What Should I Watch Out For When The Snow Is Melting?

Every season brings its own concerns and hazards to a home. After bearing the harsh winter of temperatures significantly rising and dropping, home owners now must worry about the melting snow. Water damage is a major concern throughout the winter seasons due to pipes freezing and bursting. It is also an issue during the spring season due to the spring thaw and all the snow melting. Although you can never completely eliminate the chances of damages from happening, there are many steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk.

If you do notice any signs of water damage, it's important to take action right away. The sooner you address the issue, the less damage will be done. Call a professional restoration company like Canada's Restoration Services to help get your home back to normal.

Does Home Insurance Cover a Flooded Basement?

Most homeowners assume that their home insurance policy would provide adequate coverage for any flooding or water damage. Basement flooding due to a broken appliance, freezing pipe burst, and leaking water heater is generally covered under a policy. However, it helps to know that there are a few types of home flooding that are not included in a typical home insurance policy. Similarly, although homeowner’s insurance plans offer coverage for basement flooding in some circumstances, it mostly depends on the source of the damage.

How Long Does it Take to Repair and Restore My Home After Water Damage?

Flooding can be one of the biggest disasters that can fall on a homeowner, often causing extensive damage. In such a situation, most homeowners wonder how long it would take to fix and repair things. The experienced experts dealing with water damage restoration can tell you that there is no way to provide a general estimate because everyone’s situation is different. They can, however, assess your place based on the following:

Source of the water
The extent or scope of damage
The amount of work required to restore your house

We had contacted CRS to provide a second opinion about concerns with odor/mold in our basement, and garage, after a flood. The wet non restorable items were stored in our garage and we were concerned that we would have another area to worry about mold. We were unhappy with our current restoration company, and Jorge came to assess our situation. He provided some insight on questions to ask, and reassurance about what had been done to industry standard.

He appears hands on as a project manager and responsive to questions/concerns. If we could have chosen our own restoration company, based on Jorge's prompt response to our inquiry and site visit, CRS would have been a great option.

We needed to have some mould remediation work done at the church and used the services offered by Canada Restoration Services.

Initially, I met with Roberto Lamas, Quebec’s Regional Director, to obtain an estimate for the work to be done. He was very professional, providing detailed information, and clearly answered many of my questions. He also had a very pleasant manner about him.

The work crew (Maggie and Nick) started work on Oct. 15, 2012. They also were very pleasant and knowledgeable. They worked well together. Both Maggie and Nick showed great interest in their job and demonstrated an ability to be decisive and to answer and explain the methods used. The work was completed on time.

They were a very nice group of young people to carry out the needed work.

I booked my inspection with a CSR and the next day Robbie came out assessed the situation and told me he would have a quote out to me later on that day. My quote came when he said and it was reasonable so I went ahead with the project. CRS came to my house on time cleaned up the water,dried the area and fixed all the damages.

They did a remarkable job, it looks like we never had any water damage at all.

Great job CRS I will be recommeding you to everyone

Due to the recent warmer weather, melting snow and water was able to enter my basement from some foundational cracks. I was recommended Canadas Restoration services and they did a great job. They were able to quickly dry out the floors and minimize the damage to my basement (after I just installed new floor). Glad for their help because they found some mold behind my baseboard and took care of that too. Highly recommend.

On discovering what I thought was mould in a basement storage area, I contacted Canada's Restoration Services. The very next morning, a Project Manager, Aris, came to inspect the area. I was relieved to be told that the black area was actually some type of paint rather than mould.

I appreciated Aris' integrity and his respectful attitude (as I did feel rather foolish). He took the time to explain how a mould situation would actually look and smell. When looking for a contractor, trust is crucial.

A proper assessment, honest communication with the client and expertise in completing the job is paramount. Thank you!

Sandra D in GTA

Fasst, efficient and professional! Will definitely use again if I need emeregency water services again.

D Lowitski

High praise to the team that did water damage clean-up at our home --- Prakeet for the initial evaluation, estimate and follow-up; Cameron and Serge for the actual clean-up and de-contamination work. They took great care to move furniture, books and bookcases and repositioned all of this after the work. Polite, friendly, efficient. We highly recommend the team.

Norma and Joseph

I called had CRS as my bathtub had overflowed in my upstairs bathroom. I spoke with a nice lady named Jasmine and she scheduled a free estimate for the same day!! A technician Aris came to my home gave me a very reasonable price and I asked how fast could the job get done?

He said today talk about great service, CRS did everything to dry out my bathroom properly and as quickly as possible. Aris was very friendly and talked to me about everything to be done and answered all my questions and concerns.

I would highly recommend CRS to anyone who has a Water Damage they are fast friendly and do amazing work.

