Fall in the GTA: Why Homes Start Leaking — And How SealCo’s Emergency Waterproofing Services Can Help
As fall weather sets in across Toronto and the GTA, homeowners face seasonal leaks from rainstorms, clogged gutters, and foundation cracks. Left untreated, water damage can cause thousands in repairs. SealCo Construction Group offers emergency waterproofing and leak repair services to keep your home dry and protected.
Fall in Toronto and the GTA means colourful leaves, cooler nights — and unfortunately, leaky homes. Heavy rainfall, clogged eavestroughs, and the first freeze-thaw cycles of the season put extra stress on roofs, foundations, and basements.
If you notice water stains, musty smells, or damp walls, don’t wait. These small warning signs can quickly turn into major water damage. That’s where SealCo Construction Group comes in: we specialize in emergency waterproofing and leak repair across the GTA and Durham Region.
Why Leaks Get Worse in the Fall
1. Heavy Rain & Storms
September and October often bring some of the heaviest rainfall of the year in the GTA. If your home’s foundation or roof is vulnerable, leaks will show up fast.
2. Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Evening temperatures drop quickly in fall. Water seeps into small cracks during the day, freezes overnight, and expands — making cracks larger and leaks worse.
3. Clogged Gutters & Downspouts
Falling leaves clog eavestroughs, causing water to back up against siding and foundations, which leads to seepage into basements.
4. Roof Wear & Tear
Older shingles and flashing often fail just before winter, allowing leaks that show up as stains on ceilings or attic dampness.
The Cost of Ignoring Fall Leaks
- Mold growth within 24–48 hours.
- Foundation damage from spreading cracks.
- Structural issues that cost thousands to repair later.
- Lower resale value if leaks aren’t addressed before selling.
