Brampton next door to us
Brampton shares its southern border with Mississauga, and we reach it along Highway 410 and Highway 407 without leaving Peel Region. The city is large and mostly residential, with older streets in downtown Brampton, 1970s and 1980s neighbourhoods in Bramalea and Heart Lake, and newer subdivisions around Castlemore, Mount Pleasant and Credit Valley. The Etobicoke Creek and the Credit River both pass through it.
Housing here is dominated by two-storey detached homes, semis and townhouse rows, and an unusually high number have a finished basement with a separate apartment. A leak or flood in one of those homes affects two households and sometimes two insurance policies.
Peel Region programs and permits
The Region of Peel lists a backwater valve rebate on its website, with conditions that include a building permit from the municipality. For Brampton that means the City of Brampton. Read the current terms before you apply. The Region deals with sewers, the City with local drainage and permits, and the two share responsibility for what happens on your street. Neither of them dries your basement, which is where we come in.
If you have had a sewer backup, see how we handle sewage backup. For a flooded basement, see basement flooding.

Questions about contents
Water in a Brampton home often reaches the things that matter most: photo albums, documents, electronics and furniture. Lift items off wet floors as soon as it is safe, and put paper documents in a freezer bag if you cannot deal with them right away. Tell us when you call what was in the room, and we will plan a contents list so your insurance adjuster can see what was moved, what was dried and what had to be discarded.
Getting around Brampton
Brampton is spread out, and the quickest route depends on which part of the city you are in. Bramalea and Heart Lake are reached from Highway 410, Castlemore and Vales of Humber from Highway 427 or Highway 50, and Credit Valley from Mississauga Road. When you call, give us your cross streets and tell us whether the home has a driveway, a shared lane or a visitor lot. For townhouse complexes, also give us the management contact so we can arrange access to shut-offs and common areas.

Does Peel pay for a backwater valve in Brampton?
The Region of Peel's rebate pays sixty per cent of the invoiced amount, to a maximum of one thousand five hundred dollars including tax, for a valve on the sanitary lateral. A building permit from the City of Brampton is needed before installation, and basement apartments sharing a lateral are not eligible. Confirm current terms with the Region.
