Emergency? 24-Hours
416-800-0000
GTA Restoration provides emergency flood cleanup for homes and businesses across Toronto and the GTA. A sudden leak or overflow can soak floors, walls and nearby belongings. First, our team checks the water source and affected areas. Then, we plan water removal, drying and repairs around the damage.
Our emergency flood cleanup service covers basement floods, burst pipes and sewer backups. In addition, we offer 24/7 assistance and explain the next steps when you call. Tell us where the water is coming from and whether it is still rising.
Keep people and pets away from sewage, damaged floors and electrical hazards. If you can reach a plumbing shutoff safely, close it to stop the leak. However, do not enter standing water to reach a valve or electrical panel.
The Canadian Red Cross offers safety steps for returning after a flood. Its advice includes waiting for clearance from authorities and having an electrician check affected electrical equipment before use.
The water source helps shape the cleanup plan. For example, a broken supply pipe needs plumbing repairs as well as drying. A sewer backup needs extra care with contaminated materials. Our sewage removal team can assess those conditions.
First, crews ask when the problem began and check where the water travelled. In addition, leak detection can help investigate an unclear source. Moisture meters help check wet materials; thermal images can guide further checks but do not measure moisture directly.
Once the area is safe, pumps and extractors remove standing water. Next, air movers and dehumidifiers help dry suitable materials. We may use specialty drying methods for hard-to-reach spaces. Throughout the work, moisture readings guide changes to the setup.
For example, some flooring, insulation or drywall may need removal. However, the team considers the water source, damage and drying options before deciding what can stay. Visible mould or repeated dampness also needs attention. Cleaning alone will not fix an ongoing leak.
In addition, photos, readings and work notes help track the loss. Also, keep quotes and invoices for your records. Repairs should follow suitable drying checks. Your insurer reviews the claim and decides which costs your policy covers.
Every property differs. For this reason, drying plans account for:
However, a dry-looking surface does not confirm that the layers below are ready for repairs. Therefore, crews check progress rather than promise a fixed finish date.
Leaks do not always leave a puddle. Watch for changes in rooms beside or below the affected area.
Houses, condos, offices and shops each need a practical plan. For example, shared buildings may need access to nearby units. Also, our team can discuss affected rooms, equipment space and repair priorities with owners or property managers.
For broader recovery needs, explore our water damage restoration services. Prompt assessment helps connect the urgent cleanup with the work that follows.

A few clear details help crews plan the work. Use these checks to organise access, belongings and records after a leak or flood.
First, explain when the water appeared and whether the source is still active. Also, mention any earlier leaks.
Before the visit, identify safe entry points. Tell the team about locked rooms, narrow stairs or shared building access.
Next, describe valuable or fragile belongings from a safe place. Then, ask how crews will assess their care.
Your quote should explain the proposed work and charges. Also, ask how the team handles changes to the scope.
During drying, follow the crew’s operating instructions. Keep access clear and report equipment faults instead of changing the setup.
In addition, save readings, photos and visit notes. As a result, you can follow progress and understand any extra work.
Once drying ends, review the remaining repairs. Confirm who will handle each task before new finishes go in.
Finally, report new stains or damp smells. A recurring issue may need another source check.

First, avoid unsafe areas. Stop a plumbing leak only if you can reach the valve safely. Then, call for help.
Keep affected electrical equipment out of use until a qualified electrician checks it. A dry surface does not prove it is safe.
No. Walls and floors may still hold moisture. Therefore, drying checks help crews decide what needs further work.
The time varies with the materials and site conditions. For this reason, moisture readings guide the drying plan.
