🌊 What is Professional Flood Restoration?

Flood restoration is a specialized branch of disaster recovery that goes far beyond simple cleaning. Because floodwater often contains silt, chemicals, or bio-contaminants, it requires a medical-grade approach to sanitization. Our process combines heavy-duty water extraction with structural drying and antimicrobial treatments to ensure your home is not only dry but clinically safe for your family.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common causes of flooding in Calgary?‍

In our region, flooding is typically driven by rapid spring snowmelts, foundation cracks during heavy rain, or internal plumbing failures like burst pipes.

How quickly should I act after a flood?

‍Immediately. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold begins to colonize and structural wood can start to warp or rot. Early intervention is the key to saving your property.

What equipment is used for flood cleanup?

‍We utilize truck-mounted extraction units, industrial air movers, LGR dehumidifiers, and HEPA air scrubbers to ensure a safe, dry environment.

Can you remove the "musty" smell left by floodwater?

‍Yes. We use professional-grade deodorizers and air scrubbers that neutralize odor molecules at the source rather than simply masking them.

Do you help with the insurance claim process?

‍Absolutely. We provide the detailed documentation, moisture maps, and photo evidence that insurance adjusters require to process your claim efficiently.

How long does the restoration process typically take?

‍The drying phase usually takes 3 to 5 days. Full reconstruction of the walls and flooring can take anywhere from a week to several weeks depending on the scale of the damage.

Can you help prevent my basement from flooding again?

‍Yes. Following restoration, we can provide advice on sump pump upgrades, exterior grading improvements, and foundation sealing.

Is floodwater dangerous?

‍Yes. Floodwater is often "Category 3" water, meaning it can contain sewage, chemicals, and bacteria. It should always be handled by professionals with proper PPE.
