Yes, the Basement Flooding Protection Program (BFPP) offers a subsidy of up to $2,000 for a sump pump with overflow and floor drain disconnection, or up to $3,500 for a combined backwater valve and sump pump system.

In 2026, adding a professional-grade battery backup system typically increases the total project cost by $900 to $1,600, depending on the battery's runtime capacity.

To qualify for the $2,000 subsidy, the work must be performed by a City-licensed plumber, a permit must be obtained, and the installation must pass a final City inspection.
