Plumbers for backwater valves, sump pumps and drains.
In Barrie, basement flooding prevention is tied closely to the city's Disconnect to Protect programme, which helps homeowners keep stormwater and groundwater out of the sanitary sewer. The programme covers several kinds of work: disconnecting downspouts, redirecting a sump pump discharge away from a laundry tub or floor drain, and disconnecting a foundation drain from the sanitary lateral to build a new sump and pump with surface discharge. Some of that work needs a Building Permit, and the programme is open only to residents inside the Barrie municipal boundary. If you live in Innisfil, Angus or Springwater, check whether the programme applies to your address before you plan around it. Before you hire, ask the contractor whether the job needs a permit and who will apply for it. Ask for the scope in writing, including where the pump will discharge, and keep the paperwork in case you apply to the programme, since funding is first come, first served.

No. Barrie's Disconnect to Protect programme offers a grant to disconnect downspouts from the sanitary sewer, but downspouts directed onto driveways do not qualify.
