A drip from a light fitting at 2am usually means a lot more water above than you can see. Downtown Toronto condo living puts hundreds of units on shared stacks, so a leak that starts in one suite can spread through the ceilings, walls and floors below. If it is you, close your suite shut-off if you can reach it, tell the concierge or property manager at once, and keep off wet floors near outlets. For water damage repair Downtown Toronto, call us on the number below.
Condo Water Damage is the bulk of our downtown work: a burst supply line, a dishwasher or washer hose, a failed toilet fill valve or a roof or balcony drain that backs up. We handle Water Extraction, Ceiling Water Damage Repair and Drywall Water Damage Repair, and Hardwood Floor Water Damage in the suites above and below. Who pays for what between the unit and the building is set by your condo corporation's declaration and the Condominium Act, so ask your property manager.
Many buildings in King West, CityPlace, Liberty Village and along Harbourfront went up in the 1990s and 2000s. Some from that period have Kitec plumbing, a type of pipe fitting that has failed in some Ontario condos. Our Water Leak Detection work with a thermal camera and moisture meter helps trace a hidden leak without opening every wall. If the fitting or pipe has to be replaced, that is a plumber's task. Downtown also has older Victorian and Edwardian houses and rowhouses, in places such as Cabbagetown, where wet plaster and old brick call for slower, careful drying.
In low basements near the old city core, storm surcharge during a flash flood is a real concern. Structural Drying, Dehumidifier Rental and a written Water Damage Assessment all form part of the job, with moisture readings logged daily. The price depends on how many suites and rooms are affected, how much water there is, its category, what it soaked into and how many days the equipment runs. The figure is walked through with you in your suite or lobby before we start. Parking and elevator access also affect the job, so tell us what your building requires. Call (226) 639-7972 whenever it happens, including nights and weekends.

Water Damage Repair in Downtown Toronto — Local Notes
- •Downtown Toronto is mostly high-rise condos and lofts where water travels unit to unit, with some Victorian rowhouses and older brick buildings. Kitec plumbing in some 1990s and 2000s condos and flash-flood surcharge in low basements are the other local risks.
