How Water Damage Shows Up in Edmonton
Frozen and burst pipes in deep cold
Record cold in January 2024 sent plumbers to no-heat and frozen-pipe calls across the region. A split supply line in an exterior wall, garage or crawlspace often shows itself only at the thaw, when water runs behind drywall and down into the basement. Knowing where your main shut-off is limits the damage.
Spring melt and summer cloudbursts
As frost leaves the ground, meltwater looks for the lowest point: window wells, foundation cracks and failed sump pumps. A summer thunderstorm can do the same in minutes. Finished basements need drying that reaches behind walls and under flooring, not only the visible surface.
High water on the North Saskatchewan River
After a very wet June 2026 the river was running high through Edmonton. River water and water that has sat in a basement carry bacteria and silt, so affected materials need cleaning and disinfection as well as drying.
How We Handle Water Damage Restoration in Edmonton
- You call (587) 315-1498 and tell us what happened. We give you safety steps and dispatch a crew.
- We stop the source where we can and extract standing water with truck-mounted and portable pumps.
- We map the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, including behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings.
- We dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers and read the moisture daily until verified targets are met.
- We clean, apply antimicrobial treatment, document the loss, and make repairs with our own crews.

Signs You Need Water Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Standing water or wet carpet in the basement after a storm
- Water seeping through floor cracks or the joint where the wall meets the floor
- Ceiling stains, sagging drywall, or bubbling paint
- A musty odour in a basement, closet, or crawl space
- Warped floors, swollen baseboards, or buckled trim
- A water meter that moves when every fixture is off
If water is entering the building, stop the source if you can reach the shutoff safely, and turn off power to wet areas if it is safe to do so. Move valuables, rugs, and electronics to a dry spot, take photos for your claim, and call (587) 315-1498. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or appliances, and do not use a household vacuum on water.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on where the water came from and how long it sat. Clean water from a supply line affects different materials than storm runoff or a sewer backup, and a loss caught in the first hours often saves drywall and flooring that a loss caught the next day cannot. We list each room, the moisture readings, and the materials we will dry, clean, or remove, and we update the list as the readings change.
Most residential losses take 3 to 5 days to dry, followed by repairs. Finished basements, hidden leaks inside walls, and losses involving contaminated water take longer. Daily readings tell us when the structure is dry, and we share them with you.
What We Restore After Water Damage
- Finished basements and basement walls
- Drywall, insulation, and ceilings
- Hardwood, laminate, and subfloors
- Carpet and pad
- Cabinets, trim, and baseboards
- Ceilings below upstairs bathrooms
- Contents and electronics
- Crawl spaces and utility rooms
Insurance and Documentation for Water Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on water losses. That means photos, readings, and a written scope of work that your adjuster can review, communication with the adjuster on your behalf, and billing handled for you. Coverage depends on your policy, so confirm with your carrier what applies to each source of water, since a burst pipe, a sump pump failure, a sewer backup, and surface flooding are often treated differently.
