During that July 2024 stretch, rain fell at peak rates of 50 mm per hour, and rock and debris blocked storm sewer inlets, including two at Chedoke Golf Course. When inlets clog, water finds the lowest point, which often means a basement window well, floor drain or foundation crack.
The City of Hamilton suggests draining a flooded basement in stages, about a third of the volume per day, and having a qualified electrician service wet appliances before use. The City's Protective Plumbing Program offers a grant toward a backwater valve, downspout disconnection and a sump pump installed with a backwater valve on single-family homes. We handle extraction, disinfection and structural drying, and document the loss with photos for your insurer.
How We Handle Losses in Hamilton
Hamilton neighbourhoods near the escarpment face runoff, sewer surcharge and groundwater. Basement flooding, sewer backup through floor drains and burst pipes in winter are the losses we prepare for here.
Mould usually follows water in Hamilton homes. A basement 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 humid summer 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 Hamilton usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
