Where Oshawa floods, according to the City

The City of Oshawa says the areas most affected by flooding are in the older parts of the city, where roads were not designed for major flows and where lot grading was changed before the City's 2006 Site Alteration By-law.

Who to call in Oshawa

If water came up through a floor drain, the City directs you to the Region of Durham Works Department depot at 905-655-3344. Call us for the cleanup.

If water is seeping through the basement walls or floor, the City suggests having a professional assess the weeping system around your footing. We clean up and dry the basement; the weeping system is a waterproofing job.

Oshawa questions

I rent a basement apartment in Oshawa. Who should call?

Tell your landlord right away. Repairs are usually the owner's responsibility; your belongings fall under tenant insurance, if you have it.

Is there a City of Oshawa subsidy for flood protection?

As of October 2026 we could not find a current City of Oshawa or Region of Durham homeowner subsidy for backwater valves or sump pumps on their websites. Ask the City and the Region before you plan work.

Do you handle insurance claims for Oshawa homes?

Yes, the same way as in Whitby: photos, moisture readings and drying logs for your adjuster.
