Basement flooding help in Burlington
The city and region pages below are the source for reporting a flood and for any subsidy. We link them so you can read the current rules yourself.
If water is in the basement now
Stay out of standing water until power to that area is off. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility. Keep children and pets out of sewage-contaminated water, and call your insurer. Photograph the damage before cleanup. The municipal page for Burlington has the local steps for reporting and cleanup.
Who to call
Report basement or wastewater flooding to Halton Region at 311 or 905-825-6000. The City of Burlington’s pages cover home flood assessments and permit-fee help. Foundation repairs on private property are still the owner’s job.
