Water damage restoration serving Etobicoke

Etobicoke has some of the oldest residential housing in the GTA's west end. Long Branch, Mimico, and New Toronto have homes dating back to the 1920s and 1940s, many of them built before modern sewer separation. Those properties often have original clay sewer laterals, cast-iron drain stacks, and basement floor drains that sit right in the path of a combined sewer surcharge.

The Humber River runs through Humber Valley Village and the Kingsway, and properties near that corridor have a documented history of storm flooding. The July 2013 storm hit parts of Etobicoke particularly hard, overwhelming sewer capacity and pushing water into hundreds of basements across the area. Properties that flooded in 2013 and weren't fully remediated at the time are still at risk for mould in wall cavities.

Whether you're dealing with an acute emergency — water coming in right now — or the aftermath of something that happened and didn't get dealt with properly, we assess what is actually there, dry it out, and document everything for your insurance company.

Questions from Etobicoke homeowners

How quickly can you respond to a water emergency in Etobicoke?
We are available 24/7 and aim to have a crew on site within 1 to 2 hours of your call anywhere in Etobicoke — Mimico, Long Branch, New Toronto, Rexdale, Humber Valley, and everywhere in between.
We're near the Humber River and our basement gets wet every time there's a major storm. Is this something you can help with?
We can dry your basement out after each event and help prevent mould from taking hold. The flooding source near waterways is often groundwater pressure and surface run-off that overwhelms the drainage system — a structural issue that may require more than mitigation to fully solve. We will be straight with you about what we can address and what needs a waterproofing contractor.
Our house in Long Branch was built in the 1940s and has original clay pipes. Is that a problem?
Clay sewer laterals from that era can crack, root-intrude, and collapse, which causes backups and slow drainage. If you have had water come up through floor drains or toilets, old clay pipes are a likely contributing factor. We handle the cleanup and drying after a backup event. A plumber or drain camera company can assess the pipe condition separately.
What does a sewage backup cleanup involve?
Sewage backup is a Category 3 water event — the most serious. It requires extraction, containment, removal of contaminated porous materials, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment with appropriate products. We document everything for insurance. The area is not safe to occupy until it has been properly decontaminated.
How long will the drying process take?
Clean water events on a standard basement take 3 to 5 days with industrial equipment. Sewage events require additional remediation steps before drying begins. We monitor moisture readings every day and only remove equipment once the structure is confirmed dry — not just dry on the surface.
