Flooding is different from a small leak. When water enters a property from outside, during an intense storm, a blocked drainage path or rapid snowmelt, it often carries soil, debris and contaminants with it. It can cover large areas quickly and reach materials that are hard to see, like the cavity behind basement walls or the underside of flooring.
Our flood cleanup and restoration service in Richmond Hill focuses on removing water and debris, cleaning and sanitizing affected surfaces, and drying the structure thoroughly so repairs can be completed on a sound base. We work with homeowners, landlords and business owners to sort salvageable contents from items that need to be discarded, and to keep a record of what was affected throughout the process.
How this service works
Flood water is generally treated as potentially contaminated. Cleanup typically includes extraction, removal of mud and silt, disposal of saturated porous materials such as carpet pad and lower drywall, application of appropriate cleaning agents, and structured drying. Moisture is monitored until readings show materials have returned to acceptable levels.
