Spring Thaw & Flooding: Protect Your Property with Thomas Contracting




As winter ends and snow melts in the Haliburton Highlands, homeowners face excess water,

washouts, and flooding. Rapid temperature changes, heavy rain, and frozen ground can

cause poor drainage, driveway erosion, and foundation damage.


At Thomas Contracting, we specialize in spring site work, grading, and water management to keep your property safe and sound.


How Spring Thaw Can Impact Your Property

Driveway Washouts & Erosion: Gravel and dirt driveways often suffer from deep ruts,

uneven surfaces, and water pooling.

Foundation & Basement Flooding: Poor drainage around your home can lead to

water seeping into your foundation.

Septic System Overload: Melting snow combined with spring rains can saturate the

ground, putting added strain on septic systems.

Standing Water & Drainage Issues: Improper grading or clogged culverts can create

flooding hazards on your property.


Our Solutions for Spring Water Management


Driveway & Roadway Repair

Thomas Contracting provides expert grading and resurfacing services to repair washed-out

driveways and private roads. By adding high-quality aggregates and ensuring proper

drainage, we restore safe, level surfaces. We also install and maintain culverts to direct water

away from driveways and roadways.


Property Drainage & Grading

Our team corrects low spots and improper slopes that cause water to collect around your

home. We also design and install drainage ditches and swales to safely channel water away

from structures, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion.


Septic System Maintenance

Excess water can overload septic systems, leading to backups and inefficiencies. We provide

professional septic pumping and inspections to ensure your system is functioning properly.

For homeowners seeking environmentally friendly wastewater treatment, we also install

advanced Waterloo Biofilter systems.


Emergency Response for Severe Washouts

If your driveway has collapsed, your basement is flooding, or excess water is threatening your foundation, we offer emergency grading, repair, and drainage solutions.
