Here are the steps to successful water damage restoration in Toronto.

Step 1: Know the Signs

While sometimes water damage is an evident leak or sewage back up in the basement, other times it’s hidden in the walls, floors, attic, or ceiling, making it difficult to identify. Recognize peeling paint, excess humidity, and mold are all indicators of water damage somewhere in your home.

Step 2: React Appropriately

The right reaction will determine the success or failure of your flooded basement cleanup or water damage restoration efforts. Instead of trying to remove and restore water damage yourself, choose an IICRC restoration company in Toronto with good reviews. A good reaction is a fast reaction. The sooner you contact a trusted restoration company, the sooner water damage and flooded basement cleanup can begin.

Step 3: Identify & Contain

In most cases, the source of water damage is obvious. However, on occasion, the origin is less easy to track down. For water damage to be stopped effectively, the source must be identified and the flow of water must be stopped. Using industry expertise and water damage detection equipment we will assess the contaminated materials and stop the source of the leak.

Step 4: Salvage Belongings

As belongings and building materials become contaminated and water logged, we will begin to pump out the water and sort through materials in the areas into two categories - salvageable and non salvageable. Any items that cannot be restored will be appropriately disposed of, while those that are saved will be tested for contamination. Contamination testing is especially important during sewage backup cleanup and flooded basement cleanup, where the water likely carries virus, disease, and bacteria. If contaminated, we will begin sanitization.

Step 5: Restore Your Space

We use only the most advanced and effective professional equipment for water damage restoration in Toronto. Water is collected, pumped, and removed from the premises. Powerful dehumidifiers are strategically placed to provide high-velocity air movement throughout the affected area. Once the premise is completely dry, and all infected materials are removed, the restoration process will begin. We will also conduct mold inspections to ensure that there is no need for mold removal in Toronto due to the water leak, flood, or backup.

Our sole objective will now be to restore the water-damaged area to its original condition, guaranteeing that you, the customer, are completely satisfied with our work!

I needed asbestos removed from my heating pipes and furnace. I called Canada's Restoration Services after reading their reviews online. Their price was the lowest by far. They were very professional and honest from the beginning. Jean Michel and his crew were terrific. I would highly recommend this company.

Elaine G.

We had a flood in our basement. I chose CRS by chance online. The manager we dealt with Paul was extremely helpful and compassionate. His crew were polite, clean and courteous. They did their job with no disruption to us and on our schedule. Paul was particularly helpful in that a lot of the damaged items were family heirlooms and needed special attention.I would recommend CRS, particularly Paul, to anyone. Thank you!

After the disaster floods that happened in Montreal, I quickly called Canada's Restoration Services. I have used them before and loved how professional they were.

Thank you Canada's Restoration Services.

I had to get an asbestos test conducted in my attic before I sold my house. I called Canada's Restoration Services after reading their reviews online. I made the right decision, as they were very professional and honest from the beginning. I would recommend this company to my friends & family.

We first used Canada’s Restoration Services (CRS) two years ago when we discovered a mold issue under our kitchen sink. I chose CRS for that job because of their many excellent reviews and I wanted a company experienced with mold. The spores are dangerous when released into the air, and we have a family of asthmatics. The mold had spread under the floor and down to the basement but the foreman, Jon Tarves and his team at CRS did a great job!

Jetta Claws

For many years I had a persistent leak in my home. I've had many companies take a look at the problem but none were able to target the source of the leak successfully. Canada's Restoration Services delivered their promises demonstrating their ability to identify my needs as a customer and prioritize my own health as well as my family's. Definitely recommend to anyone. They also provided exceptional customer service.
