What's Actually Happening
A Bungalow Covered 20% of Its Lot. The Custom Home Replacing It Covers 80%.
That 60% difference doesn't evaporate — it runs. Off the new lot, through the grading, and directly toward the neighbouring properties on either side.
That extra runoff has to go somewhere — and it often ends up on you.Toronto's Storm Sewers Were Designed for a Neighbourhood of Bungalows
The infrastructure under your street wasn't built to handle today's density. During heavy rain, those sewers surcharge — and when they're full, the water has to go somewhere.
When the sewer is at capacity, your property is the overflow.New Construction Disrupts Drainage — Across the Whole Block
Intensive excavation and site work alters the natural drainage pattern of entire streets. When a neighbouring grade rises or runoff paths shift, adjacent properties can find themselves absorbing water that never reached them before.
Your flooding didn't start on your lot.This is an engineering problem — and it has an engineering solution.
The Engineering Solution
We install commercial-grade stormwater systems — engineered for residential lots in an intensifying city.
Our clear-stone sub-base functions as a private underground storm reservoir — intercepting surface water before it reaches your foundation or the overwhelmed municipal sewer.
Water moves through a permeable surface immediately — soaking into the sub-base reservoir below rather than sheeting across your property, pooling at your foundation wall, or overloading an already-surcharging street drain.
Many Toronto properties fall within TRCA jurisdiction. We handle all permit applications, TRCA coordination, and rebate filings — including up to $6,650+ in available subsidies.
City of Toronto Rebates
available for qualifying stormwater upgrades
Permeable driveways and stormwater upgrades are precisely the work that qualifies for City of Toronto subsidy rebates. We assess your eligibility at no cost, as part of your free site assessment.
*Program launches May 1, 2026. Amounts depend on project scope and property eligibility.
Permit & Approval Management
Toronto permitting is complex — and for properties in TRCA jurisdiction or Special Policy Areas, it's even more so. We manage the full process: drawings, City submission, TRCA coordination, and bylaw compliance, start to finish.
Our Credentials
Every project is backed by full credentials, insurance, and professional certification.
