Water damage emergencies can hit at any moment – even when you’re not at home. Flooding and leaks don’t wait for the most convenient time to appear; often, property owners find that these incidents occur during extended periods away, especially during the winter when vacations are popular and cold, stormy weather is a frequent occurrence. If your property has a flood or water damage when you’re away, you need to facilitate flooded basement water removal and mold removal in Toronto immediately. At Canada’s Restoration Services, our IICRC-certified experts specialize in everything from water damage cleanup and mold inspections to restoration.
Here’s what you need to do about water damage when you’re away.
Secure a Housesitter
Prior to leaving for vacation or a trip of any sort, elect someone you trust who will be available during your period of absence to check in on your property regularly. An appointed property sitter will not only help with any potential insurance claims, but they will also have boots on the ground to facilitate a response to water damage remediation, because when it comes to flooded basement water removal, time is of the essence.
Flood Detection Systems
If you have a modern alarm system, you can install features that include flood detection systems. While this won’t stop water damage in its entirety, it can effectively stop main water lines and alert alarm systems, you (even if you’re away), and any emergency contacts you have on file. Even with your main water line shut off, any existing water damage or flooding will still need to be addressed urgently by a professional team like the specialists at Canada’s Restoration Services for water removal and a subsequent mold inspection in Toronto.
Call Water Damage Cleanup & Mold Removal Experts
Water damage won’t wait for your return to start compromising essential building materials and your indoor air quality with the onset of mold. In fact, after exposure to flood water, leaks, or even just increased humidity levels, mold will start to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours, provided you don’t unknowingly already have mold on your property.
If your house sitter or alarm company alerts you to flooding on your property while you’re out of town, contact emergency water damage services. Our team will show up on-site urgently and assess the situation to determine the most effective next steps.
- Once the plan is approved, we will begin with emergency flooded basement water removal or water extraction. During this stage, our objective is to stop water from flowing into your property and remove any standing water.
- After all the water is removed from your property, Canada’s Restoration Services will use industrial dryers and dehumidifiers to remove lingering moisture.
- Then, to ensure that moisture has not triggered any secondary damage, our experts can inform you about the benefits of a mold inspection in Toronto and conduct one, should you approve.
- If an infestation is found, we can complete comprehensive, IICRC-certified mold removal services. This will refresh your air quality and allow us to proceed with the restoration of damaged building materials like electrical work, flooring, drywall, etc.
