Emergency Restoration in Colwood, British Columbia
Colwood's waterfront takes the force of Pacific winter storms, and salt water, spray and driftwood can reach homes close to shore. Salt water leaves residue and moisture that pumping alone does not fix. 911 Restoration of Vancouver Island dispatches crews to Colwood 24 hours a day.
Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Vancouver Island provides 24/7 restoration in Colwood. After a winter storm in January 2018, parts of Lagoon Road along Colwood's waterfront were flooded and covered in driftwood, and the City began a coastal erosion study. Call (236) 703-8990 and a crew is dispatched right away.

Learn about storm damage →What Damages Property in Colwood
When storm surge or wind-driven spray reaches a waterfront home, the water carries salt, sand and debris. Salt water and debris need cleaning and drying, not just pumping, because residue left in wall cavities and flooring keeps moisture in place.
Away from the shore, long wet winters find roofs, windows and crawl spaces. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden water and dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Colwood
Waterfront properties face storm surge, spray, driftwood and erosion in winter storms. Roof leaks, burst pipes in cold snaps and sewage backups in heavy rain are also part of the work here.
Mould usually follows water in Colwood homes. A basement or crawl space that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a long wet winter can grow mould within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odour in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Colwood usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after windstorms, falling trees, ice storms, and wind-driven rain from atmospheric rivers. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
