Backwater Valve Maintenance - Top Tips for Reducing Flood Risk at the Lot Level

For the past two years, the Intact Centre has worked closely with Seneca College and Fleming College to develop the Home Flood Risk Assessment Training Course. This course will empower students to help owners of detached, semi-detached and townhome style homes to identify sources of basement flood risk, and to identify opportunities to reduce those risks through what are often simple and cost-effective solutions. Students also receive flood-risk assessment software that will enable them to produce customized home flood assessment reports. The course is offered over 14 weeks (7:00 – 10:00 pm), beginning September 20, 2018, Newnham Campus, Seneca College, North York (Toronto). The course is of value to anyone who wishes to understand – and support the correction of deficiencies associated with – the growing phenomenon of residential basement flooding. At a minimum, the course addresses material that is critical to the professional understanding of those who work in the following fields:  Home Inspectors  Insurance Brokers/Adjusters  Municipal Engineers/Planners  Real Estate Brokers/Agents  Landscape Professionals  Home Construction and Renovation Professionals To learn more and register, visit www.flemingcollege.ca/hfrat
