Toronto's 24/7 Restoration Company
We are the restoration company Toronto homeowners call when a pipe bursts at 2 AM, a basement floods during a storm, or mold turns up behind a wall. One in-house IICRC certified team handles the emergency response, the cleanup, the rebuild, and your insurance claim.
Toronto's housing stock spans 150+ years, brownstones, Edwardian homes, postwar bungalows, 1970s apartment towers, and glass-curtain-wall condominiums all on the same block. Each building type has completely different water damage vulnerabilities, and the restoration approach that works for one can cause serious harm to another.
Condo water damage is one of Toronto's biggest restoration challenges. When unit 1402 has a dishwasher leak, unit 1302 below it suffers the damage. Condo boards, property management companies, and individual unit owners each have different insurance policies and responsibilities. We navigate all of it, handling water damage restoration from source to finish while keeping every stakeholder informed and documented.
Toronto's aging water infrastructure and combined sewer system contributes to basement flooding during spring thaw and summer storms. The City's basement flooding protection subsidy program exists precisely because this is such a widespread issue in older Toronto neighborhoods. If your basement has flooded, our basement flooding cleanup team handles extraction, drying, and documentation for your insurance claim.
Mold is common in older Toronto homes, especially those with poorly ventilated attics, common in homes with bathroom exhaust fans venting into the attic rather than outside, finished basements with limited airflow, and older brick homes with interior moisture issues. Our mold removal and mold inspection services are available across all Toronto neighborhoods.
Why Toronto's Building Stock Requires Specialized Restoration
Victorian and Edwardian homes (1890s–1930s): Found throughout The Annex, Roncesvalles, Riverdale, and East York. These homes have knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, which absorb moisture differently than drywall, and stone or brick foundations that predate modern waterproofing standards. Restoration technicians who don't understand older construction can cause significant secondary damage. You cannot dry a plaster wall the same way you dry drywall, and we know the difference.
Post-war bungalows (1940s–1960s): Common in Etobicoke, North York, and East York. These often have finished basements added later, single-pane windows, and inadequate drainage for today's rainfall volumes. Basement flooding and mold are frequent calls from this housing type. Deferred maintenance compounds the problem, small cracks in older parging become pathways for water over decades.
Condo towers (1970s–2010s): The aging mechanical systems in 1970s and 80s concrete towers are a common source of water damage, failed pipe insulation, corroded standpipes, and roof membrane failures. Modern glass towers from the 2000s and 2010s face a different set of problems: curtain wall failures, balcony door seal failures, and post-tension slab construction that complicates any penetration work during restoration.

Nearby Service Areas
Plenty of our Toronto calls come from just over the city line, where the postwar subdivisions have the same aging drainage as North York and Scarborough. We handle restoration in Markham out of the same Scarborough base that covers the east end.
“They came within two hours on a Sunday and had the water pumped out and fans running before I'd even thought about calling insurance. Incredibly professional and they knew exactly what they were doing.”

What Happens When You Call
You call (416) 474-6364 and a real person answers, day or night. We ask what happened, tell you what to do while we're en route, and dispatch a certified crew, typically on-site within 45 minutes in the east end and within 1 to 2 hours across the rest of the city. The truck arrives loaded: extraction equipment, air movers, dehumidifiers, thermal imaging, containment materials.
From the first hour we document everything your insurer needs: photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and a written scope of work. We bill most jobs directly to insurance, so in a typical covered claim you pay your deductible and nothing else out of pocket. See our insurance claims support page for how that works.
Why Homeowners Pick Us Over the Big Franchises
The national franchises dispatch whoever is available and subcontract the rebuild. We're a local operation based at 85 Ellesmere Rd in Scarborough, and the crew that shows up at your door is our crew, start to finish. That means no handoffs, no waiting weeks between mitigation and reconstruction, and one person accountable for the whole job.
We're IICRC certified, Baeumler Approved, and we've completed over 1,000 jobs across the GTA. When we say a wall is dry, there's a moisture log to prove it. When we finish a mold job, an independent lab confirms clearance. That's the standard, every time.
