Water Damage

WATER DAMAGE

If left unintended, water can cause enormous amounts of damage to your home or business. Whether you are dealing with minor flooding from a ruptured pipe, sewer backup, or severe flooding as a result of extreme weather – the first 24 hours of any water damage is critical.

ARS is highly experienced in handling both small and catastrophic-sized water damage disasters as well as the cleanup of both clean and contaminated water.
 

Depending on the source of the water and the extent of the damage, we will stabilize the site and mitigate the potential for secondary damage; We will promptly assess and process affected personal belongings for cleaning and restoration, extract the water, and prepare the affected area for drying.

​

STRUCTURAL DRYING

We are experts in water removal and drying and are often able to avoid costly repairs and reconstruction thanks to our advanced water damage restoration techniques and superior performing drying equipment. Drying the building as quickly as possible will prevent or limit secondary damages such as paint peeling, swelling of cabinetry, and mould growth, just to name a few. 

Contaminated water from a sewer backup poses a very real health risk if not handled properly. Affected materials and belongings may be removed or discarded and immediate cleaning and disinfecting will be carried out by qualified technicians so that the area is safe for occupants.

We will also work with your insurance company to coordinate your claim, and aim to return your property to its original condition as quickly as possible and with the least amount of disruption to your home or business.

MOULD REMOVAL

Another frequently experienced problem arising after water and flood damage is the growth of mould. 

Mould can be very harmful to those in the immediate environment if left untreated over a long period of time. Mould has been directly associated with allergies, itchy eyes, sore throat, respiratory problems (asthma), rashes, lung infections, and even cancer. 

Many people do not recognize the dangers linked with inhaling these microscopic mould spores and often try to remove mould with home remedies such as bleach, which merely changes the colour of the mould and does not get to the root of the problem itself. 

Our fully licensed professionals have many years of experience in removing mould. ARS only uses the safest, most effective practices for mould removal to ensure that it is completely removed and prevented from returning.
