Put Safety First After a Leak or Flood

Stay out of standing water near outlets, appliances or wiring. Do not touch a wet power panel. Instead, contact Hydro-Québec or a qualified electrician for help. Keep people away from sewage, loose ceilings and unsafe rooms.

If a pipe leaks, close the water valve only when you can reach it safely. Then, arrange the source repair. For more guidance, read Québec’s advice on cleaning your home after a disaster.

Find the Source of Water Damage

Common causes include burst pipes, roof leaks and failed appliances. Heavy rain, blocked drains and seepage may also bring water indoors. However, the wet patch may sit far from the source.

Our team checks affected rooms and nearby areas. Next, moisture readings help show where materials remain wet. This helps define the cleanup work before new finishes hide the problem.

Plan Flood Cleanup Around the Water Source

Clear water is not always safe. Its source, contact with waste and time in the building affect the cleanup plan. For example, sewage needs controls that differ from a fresh supply-pipe leak.

Therefore, avoid moving dirty water or damaged contents through clean rooms. The team can explain which items need cleaning and which may need removal.

Water Damage Restoration in Longueuil

Remove Standing Water and Assess Contents

Once the area is safe, pumps and extraction tools remove standing water. This is an early step in flood cleanup. However, water may still remain below floors or inside walls.

At the same time, the crew checks furniture and other contents. Photos and an item list help record their condition. Some items may be cleaned, while soaked or badly damaged materials may need disposal.

Dry Wet Floors, Walls and Hidden Areas

Drying equipment helps remove moisture from the building. Air movers and dehumidifiers serve different roles, so placement matters. The setup should suit the materials and any contamination concerns.

During drying, the team takes repeat moisture readings. A surface that feels dry may still hide damp layers. Therefore, drying decisions should rely on checks rather than touch alone.

Address Mold and Plan Repairs

Wet materials can support mold growth. Prompt drying helps reduce that risk. However, a musty smell alone does not prove that mold is present. See our guide to water damage and mold growth for more information.

Before repairs start, review the source repair and drying results. Then, agree on which floors, walls or finishes need work. A clear plan helps avoid closing damp materials inside the building.

Keep Your Water Damage Recovery Organized

Keep photos, quotes and work records together. Also, discuss access times, drying checks and any changes to the agreed scope. For shared buildings, notify the property manager so nearby units can be checked.

Ask for a written scope that lists the rooms, materials and tasks involved. Before extra work starts, confirm how it changes the price and schedule.
