When spring ice jams back up the rivers, water moves into low ground quickly and stays until levels fall and pumps catch up. Floodwater from a river is contaminated, so we extract it, remove wet drywall, insulation and flooring that cannot be saved, and disinfect before drying.
After the water is out, the work shifts to drying structure and preventing mould. We use meters and thermal imaging to find moisture in wall cavities and under floors, and we dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Waterways
Waterways is low ground near the rivers, with basements and crawlspaces that collect water during spring runoff and ice-jam events. Burst pipes and sewer backup add to the winter and spring load, including around Prairie Loop.
Mould usually follows water in Waterways 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 Waterways 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.
