Water damage in your home is more than just a mess—if not handled quickly, it can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and costly repairs. Whether from a burst pipe, flood, or leaky roof, knowing what to do right away can make all the difference.
At Restoration Canada, we’re here 24/7 to help Toronto homeowners recover quickly and safely from water-related disasters.
Step 1: Stop the Water Source
If safe to do so, turn off the water supply. Shut off the main valve or isolate the leak. This step is critical to prevent further damage.
Step 2: Turn Off Electricity in Affected Areas
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If any outlets or electronics are exposed to water, turn off the power to that area at the breaker panel. Never touch wet wires or appliances.
Step 3: Begin Water Removal and Drying
The longer water sits, the worse the damage becomes. Use towels, mops, or a shop vacuum to remove standing water, and open windows to increase airflow.
💡Pro Tip: Professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers are essential for full drying. That’s where a certified restoration team like ours comes in.
Step 4: Call a Professional Water Damage Restoration Company
We’re IICRC-certified and use state-of-the-art equipment to restore your home quickly.
Step 5: Document Everything for Insurance
Take photos and videos of the damage. Save all receipts for cleanup, repairs, and related costs. Our team helps handle the insurance claim process to make things less stressful.

I had an amazing experience working with Igor Goldshmidt on my bathroom renovation. From start to finish, the professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and quality of work were outstanding.
It’s rare to find someone who truly takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about the final result. Igor went above and beyond to bring the vision to life, and the finished bathroom turned out even better than I imagined.
Reliable, skilled, honest, and very detail-oriented. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality renovation work. Thank you again for creating such a beautiful space!

Our dishwasher leaked. without us noticing. until the water broke through the ceiling in our basement bedroom. It caused damage to the ceiling, wall, and floor in that room and also the hardwood floor in our kitchen.
I remembered dealing with them in the past, so on a Saturday morning, I made the call and within an hour of my call, I had the Project manager at my home. Half an hour after that he had a plumber in to disconnect the dishwasher and 1/2 an hour later he had a team in to dry up the water and spray disinfectant so mold would not grow.
The manager dealt with our insurance company. Because of the extent of the damage, and the fact that that they had to remove all of the flooring in the upstairs and the basement, we were asked to move out of the house. They did all the packing, put our belongings in storage so they were not hindered by having to move furniture around. They took pictures of everything they moved, noting any existing damage.
When we moved back in, even our books were back in the same order that they found them.
They estimated repairs would take 5 weeks, but we were home in 4.
They kept us informed of everything they did.
Great job by the entire team.

The work done to restore our ceiling after water damage was excellent. The workers took the time to carefully prep and cover, then drywall and paint. It looked perfect at the end. Ivan and Jessica were completely professional and detailed as well as being friendly and courteous
Thank you

I cannot recommend Canada’s Restoration Services highly enough. We dealt with a stressful water leak this past winter that unfortunately led to mold in my son’s bedroom. From the moment they stepped in, they were complete professionals.
Andres and John were my main contacts throughout the process and they were so helpful at coordinating everything. They truly made us feel like they cared about our problems and the safety of our family. They didn't just clean up the mess; they helped us navigate the entire process, including coordinating with contractors and ensuring every step was handled correctly. They were prompt, incredibly clean while working in our home, and always quick to respond to my questions. If you are looking for a team that is reliable and actually cares about the safety of your family, this is the company to call. They checked every single box for us!"

This is from 2023
This was my first time using Restoration Canada, and I must say, it was a very good choice. From the very first telephone call, I could tell that this would be a great relationship, and I was correct. Overall, all the workers were very respectful, clean and honest. There were days when I had to leave my house, and I was not afraid to leave the workmen in the house.
Alex, so easy to talk to, and always ensuring that the project was going as planned
John, his integrity is beyond reproach
Mauricio, so humble and honest
Pops and his son – again, very humble
I work from home, and the workmen were never a bother to me. I have never worked with a team that was so neat and tidy, I did not have to do any cleaning after the job was done!
THANK YOU all so very much, I am so happy with the job, and will not hesitate to recommend your services. You put the EXTRA in EXTRA-ordinary

I am so glad we called Restoration Canada when we discovered a leak in our basement at the end of last year. They send out a crew right away to dry everything out and prevent mold, and were so easy to work with. They recently completed the remodel and not only am I thrilled with the results (which included a custom counter modification), I am so grateful to the entire team for making rhe process so smooth. They even helped us through the process with our insurance company. I highly recommend them for any housing mishaps, they really made the whole process low stress. Thank you!!
