Property Damage Prevention Before an Emergency

Regular checks can help prevent costly damage. For example, check pipes, drains, roofs, and sump pumps. Also, know where your main water shutoff and electrical panel are located.

Property Protection Against Water Damage & Flooding

Leaks, storms, and broken pipes can cause floods. First, stop the water source when safe. Then, remove standing water and check for hidden moisture.

For more help, see our water damage restoration services.

Fire & Smoke Property Protection

Fire can leave soot, smoke smells, and water damage. Therefore, wait until officials allow safe entry. Then, plan cleaning, drying, and repairs.

Mould Prevention & Moisture Protection

Mould often grows in damp areas. So, fix leaks and keep rooms dry. Also, check walls, floors, and other wet spots.

For more advice, read the City of Toronto’s mould guidance.

Our mould removal services can also help with growth and moisture concerns.

Plumbing & Burst Pipe Property Protection

A broken pipe can flood rooms fast. First, shut off the water when safe. Then, call for plumbing help.

However, fixing the pipe does not dry wet walls or floors. Therefore, check for trapped moisture before repairs.

Sewage Backup Property Protection

Sewage can carry harmful germs. So, keep people and pets away. Cleanup may require water removal, cleaning, and drying.

Learn more about our sewage backup cleanup service.

Biohazard Property Safety & Protection

Blood, body fluids, and other waste may pose health risks. Therefore, avoid direct contact with unsafe materials.

Our biohazard cleanup services help with these types of incidents.

Property Records & Emergency Documentation

First, take photos of visible damage when safe. Then, save quotes, bills, and work records. Also, keep copies for your insurer.

However, your insurer decides coverage based on your policy.

Rental, Condo & Commercial Property Protection

Damage can affect tenants, staff, and nearby units. Therefore, plan safe access and work areas. Also, keep building contacts and key records close by.
