Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my Calgary basement flood?

‍Common culprits include heavy spring runoff, a failed sump pump, foundation wall cracks, or a backup in the municipal sewer system.

How quickly should I call a professional?

‍You should call within the first 24 hours. The longer water sits, the higher the risk of mold growth and permanent structural damage to your studs and drywall.

Can you dry a basement without removing the walls?

‍Sometimes. If the water is clean and we arrive quickly, we can use "in-place" drying techniques. However, contaminated water usually requires removing the lower section of drywall.

How do you find the source of the leak?

‍We use moisture meters and specialized leak detection tools to find cracks in the foundation or plumbing issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.

Is mold inevitable after a basement flood?

‍Not if you act fast. By achieving "dry standard" within 48 to 72 hours and using professional antimicrobials, we can effectively prevent mold from starting.

What should I do if my sump pump fails?

‍Call us immediately. While we extract the water, we can also inspect and repair your pump or recommend a battery-backup system for future protection.

Are your services available for emergencies?

‍Yes. We operate 24/7 across the Calgary area to ensure you are never left dealing with a flooded basement alone.

How long does it take for a basement to fully dry?

‍Most basements take between 3 and 5 days to dry completely using our industrial-grade dehumidification equipment.
