Water Damage Repair in Markham, ON L3R

Markham is two cities in one when it comes to water. In the heritage streets of Unionville and Markham Village, older homes have stone and brick foundations and plumbing that has seen several renovations. In Cornell, Berczy Village and the newer subdivisions, the houses are modern but depend on sump pumps and grading. For water damage repair Markham homeowners need a crew that treats both sorts of building properly, and we start with Water Extraction.

A newer Markham house usually has a finished basement with a sump pit, laminate or engineered floors and drywall ceilings. A pump failure or storm overflow spreads water under the baseboards and into the framing. We pump out the pit and basement, remove wet baseboard and underlay, make flood cuts at 2 or 4 feet where needed, and run Structural Drying with air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers until readings reach dry standard.

Older Unionville homes need more caution. Plaster, old brick and mixed renovations mean water can travel in odd directions. Our Water Leak Detection uses a thermal camera and moisture meter to trace it, and Burst Pipe Water Damage work follows once the line is shut off and repaired by a plumber. Where leaks soak a ceiling, we handle Ceiling Water Damage Repair and Drywall Water Damage Repair. Along Highway 7 and around Markham Centre and Milliken, condo towers bring Condo Water Damage: leaks between suites, appliance hoses and balcony drains.

Call building management so water can be isolated, then call us. We photograph each affected suite and keep moisture readings for your condo corporation and insurance claim. Dehumidifier Rental can help when only extra drying is needed. The cost depends on how much water, its category, how many square feet are wet, what materials soaked it up, how long it sat and how many days of equipment are needed. You will know the number on site, before any work begins. If you have water in the house now, call (226) 639-7972 at any hour.
