WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This Burst Pipe illustration is one of many scenarios in which your claim can be denied.
Scenario: The property owner sees water damage on the drywall and is unaware of the hidden pipe, assuming a foundation crack is the fault of the flood. Calls insurance first without consulting with a water damage professional and provides inaccurate information about the cause of the flood.
The property owner calls Flood Tech for a FREE inspection before calling the insurance company. Our Thermal Imaging assessment reveals a hidden faulty burst pipe in the wall, which was the actual cause of the flood; Flood Tech provides an Infrared Damage Source/Incident Report.
Common Misconceptions
When dealing with a flood disaster, it uproots you from your normal life. It causes severe damage, forcing you to halt business operations for days. It leaves you temporarily homeless and worse of all, you lose invaluable content that isn’t always replaceable. The number one emergency damage service request in Toronto and GTA is typically related to water damage usually originating from a flooded basement. From a small isolated leak to a fully flooded basement, water damage is one of the most destructive forces any home or business owner can face. When it comes to any form of water damage (big or small) the actual impact is always much larger than the human eye can see. From water pockets within the infrastructure of your walls to flooded sub-floors and even fully soaked insulation within the walls, the damage caused by floodwater often spreads very quickly. Within 24 hours, mould starts to generate and grow in places you can’t even see, quickly becoming a health hazard to you and your loved ones. It also starts deteriorating the integrity of the infrastructure of your property attacking any water-prone materials (drywall, insulation, wood, fabrics, etc). Don’t make the mistake of trying to mitigate the problem yourself. You need the water extraction services of a trained professional to properly identify the affected areas and help you get past the devastation of a flood.
The first 24 – 48 hours after any flood are the most crucial. Hence, the first thing you need during a water damage restoration service is a prompt response. Mould starts growing and spreading, posing serious health risks to your family members. Whether it is a single-family residence, a condominium, or a commercial complex, our team is ready 24×7 to take care of the most challenging water damage scenarios. Through cutting-edge technology and best practices, we can contain, reverse and remediate water damage in the most efficient way possible. This will result in less prolonged damage to the property and lowered repair costs overall.
As the water settles and the damage is done, the race against time begins. From permanent staining, hazardous odours, damaged content to mould, asbestos, and other dangerous contaminants, the risks are everywhere.
STEP 1 – Identify and remediate the problem in a timely manner. The first step is to reduce immediate risks such as shock or dangerous bacteria. A licensed professional should neutralize electrical and gas threats, followed by locating the source of the water and stopping it from causing any further damage.
STEP 2 – Extract the water from the property. Using large air movers, HEPA filters and other drying devices, the risk of mould and other contaminations is quickly neutralized. Proper air circulation and drying of the entire property (including inside the infrastructure of the building) is crucial. Simultaneously, content is packed out and sent off to be restored or replaced. Non-damaged content is taken into storage and all damaged unrecoverable building components are carefully removed.
STEP 3 – Restoration of damaged areas in the property. Once the property is fully dried, the restoration process begins. This is the best time to consider any upgrades or changes you may need to the property. This can be planned out and discussed before the building is restored and the walls are closed up. Upgrades and other remodelling projects can also be discussed to help reduce costs in the future should you wish to repurpose the space to a more suitable design for your changing lifestyle.
STEP 4 – Inspection and consultation for preventative measures. Follow-up inspections are done to ensure the job was completed to your satisfaction. A good restoration specialist will advise you of preventative measures that can be taken to prevent future flooding, including basement waterproofing, sump pump installation, sewer backup valves and many other methods that can be utilized to prevent the flood disaster from reoccurring.

Emergency Water Damage Services are provided to properties from moderate to severe catastrophic flooding conditions via two types of damages being dealt with.
The formal definition of emergency defines it as a scenario that poses immediate risks to an individual’s health, life, property, or environment. For example, when dealing with a flood in a basement or water damage to the property, the immediate response time must be within hours, not days. Due to the fast rate of contamination that water causes to personal articles, it is crucial to stop, extract and remove all moist / water-affected items and building components. The additional dangers of gas, electrical problems, and other hazmat factors can compromise health and safety. When water comes in contact with any of these, it significantly increases the risk factors, making it crucial to handle the affected areas only by a certified professional water damage technician.
If you are facing a condo or flooded basement emergency, contact Flood Tech, a 24-hour water damage emergency company. You need a company that understands water damage and handle hazardous materials contaminations. Choosing the right company is crucial in helping you avoid long-term damage and health risks. Our teams of trained water damage Toronto GTA specialists are always available within 60 minutes to be on-site and are ready to assist.
