Water damage restoration in Mississauga
In Mississauga, water damage can come from a storm, a creek or the unit above. Tell us what happened, in a house or a condo, and we'll get back to you.
Mississauga's flood records are written by Cooksville Creek, Little Etobicoke Creek and short, violent storms
On July 8, 2013, more than 126 mm fell at Pearson airport in about ten hours. Near Dixie and Dundas, Little Etobicoke Creek overtopped its engineered channel the same day.
On July 16, 2024, more than 106 mm fell in about four hours. Lake Saigon, at Matheson and Hurontario, held back water that would have reached the Cooksville Creek lands downstream.
More than a quarter of Mississauga homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, so a leak in one unit can become water damage in the units below it.
In Mississauga, the City handles its roads and two rebates, and Peel Region handles sewer backups
- Flooding on City roads or property: the City, on 311.
- A sewer backup into your home: Peel Region's sewer-backup help (a fee may apply).
- Before you install flood protection: the City's Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate needs pre-approval first.
- If an intense storm flooded your house on or after July 8, 2013: the City's Flood Resilience Rebate shares the cost of flood-resilient upgrades for owners of houses, townhouses and duplexes.
