Effective September 22, 2026
Acceptance of these terms
By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or submit information through it. These terms govern website use and online enquiries. A project proposal, estimate or contract may contain additional terms that apply to actual work and will control where it directly conflicts with these website terms.
Website information
The site provides general information about basement waterproofing, drainage, leak repair, sump systems, flood-prevention planning and Oakville or Halton requirements. Information is prepared for a general audience and may not reflect the construction, drainage, access, history or legal requirements of a particular property.
No remote diagnosis
A page, message, photograph, video or telephone discussion cannot confirm the complete source of water, buried connections, structural condition, sewer condition, environmental conditions or every applicable requirement. Water can travel behind finishes or along concealed routes. An on-site assessment and, where appropriate, input from another qualified discipline may be required.
Safety and emergencies
The website is not an emergency dispatch system. Do not enter standing water near electrical equipment, touch wet wiring, operate unsafe equipment or contact potentially contaminated backup water. Contact emergency, electrical, plumbing, environmental or other appropriate assistance when the situation requires it. Online response timing is not guaranteed.
Assessment requests
Submitting the form asks for contact about the stated project. It does not create an appointment, confirm availability, promise a particular response time or require either party to proceed. Provide accurate contact and property information and update material details that change. Requests can be declined when the location, scope, timing, access or safety conditions are not suitable.
Estimates and proposals
Any estimate or proposal should be read as a complete document. Price can depend on scope, quantities, foundation depth, access, finishes, buried services, drainage destinations, permits, inspections, disposal and restoration. Unless the document expressly says otherwise, a price does not include concealed or changed conditions beyond the stated assumptions.
Property-specific conditions
Soil, weather, groundwater, grading, drainage, foundation construction, previous work and neighbouring conditions can affect performance. No website statement promises that one method fits every property or that a basement can never experience water. The intended water route, limits, maintenance and restoration should be identified in the written project scope.
Structural and other professional boundaries
Stopping water through a foundation crack is not the same as certifying structural stability. Waterproofing information is not structural engineering, legal, insurance, environmental, electrical or tax advice. Warning signs outside the proposed waterproofing scope should be directed to the appropriate qualified person.
Permits and official information
Permit, subsidy and municipal information can change. The Town of Oakville, Halton Region and other authorities determine their own requirements, interpretations, eligibility and approvals. Verify current official information for the address and scope before relying on it. A link or summary on this website does not guarantee a permit, inspection result or subsidy.
Subsidies
Published program maximums are not promises of payment. Eligibility can depend on ownership, location, municipal wastewater connection, pre-existing drainage, approved work, assessment evidence, permits, final inspection, paid itemized invoices, deadlines and program availability. The applicant remains responsible for confirming and completing the official process.
Website availability
The site may be unavailable, delayed, inaccurate or incomplete because of maintenance, software, network, hosting, security or other issues. Features may be changed or removed. Do not rely on the site as the only record of an enquiry, deadline, permit or project instruction.
Acceptable use
Do not interfere with site operation, bypass security, submit malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, scrape the site in a way that impairs availability, misrepresent your identity, upload unlawful material or use contact details for unsolicited communications. Reasonable technical measures may be used to restrict harmful traffic.
Intellectual property
Website text, layout, branding, photographs, graphics and code are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view pages and keep a personal copy for planning your own property. You may not republish, sell, remove ownership notices, create confusingly similar branding or use substantial content commercially without permission.
External links
Links are provided for convenience and context. The linked organization controls its own content, availability, privacy and terms. A link does not endorse every statement, product or activity on that website. Verify that you are using the current official page before submitting records or making a payment.
User submissions
You confirm that information and files you submit are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have authority to share them. Do not submit content that is unlawful, malicious, defamatory, infringing or unrelated. Submission does not transfer ownership, but you permit use of the information to review and respond to the request.
Privacy
Personal information is handled under the Privacy Policy. Do not submit unnecessary sensitive records in the initial form. Email and ordinary web forms have inherent security limits. Use an agreed secure channel when sensitive project records are required.
Maintenance information
General maintenance guidance does not replace manufacturer instructions, an installed-system manual or a safe inspection. Do not remove energized equipment, enter a confined area or handle wastewater to follow a website checklist. Installed pumps, batteries, alarms and valves should be maintained according to their documentation and the property conditions.
Photographs and measurements
Photographs, dimensions and descriptions submitted online are preliminary information. Perspective, hidden construction and incomplete measurements can affect interpretation. Final quantities and access must be confirmed at the property or through the process stated in the written proposal.
Communications
Website, email and telephone communications may be delayed, filtered or delivered to the wrong address when contact information is inaccurate. Keep a copy of important project records and obtain written confirmation of material scope or price changes. Do not treat a casual message as a permit approval, inspection result or contract amendment.
Entire website terms
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any notices presented with a specific website feature, form the terms for website use. They do not replace the complete written agreement for actual property work.
Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by law, website information is provided without warranties about completeness, availability, fitness for a particular property or a particular outcome. This does not exclude rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded. Specific written commitments for actual work arise only from the applicable signed agreement.
Limitation of website liability
To the extent permitted by law, Oakville Basement Waterproofing is not responsible for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising solely from use of or inability to use the website, reliance on general information, external links or delayed electronic delivery. Nothing in these terms limits liability where limitation is prohibited by law.
Indemnity for misuse
You agree to be responsible for loss or expense caused by your unlawful misuse of the website, malicious submission, infringement of another person’s rights or material violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.
Changes, severability and governing law
These terms may be updated by posting a revised version. Continued use after an update means the current terms apply to later website activity. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and applicable federal laws of Canada, subject to mandatory consumer rights and jurisdiction rules.
Contact
Use the website contact page or public email address for questions about these terms. Include enough information to understand the question, but do not send unnecessary sensitive records.
