Affordable Flood Protection with Rebate Options

The cost of installing a backwater valve depends on the property’s layout and required plumbing modifications. Eligible homeowners in Mississauga and Brampton may qualify for a $1,500 rebate from the Region of Peel. Additional rebates are available from the City of Mississauga, offering up to $10,500 through flood prevention programs. We provide a clear, itemized quote after inspection and support you through the entire rebate process.

Frequently Asked Questions:

You must be the registered homeowner of a detached, semi-detached, duplex, or townhouse located in Mississauga or Brampton. You must provide proof of ownership (such as a tax bill), and the installation must be completed by a licensed plumber with a valid city business license.

For Mississauga, the Flood Resilience Rebate requires proof of flood damage. However, the Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate and Peel Region’s $1,500 sanitary backwater valve rebate do not necessarily require past flooding. Eligibility varies, so it's best to check with the program administrators or call 905-791-7800 ext. 4409 for confirmation.

You must submit a complete application package including your city tax bill, contractor invoices showing proof of payment, confirmation of permit and inspection, and confirmation of downspout disconnection (or a signed waiver).

AMAZING service & results! We had a sewer backup, the city wouldn't help without a 'proper access pt' and a previous plumber who cracked our toilet tank. Mike came out to investigate w/ camera, snaked the drains, helped us understand our options, talked w/ the city on our behalf, had the cleanout w/ back-water valve installed the next day & went out of his way to get us a new toilet (at cost) & even installed it for us FREE when the other guy wouldn't even come back to look. We have already recommended Mike & Canadian Rooter to friends & family. This company really came through for us!

A sewage backup required emergency work, inside and outside. Naz came out to assess the plumbing situation and had a crew there quickly. The front lawn was dug up and the clog located and repaired. A backup valve was installed and the hole filled in. Because a large tarp was used, the lawn looked the same after the work was completed. Efficient, speedy, friendly service with explanations along the way to satisfy our questions. Because of two major flooded basements from rain storms, a waterproofing of the basement was required. Naz was called again. Again his crew arrived on time, completed the work quickly, protected the work site, and cleaned up well afterwards. They even changed a corroded downpipe that was not included in the original estimate,. I was totally satisfied with both projects. Well done Naz, Walter and the others!

After having the sewer back up last year, we were not willing to live that nightmare again. The guys put in a back flow valve and sump pump. All the staff were very professional. They showed up in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company.

Exceptional Service, second to none! My family was devastated due to numerous basement flooding each time it rained this spring. Mike came to the rescue and offered solutions to our problems. Each time they did a project, his team was efficient, courteous, and professional. Mike walked us through the specifics of installing a sump pump and waterproofing. He ironed our worries gave us peace of mind. Our sump pump works efficiently. The landscape at my front garden was exactly the same before the excavation. As if no one stepped on it! They really clean after their debris. That big job was done in two days. The quality of their work is outstanding. Their attitude is great. Nick fixed the leak on our meter working around the time slot when the city could shut off form the city's main line. I recommended Canadian Rooter to my neighbour and she called Mike the next day. She was also happy about the service (sump pump), and called them for another project. I am a very satisfied customer!
