Why Flood Damage Restoration is Crucial
It’s vital that flood water not sit for long periods of time. The longer it takes for flood damage restoration, the more likely bacteria will infiltrate air quality. Extended water damage that goes unrestored with reliable flood cleanup in Toronto will likely result in outbreaks requiring high-level mold removal in Toronto. Fast and effective basement flood cleanup not only preserves the structure but also the property value by minimizing the lasting consequences of flood water.

Step 1: Assess the Source of Water
The first step of successful flood damage cleanup and restoration is identifying the source of flood water and assessing its potential risk. It isn’t until the source of the flooding is addressed and blocked off that technicians can proceed with the restoration.
Indoor flood water is divided into 3 main categories that determine the safety levels of interacting with the water. Water coming from drains, toilets, showers, or the basement is likely the result of sewage backup. Basement flood cleanup usually means water contaminated with bacteria like E Coli, which means that it should only be managed by a prepared and trained professional.
Step 2: Flood Water Removal
Before the true scope of damage can be assessed, flood restoration teams will remove water via pumps and other specialized equipment designed to get the contaminated water out fast and efficiently.
Step 3: Flood Damage Restoration
After the affected area has been drained and cleared, restoration of damaged materials can begin. Technicians will sort through items in the flood zone and sort them into two categories: salvageable and non-salvageable. Once contaminated drywall, wood, carpets, and other materials have been replaced and salvaged, cleaned up, and checked over by a flood damage specialist, your property will be suitable to reoccupy.
