Ontario Yard Drainage is committed to thorough inspections of adjacent lands to determine the best course of action in Brantford. Possible solutions include perimeter drains around the lot to prevent cascading water flows from neighbouring properties from infiltrating and collecting along foundation walls. French drains along foundations offer additional support and protect the foundation from hydrostatic pressure caused by subsoil saturation freezing and expansion.

It was another chart-busting construction year in 2022 for the County of Brant with projects started that were valued at more than $270 million. With all the new builds going up, Brantford and Paris Ontario are seeing an influx of new families moving to buy these new builds. New builds pose several drainage challenges as these areas mature and settle. Many of these areas experience drainage issues due to grading and in particular, blocks of homes backing on to legacy neighbourhoods.

Issues such as downspouts and grading sloping back towards legacy homes. In many cases, back lot storm sewers have yet to be installed leaving homes susceptible to sub soil saturation and cascading run offs. Homes facing these challenges tend to show more issues with cracking and heaving of basement concrete pads as well as driveways.

Brantford has many low laying and flat areas. Areas like West Brant, Holmedale, and Eagle Place are vulnerable to flooding from the Grand River which runs through Brantford.
