Toronto · Houses, condos & commercial properties
A leak upstairs. A flooded basement. Water spreading through a business. Get help understanding the damage, arranging water removal and planning the drying work your property needs.
Tell us your Toronto address, where the water is and whether it is still entering. We’ll discuss safe access and current response availability.
Start with the building, not just the puddle
The same leak can create different problems in a downtown high-rise, a house in the Annex or a storefront with a finished lower level. Water can move through ceilings, wall cavities and flooring, leaving damage away from where it first appeared. Assessment should consider the source, material condition, possible contamination and how the work area can be accessed safely.
Contact building management when a leak involves shared plumbing, another unit or common areas. Explain wet ceilings and walls, and ask about service entrances, elevator reservations and equipment access. Decisions about shared systems need coordination with the responsible building team.
For homes in Leslieville, High Park, the Annex and nearby neighbourhoods, describe the lower-level layout, stairs, separate entrances and affected contents. If a basement apartment is occupied, notify the residents and owner, and discuss safe access before anyone enters the work area.
Tell us about operating hours, affected stock, equipment and restricted areas. Work-zone separation, loading access and communication with tenants or management should be included in the plan. Cleanup alone does not establish that a space is ready to reopen.
From the first assessment to the next repair
Review where water came from, which spaces and materials are affected and any immediate hazards. In a condo, this may involve information from management about the source and neighbouring areas. Confirm scope and permissions before opening finishes.
Choose removal methods suited to the conditions. Discuss affected flooring, wall bases and contents, including materials that cannot reasonably be cleaned or recovered. Separate disposal decisions from assumptions about insurance coverage.
After contamination concerns are addressed, use drying methods appropriate to the remaining materials. Moisture checks guide progress and help identify areas needing further investigation. The work may require more than a single visit.
Confirm what has been completed, remaining moisture concerns and any separate source repair or reconstruction tasks. Plumbing, electrical and structural work may require qualified specialists. Avoid replacing finishes until the relevant conditions have been addressed.
These project photos show air movers and dehumidifiers working alongside opened lower wall sections. Access to affected materials supports drying; moisture checks help determine what still needs attention before repairs begin.
Ask what is included in water extraction, material removal, cleaning, equipment use and monitoring. Condo access arrangements, affected belongings and damage across several floors can change the scope. Source repairs and reconstruction may be separate costs.
With your permission, our team can discuss restoration documentation and the proposed scope with your adjuster. The insurer determines coverage and deductibles. Confirm payment arrangements before authorizing work; direct billing is not automatic.
Revive Pro’s business address is 99 Crosby Ave, Richmond Hill. We accept Toronto restoration enquiries, including downtown properties and neighbourhoods such as the Annex, Leslieville, High Park and Yorkville. This is not a separate Toronto branch.
For North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke addresses, share the full location and access details when calling. Availability and arrangements must be confirmed for each property.

A plumber, electrician or utility provider may also be needed to stop the source or make the area safe. In a condo or managed building, notify management promptly.
Call to confirm current availability for your address. Access, traffic, the scope of the loss and current demand affect arrangements. Our business is based in Richmond Hill and serves Toronto; this page does not represent a separate Toronto office or promise a fixed arrival time.
Notify building management or the emergency building contact immediately and report the affected rooms and when the leak began. Keep clear of wet lights, outlets and sagging ceilings. Management may need to coordinate source isolation and access to other units. Do not enter another unit or disturb building systems yourself.
Call to discuss the conditions and availability. Notify occupants and the owner or property manager, and keep people away from standing water and electrical hazards. Explain whether the unit is occupied, how it is accessed and which finishes are affected. Safe access and temporary accommodation needs should be discussed with the responsible parties.
Source repair and damage restoration are different tasks. A qualified plumber may be required to repair a pipe or fixture. The restoration scope can address resulting water, affected materials and drying. Ask which tasks are included and who coordinates any additional trades before authorizing work.
The affected area, contamination, access, contents handling, material removal and drying requirements influence cost. Condo access restrictions and damage across multiple rooms or floors can add complexity. Ask for a written scope that separates mitigation, monitoring, source repairs and reconstruction rather than relying on a flat price based on a photo.
Coverage and responsibility depend on the cause, policy, building arrangements and applicable requirements. Notify your insurer and, for a condo, building management. Keep a record of dates, affected belongings and work authorized. Your insurer determines coverage, deductibles and reimbursement; the location of a leak alone does not settle responsibility.
That depends on the flooring assembly, condition, contamination and access to trapped moisture. Some materials may be recoverable; others may need removal to reach affected layers or because they cannot be appropriately cleaned. A surface that feels dry does not establish that the subfloor or wall base is ready for repair.
Yes, the source can change contamination concerns and the work needed to prevent recurrence. Water entering from outside or a drain may contain contaminants even if it appears clear. Foundation, drainage or sewer issues may need separate specialist attention. Describe the timing and entry point without approaching an unsafe area.
Review the condition of remaining materials, moisture findings, cleanup scope and any required specialist verification. Drying equipment duration alone is not proof of completion. Confirm that the water source has been addressed and that the agreed criteria are met before replacing finishes or closing cavities.
Include your neighbourhood, property type, affected rooms and whether water is still entering. For urgent help, call rather than waiting for an email response. This form does not confirm a booking or dispatch.
