eligible for the same City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy as the rest of the city. Older homes in Etobicoke often have legacy plumbing connections that benefit most from backwater valves and sump pumps.
Why Etobicoke homes need this
Etobicoke includes some of the older housing stock in Toronto. Properties built before the 1970s often have foundation drains connected directly to the City sewer — a key factor in basement flooding. The foundation drain capping subsidy ($400) is particularly relevant.
