Know the water before you buy the basement.

Neighbourhood-level reporting: water-table and soil data are aggregated from regional public datasets near each area centroid — not a specific address. That is the honest limit of the public data, and what keeps the tool useful.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the groundwater or flood risk for my Saskatoon neighbourhood?

Type your neighbourhood name into the search box on this page, or browse the ranked list of all 66 Saskatoon neighbourhoods. You'll get a plain-language groundwater and sump-pump risk report with a 0–100 index, real water-table and soil data, City planning figures, and a buyer/renovator checklist.

Which Saskatoon neighbourhoods have the highest basement-flooding risk?

Risk is highest where the water table is shallow (from nearby WSA water-well records), clay-dominated soils are common (AAFC detailed soil survey), homes are recent builds on clay soils, and where the City of Saskatoon has publicly named groundwater concerns. The ranked list on this page shows every neighbourhood ordered from highest to lowest risk.

Is this an address-level flood report?

No. Groundwater and sump-pump risk is reported at the neighbourhood level because true parcel-level groundwater data is not published in any open dataset. The report tells you the pattern for your area and is not a substitute for a professional home or geotechnical inspection.

Where does the data come from?

Every figure comes from public datasets: WSA water-well driller reports (depth to water), the AAFC Saskatchewan Detailed Soil Survey (clay texture), City of Saskatoon Neighbourhood Profiles (housing and demographics), and public planning statements — all linked in each report. The dataset is refreshed on a schedule and shows a visible last-refreshed date.

Is the report free?

Yes. Every neighbourhood report on this site is free to view, with all sources cited.

Are the risk scores exact measurements?

No. The 0–100 index is an estimate calculated from aggregated public data — nearby water-well depths, regional soil maps, City housing statistics, and public groundwater statements — weighted into a single neighbourhood-level score. It is not a property survey and should not be treated as a true measured value for any specific lot.
