What the program has covered
Over the years the program has refunded part of the cost of three main jobs: a backwater valve, a sump pump, and disconnecting weeping tile from the sanitary sewer. There have been maximum amounts per item and conditions on how the work is done.
Always check first: Read the current terms on the City of Toronto website or call 311 before starting work.
Typical requirements
- The property is a residential home in Toronto, which includes Scarborough.
- A plumbing permit is obtained for the work.
- The work passes City inspection.
- Applications include invoices and supporting documents.
How to approach it
- Check the current program details and deadlines.
- Have a plumber assess what protection your home needs.
- Get a written quote with each item listed separately.
- Arrange the permit and the work.
- Keep invoices and the inspection record, then apply.
Homes outside Toronto
Pickering and Markham are not part of Toronto, so this program does not apply. Check with Durham Region or York Region.
