Emergency Water Extraction

The first 24 to 48 hours decide whether wet materials dry and are saved, or stay wet and have to be replaced. Emergency extraction usually happens within hours of your call.

We stop the source where we can, pump out standing water and remove soaked carpet, underpad and materials that cannot be saved.

  • Burst and frozen pipes
  • Appliance and water heater leaks
  • Standing water removal
  • Wet carpet and flooring removal

Flooded Basements & Sewer Backups

Basements take most of the water in a GTA home: heavy rain, a failed sump pump, a backed-up floor drain or a cracked foundation.

Sewer backups are cleaned with protective equipment and disinfection, because that water carries contamination. Sewage losses take more work than clean-water leaks and cost more to clean up.

  • Sewer and drain backups
  • Sump pump failures
  • Disinfection and odour control

Structural Drying & Moisture Mapping

Boards can feel dry on the outside while still holding water inside, so we measure. Moisture readings map where the water went, guide the drying and become part of your insurance documentation.

Drying commonly takes three to seven days of monitored equipment time. Concrete, masonry and humid weather take longer.

  • Daily drying logs

Repairs & Rebuild

Rebuilding starts once the readings confirm the structure is dry - closing up a wet wall traps moisture behind new finishes.

As a general contractor we rebuild what the water took with the same team: drywall, insulation, flooring, trim, cabinets and paint. You do not have to find a second contractor.

  • Drywall and insulation
  • Flooring
  • Trim, doors and cabinets
  • Painting and finishes

Cost & insurance

What does it cost?

Emergency mitigation and drying typically run between $2,500 and $15,000. Most finished-basement losses land between $7,500 and $15,000, and sewage backups cost more. Reconstruction is quoted separately once drying is confirmed.

These are typical ranges, not a quote. Sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, is commonly covered by homeowners' insurance minus your deductible; long-term leaks generally are not. We give your insurer moisture logs and photos so the claim shows the full scope.

Emergency mitigation and drying typically run between $2,500 and $15,000, with most finished-basement losses between $7,500 and $15,000 and sewage backups higher. Reconstruction is quoted separately once drying is confirmed.

Does homeowners' insurance cover a burst pipe?

Sudden and accidental bursts are commonly covered, minus your deductible. Long-term leaks generally are not. Our moisture logs and photos help your insurer see the full scope.

How long does drying take?

Commonly three to seven days of monitored equipment time. Concrete, masonry and humid weather extend drying.

When can repairs start after water damage?

Once moisture readings confirm the structure is dry. Starting the rebuild over moisture traps it behind new finishes and leads to mould.
