Thermal Imaging

In all situations, identifying the source and correcting the issue is crucial and will prevent further damage. We use Thermal Imaging to correctly identify what the source may be. Burst pipes, sewage backups, sump pump failure, roof leaks, window leaks and foundation leaks. Some of these are covered under most insurance policies, so if a claim is submitted, we will work directly with your adjuster.

What do we do when we arrive?

After introducing ourselves, the project manager will ask to be led to the affected areas. We will then provide you with the scope of work after we finish a thorough inspection using the most advanced available tools such as thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and more instruments that help identify the level of humidity, moisture and wet organic materials.

If the water is classified as category one (clean water), we will attempt to dry in place as much as we can with minimal removals to your property. This saves money on rebuild costs and speeds up the process.

Category two or three (contaminated water) has different protocols we must follow, and involves using different kinds of equipment since there may be a higher risk of contaminated water.

We provide the full one-stop shop service from the initial emergency to the final rebuild. Our technicians and team leaders are all experienced in both Mold and Asbestos, so if they are present once we are on site and working, we will know what to do, how to do it, so we will not cause any cross contamination.

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

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!

Finding Mold in our home was scary. I went online and found Canada's Restoration Services. They arrived the next day and conducted a free mold inspection.

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.

Lisa B.

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.

Gianluca Addante

We were very happy with the services we received from Canada Restoration Services from the time we met with the salesman to the workers and the finance department. Every question or concern we had was addressed quickly, professionally and accurately. Our home was treated with respect and kept clean throughout the process. Start and end dates were right on and our neighbors had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. We would absolutely recommend them. All the best to the team!"
