Water damage restoration in Toronto & the GTA
Leaks, burst lines, overflowing appliances, a ceiling that suddenly drips. Water moves fast through drywall, subfloor and insulation — the first few hours decide whether this is a drying job or a rebuild. We come out day or night, stop the spread, and dry your home properly.

Signs you need water damage help

- Water under the dishwasher, fridge or washing machine
- Wet carpet or baseboards with no obvious source
Why speed matters
In the first 24 hours, drywall wicks water upward and hardwood starts to cup. Between 24 and 48 hours, mould can begin to grow on damp organic materials. After that, costs climb quickly — which is why our crews are set up to arrive in about an hour anywhere across Mississauga and the core GTA.
Clean water, grey water, black water
Not all water is the same. A supply line leak (Category 1) is handled very differently from a washing machine overflow (Category 2) or a sewer backup (Category 3). We classify the loss on arrival following the IICRC S500 standard, because it decides what can be dried in place and what must be removed for your family's health.
What we dry
Finished basements, hardwood and engineered floors, cabinets and vanities, wall cavities, ceilings under upstairs bathrooms, concrete slabs, and contents like furniture and area rugs. For condos, we coordinate with property management when water crosses into a neighbouring unit.
How much does water damage restoration cost in the GTA?
Typical 2026 ranges for emergency mitigation in the GTA: extraction, drying and any tear-out needed to dry the structure. Your real number depends on how much water, what kind, how long it sat and what it soaked into. We give you a written, itemized estimate on site and can work directly with your insurance adjuster.
| Situation | Typical mitigation cost* | Typical drying time |
|---|---|---|
| Small clean-water leak, one room (dishwasher, supply line) | $1,500 – $3,500 | 2 – 3 days |
| Burst pipe affecting 2–3 rooms or a ceiling | $3,500 – $7,500 | 3 – 4 days |
| Finished basement, clean or grey water (~500–800 sq ft) | $5,000 – $10,000 | 3 – 5 days |
| Sewer backup in a finished basement (Category 3) | $7,000 – $15,000+ | 4 – 6 days |
| Multi-unit condo loss or commercial space | $10,000 – $50,000+ | Varies |
*Emergency mitigation only, before HST. Rebuild (new drywall, flooring, paint, cabinets) is a separate estimate. Read the full water damage cost guide.

Stop the source
We help you find and shut off the water, make the space safe, and take photos and moisture readings before anything is moved.
Extract
Truck-mounted and portable extraction removes standing water from carpet, pad, tile and concrete — usually the same visit.
Measure & map
Thermal imaging and moisture meters show where water travelled behind walls and under floors, so nothing wet gets sealed in.
Dry & dehumidify
Commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are placed to a drying plan. We check readings daily until materials hit dry standard.
Restore
Only what can't be saved is removed. Drywall, flooring, baseboards and paint are put back so the room looks like it did before.
Water Damage questions
How long does it take to dry a house after water damage?
Most residential water losses take 3 to 5 days of drying. Dense materials like hardwood or concrete can take longer. We take daily readings and only remove equipment when materials reach dry standard.
Will my home insurance cover water damage?
Sudden and accidental water damage — like a burst pipe or appliance failure — is commonly covered by Ontario home insurance policies; gradual leaks and overland flooding depend on your policy and endorsements. We document everything insurers need and can bill your insurer directly.
Should I use fans myself before you arrive?
If the water is clean and it is safe to do so, opening windows and running fans helps. Don't use household vacuums on standing water and stay out of rooms where water has reached outlets or the electrical panel.
Do I need to move out during drying?
Usually not. Drying equipment is noisy but safe. If there is sewage, significant mould, or no working kitchen or bathroom, we'll tell you honestly and help document additional living expenses for your claim.
