  • Basement Flooding – Good Checklist

    Basement Flood Resilience Measures for New Construction

    • Measures provide risk reduction independent of “municipal-side” or landscape-scale intervention
    • Measures address recurring vulnerabilities, as identified in insurance loss data, homeowners surveys, damage surveys, municipal reporting, and related sources.
    • “Low risk” to builders: Technically mature, measures may already be incorporated into codes (though inconsistently applied), measures may be routinely applied in some jurisdictions, and/or currently incentivized by (some) insurers
    • Likely applicable anywhere in Canada/across hazard areas
    • Comparatively low complexity and cost for builders, installers, contractors