Prompt service - kept us up to date on the steps - billed to the estimate I| approved discussed the work with the adjuster - they left our home cleaner than before they started

Honest, Professional Company! I used them when my basement flooded from a sewer backup. Team was onsite within and hour and had the water cleared away with a couple hours. They set up equipment and cleaned everything with an antimicrobial.

Great Job, will definitely use again in the future if needed (fingers crossed, hopefully not!)

From the first time CRS came by to do an estimate to the time the actual job was completed, CRS was AMAZING! So professional,extremely friendly and felt comfortable with all the work being done and most importantly we feel safe in our home. They were also so patient while waiting for the insurance claim to go through. We would hire them again and trust them with any recommendations or advice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Brock

Our washing machine water line broke and flooded our basement. We called our insurance company and they were to send there water company to help. After waiting an hour we still haven't received a call. We called Canada's restoration and Caleb and his crew came out within the hour and started the cleanup. They were able to save some valuable items of ours.

Thank you for your quick response

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!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to commend one of your GTA staff members- Alissa. As a mother with two young children in the house I was quite worried when I found black mould underneath my basement carpet.

I spoke with Alissa who put my mind at ease and was very helpful in explaining the next steps to me. I was worried about being taken advantage of as I am NOT a handyperson I don't do this very often, but I wanted to let you know that you have an exceptional employee and your company has exceeded my expectations.

I will definitely use your services in the future (although I am hoping not to have to!) and I will recommend your company to my neighbours and friends.

Thanks again

Sarah Pedersen

During flood devastation Marat and his highly professional team came as saviours and carried out the emergency work efficiently and on time. In such difficult times Canadian Restoration services teams assurance and advice was greatly appreciated. Shall always be thankful

Suresh Kalidoss

After all the snow we had this year I had some water damage in my basement from the melting snow . I looked up CRS scheduled an inspection with a friendly girl named Alissa. She set up an inspection for me the next day with Alex.

Alex provided me with an free estimate that evening. The next day I called and booked the job and the crew showed up 2 days after my inspection and promptly had my basement clean and clear of any sitting water they were very tidy and respected my home and belongings.

I tell all my friends about CRS and would highly recommend them to anyone who has a Water Damage.

Thank you CRS you made my Water Damage a pleasant experience.

Ron

Unfortunately I had a burst pipe in my home. And to make it worse, it happened on the weekend. I called Canada's Restoration Services in right away. They were on site in 1 Hour and started extracting the water right away. Gabriel and his Team did a fantastic Job and even dealt with the Insurance for me! Such a relief.

They were able to salvage most of the basement due to their timely response.

Well Done Team!

Julia N.

I had a great experience with CRS, our downstairs had flooded and needed quick attention. The CS agent Jasmine was very prompt and friendly and she had a team out within 1.5 hours of my call, The team showed up on time and with all the proper equipment to get the water out as fast as they could and they had completed cleaning up my basement in 2 hours and left drying equipment to take out the moister.

The next day I had a PM out to scope the work that had been done and to check for any further damage. Jasmine contacted me to see how everything went and if I had any more questions or concerns. CRS are amazing and set my mind at ease thinking I had a disaster on my hands but they were so quick and efficient and everything ran smoothly with no issues.

CRS saved the day and my home of a potential huge Water Damage that might have resulted in mold. CRS will be highly recommend to all my family and friends!!

Len

We sustained water damage in our basement. the insurance company called for someone to come over but they weren't able to come for hours. We called Canadas Restoration and Caleb was there within the hour, and his team within 2 hours. they did a great job to remove carpet and drywall. did the rebuild quickly.

We would recommend.

Thank you.

Sue

Jorge called me an hour before coming over to make sure I was still available. When he arrived he was very friendly and informative. I was mid renovation and he told me exactly what I needed to do so I could get the job done. He told me he didn't want to take my money as it looked like I had it under control. Very friendly and excellent service! Would highly recommend him.

Thomas Karall

I hired Canada restoration services after a flood in our basement from the storm. Alex was amazing from the start he contacted me within a few min. The team showed up and were very efficient, they explained everything they were doing and what needed to be done once the water was removed including the removal of drywall and all affected furniture.

I highly recommend them!

Our insurance company worked directly with them ! It was so much less stressful!

A Dul

We dealt with two disasters over the past year.

In 2012 we found mold throughout 80% of our house and in 2013 we had a basement flood with a water level of 15 inches.

In both cases we contacted Canada Restoration Services.

Roberto, Maggie and their crew were outstanding and prompt. They explained every stage of the process and answered all our questions with professionalism and courtesy.

They did an excellent job in making sure that the house was clean after they were done.

They helped to reduce our stress levels considerably and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone!!

Melanie & David Arbuckle
