Why Toronto Homes Need Permeable Systems
Traditional impermeable driveways and walkways create moisture management problems that threaten your structure and lower level.
The Traditional Surface Problem
Complete Surface Runoff
Solid concrete and asphalt direct ALL rainfall toward your home's foundation, overwhelming drainage systems.
Ice Formation
Impermeable surfaces create ice dams and contribute to dangerous winter conditions around your home.
Foundation Pressure
Moisture accumulation increases hydrostatic pressure against lower-level walls, causing leaks and damage.
Environmental Impact
Non-permeable surfaces contribute to urban flooding and strain Toronto's storm water infrastructure.
Permeable Surface Solution
90% Runoff Reduction
Water filters through pavers into ground, dramatically reducing surface runoff.
10\" Rainfall Capacity
Handles extreme weather events far beyond Toronto's heaviest storms.
Foundation Protection
Reduces hydrostatic pressure and prevents lower level flooding.
Winter Performance
Reduces ice formation and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete.
Foundation Fact: Permeable surfaces can reduce building moisture pressure by up to 85% compared to traditional solid materials.
