Clay figures come from a regional 1:100k soil map, not a property soil test. 0% means nearby mapped units are not classified as clay-dominated in that survey — not that your lot has no clay.

Why this score

The index weighs median water table 16 ft below surface (68 nearby wells, WSA); 10% clay-dominated soil, regional survey (AAFC); 2% of homes built 2011-2021; 46% owner-occupied. Grosvenor Park scores 40 of 100.

Your checklist before buying or renovating

  • Ask the seller directly whether the home has ever had a sump-pump activation or basement water event.
  • Confirm a working sump pump is present and test it, plus check for a battery or water-powered backup.
  • During inspection, ask specifically about the water table and any signs of efflorescence or past moisture on basement walls.
  • Check whether the home-insurance quote includes overland water / sewer-backup coverage, and at what premium.
  • Nearby water-well records show a median water table around 16 ft below surface — ask your inspector to check for signs of hydrostatic pressure on basement walls.
