Why Basements Flood in Ottawa (Especially in Spring)
Ottawa homes are at higher risk of flooding during seasonal transitions due to:
- Rapid snowmelt overwhelming drainage systems
- Heavy rainfall saturating the ground
- Frozen or compacted soil preventing water absorption
- Sump pump failures during peak demand
- Clogged or backed-up drains
- Foundation cracks allowing water intrusion
Homes in areas like Barrhaven, Kanata, Nepean, and Orleans are especially vulnerable due to soil conditions and drainage patterns.

- Turn off electricity to affected areas (only if safe to do so)
