Water damage in Vaughan: what is different here

  • The Humber River and its branches run through Woodbridge and Kleinburg, and the upper Don through Maple and Concord. Older parts of Woodbridge lie in the Humber floodplain.

  • Large finished basements with home theatres, second kitchens and hardwood mean a sump failure or backup causes an expensive loss.

  • Rapid high-rise growth around the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre adds multi-unit water losses.

Floodplains and who regulates them

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority regulates the Humber and Don floodplains in Vaughan. Conservation authorities publish floodplain mapping and issue flood watches and warnings, which are worth following during spring melt and summer storms. Ontario is merging its 36 conservation authorities into nine regional bodies, expected to take effect on 1 February 2027, so the name of the body responsible will change.

Housing here: what the census shows

The 2021 Census counted 323,103 people and 103,915 occupied homes in Vaughan.

81% are single-detached, semi-detached or row houses, where the owner is responsible for the foundation, the drains and the sewer lateral. 13% are apartments in buildings of five or more storeys, and a further 6% are in low-rise buildings or duplexes. There, a leak commonly reaches the units below and involves the landlord or condominium corporation.

14% of households rent, which means two sets of insurance on many losses: the owner's for the building and the tenant's for belongings.
