Questions to ask your contractor

  • Are your technicians IICRC certified for water damage restoration (WRT)?
  • Have you billed directly to home insurers before, and will you document the loss for my claim? See typical restoration cost ranges
  • What water category are you treating this as (1, 2 or 3), and how does that change the work?
  • How will you monitor moisture and prove the structure is fully dry before any rebuild?
  • Do you handle the rebuild too, or only the mitigation and drying?

Frequently asked questions

How many water damage restoration companies on this list answer around the clock?

189 of the 258 post hours on Google that read open 24 hours, every day of the week, 27 post set opening hours and 42 post none at all. That is each firm's own posting, not a check RestorationIndex ran on any of the 258.

How much review history sits behind these water damage restoration companies?

The 258 companies on this list carry 8,869 Google reviews between them, and the longest single record belongs to Paul Davis Toronto with 480. 211 of the 258 have enough of them for a star rating to be shown here; the other 47 are listed without one.

Is a five-star water damage restoration company on this page a safe bet?

Not on the stars alone. 107 of the 211 rated water damage restoration companies here show a flat 5.0, and the median review count across all 258 is 16, so a perfect score is often a small sample. 16 have passed 100 reviews, which is the number worth weighing a 5.0 against.

Water Damage Restoration in Greater Toronto Area: what homeowners ask

Does home insurance cover water damage?

It depends on the cause. Most Ontario home policies cover sudden, accidental water damage such as a burst pipe or an overflowing appliance, but overland flooding (water entering from outside) and sewer backup usually require separate endorsements you have to add. Insurers also treat emergency mitigation (extraction and drying) separately from the rebuild, so document everything and open a claim early. Check your policy wording or ask your broker which perils you actually carry.

What are Category 1, 2 and 3 water?

Restoration pros classify water by how contaminated it is, under the IICRC S500 standard. Category 1 is clean water from a supply line, Category 2 (grey water) carries some contamination such as washing-machine or dishwasher discharge, and Category 3 (black water) is grossly contaminated, including sewage and outdoor flood water. The higher the category, the more material has to be removed rather than dried and saved, which drives both scope and cost.

How do I know my home is actually dry?

Surfaces can feel dry while framing and wall cavities are still wet, so professionals use moisture meters and sometimes thermal imaging to track drying to a documented target, not by touch. Ask for moisture readings at the start and again at sign-off. Rebuilding over material that is still wet is the most common way a mold problem starts weeks later.

What is the difference between mitigation and rebuild?

Restoration usually happens in two phases. Mitigation is the emergency work: stopping the water source, extracting standing water, removing unsalvageable material and drying the structure. Rebuild, or reconstruction, is putting it back with new drywall, flooring, paint and finishes. Insurers often treat these as separate line items, and some companies do only mitigation, so confirm who handles the rebuild before work starts.

How long does water damage drying take?

There is no fixed number, because it depends on the water category, how much material is wet and how deep the moisture went. Professionals dry to a measured target using moisture meters, air movers and dehumidifiers rather than to a set schedule, and they monitor readings until the structure reaches a dry standard. Ask to see moisture readings over the course of the job so you know drying is judged by data, not guesswork.
