Richmond Hill is hilly, and hills send water downhill. Lots on the slopes near the Oak Ridges Moraine, around Lake Wilcox and in Bayview Hill can deliver groundwater to the foundation after spring melt or a long rain. When a basement wall starts to weep, or a damp patch spreads across the carpet, shut off any pipe you suspect and call us. For water damage repair Richmond Hill, we begin with Water Extraction.
Along Yonge Street and around Mill Pond, the older houses have mature trees, stone or block foundations and basements finished decades ago. In Elgin Mills, Oak Ridges and the newer areas, the houses are built around sump pumps and window wells. We deal with Sump Pump Failure, window well flooding and burst pipes alike, using submersible pumps, extractors, air movers and low-grain dehumidifiers to get the structure back to dry standard.
Drywall and ceilings take the worst of upper-floor leaks. A cracked supply line behind a bathroom wall can send water through the ceiling below, and a stain that grows brown overnight means the drywall is saturated. We offer Ceiling Water Damage Repair and Drywall Water Damage Repair, and Water Leak Detection helps trace the source with a thermal camera so we open up the smallest area possible. Hardwood Floor Water Damage is another regular job. Near Highway 7 and Yonge, high-rise condos mean Condo Water Damage from suite to suite.
Tell your property manager so the water can be isolated, then call us. We photograph the damage, record moisture readings daily and keep them ready for your insurance claim. A plumber will have to fix the broken line, and a mould specialist deals with any mould. The price depends on the amount of water, its category, how many square feet are wet, what it soaked into and how long the equipment runs. We explain it on site before work begins. Call (226) 639-7972 whenever you need us, day or night.
