What we see in Scarborough

Scarborough is drained by Highland Creek, the Rouge River and a string of ravines that run down to the Scarborough Bluffs. Homes near the ravines and at the bottom of long slopes are most exposed to basement flooding in heavy rain.

A large share of Scarborough's homes are postwar bungalows and backsplits, and many now have basement apartments. When water gets into a basement that someone lives in, it's urgent. We start drying fast, and your quote separates the tenant's belongings, your structure and any upgrades so the insurance claim stays clear.

We also do full basement renovations and legal secondary suites in Scarborough, with permits, fire separation and egress windows listed as their own lines.

Questions

Questions we hear

Can you make my Scarborough basement apartment legal?

Yes. A legal secondary suite needs a building permit and must meet fire separation, egress and ceiling height rules. We price each requirement on its own line so you can see what the permit asks for and what it costs.

Is Scarborough covered by the Toronto flooding subsidy?

Yes. Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, so eligible homes can get up to $6,650 in flood protection subsidies.

My tenant's belongings were damaged. Who pays?

Usually your tenant's own contents insurance. Your policy covers the building. We document both separately so each claim is clean.
