Basement waterproofing in Milton.
From Old Milton's century basements to Hawthorne Village's newer ones, we find where water gets in and stop it, backed by the No Leak Guarantee.
New homes leak too.
Most of Milton's homes are young. The town grew from about 31,000 people in 2001 to almost 133,000 in 2021, so a lot of basements here are less than 25 years old. New doesn't mean dry: poured walls crack as they cure, tie holes and joints leak, and window wells on freshly graded lots fill up once the soil settles.
Storms find the weak spots. During the mid-July 2024 storm, Milton firefighters were called to several flooding incidents, including sump pump problems, and Halton asked residents to report flooded homes. A sump pump that's too small, has no backup or discharges too close to the house is one of the most common problems we fix.
Sixteen Mile Creek runs through town from the escarpment toward Lake Ontario, and part of Milton drains to Bronte Creek. Older homes in Old Milton, mostly built between 1850 and 1890, are the ones most likely to have damp stone walls and little or no drainage at all.
