❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you respond to a flooded basement in Calgary?‍

We offer 24/7 emergency services and typically arrive at your location within 60 minutes.

Can I clean up a flooded basement myself?

‍While you can remove some water, a professional team is required to extract moisture from deep within the concrete and wall cavities. Without industrial dehumidification, mold is almost guaranteed.

Will my insurance cover basement flood cleanup?

‍Most policies cover flooding caused by pipe bursts or sump pump failures (with a rider). We provide all the professional documentation required to support your claim.

What should I do first when I find water in my basement?

‍If it is safe, turn off the electricity to the basement and shut off your main water valve. Avoid contact with the water, especially if a sewage backup is suspected.

How long does it take to dry out a basement?

‍A typical basement takes between 3 and 5 days to reach professional dry standards using our industrial equipment.

Can you save my carpet after a flood?

‍If the water is "clean" (from a pipe) and we arrive within 24 hours, there is a high chance. If the water is from a sewer or has been sitting for days, the carpet usually requires replacement for health reasons.

What is the "musty" smell after a flood?

‍That is often the smell of active microbial growth or trapped moisture. Our sanitization and drying process neutralizes these odors at the molecular level.

Do you help with the actual repairs after the cleanup?

‍Yes. We are a full-service restoration company. Once the basement is dry, our construction team can handle all repairs, from drywall to flooring.
