How to Prepare Your Toronto Commercial Property for Heavy Rainfall

Essential Strategies to Protect Your Toronto Commercial Property from Rain-Related Damages.

Spring showers may bring May flowers—but they can also bring flooded basements, damaged foundations, and costly repairs if you're not ready. Toronto’s rainy season can be especially harsh on commercial properties, where a little water intrusion can disrupt operations and drive up expenses.


At Jetflo, we’re not just here for emergency repairs—we’re here to help you prepare and protect your business. Here's how to get ahead of the rain and avoid costly water damage:


1. Schedule a Professional Drain Inspection

Clogged or damaged drains are one of the leading causes of commercial flooding. Our team can inspect your drain system to make sure it's clear, functional, and ready for heavy rainfall.


2. Waterproof Vulnerable Areas

Basements, lower levels, and foundation walls are common entry points for water. Waterproofing these zones before the storm hits can save you thousands in repairs and downtime.


3. Check for Signs of Sewer Line Trouble

Foul smells, slow drains, or unusual noises could point to a damaged sewer line. Jetflo offers fast, expert sewer repair services to stop problems before they become emergencies.


4. Clean and Maintain Catch Basins

Catch basins and storm drains should be cleared of leaves, debris, and sludge. Regular maintenance prevents backups and keeps runoff flowing safely away from your building.


5. Install a Backwater Valve

Backwater valves prevent sewage from backing up into your property during intense storms. If you don’t have one installed yet, now’s the time.


6. Have an Emergency Plan in Place

Know who to call and what steps to take if flooding occurs. Jetflo offers 24/7 emergency drain and waterproofing services across the GTA.


Protect Your Investment Before the Rain Hits

Jetflo has helped countless Toronto business owners keep their properties dry and damage-free. Whether you need preventative waterproofing, drain repairs, or sewer inspections, we’re here to help you get ahead of the storm.
