Water Damage and Restoration in Hamilton
Water damage in your home can lead to significant structural problems, mould development, and expensive repairs.

Our Water Damage Restoration Services in Hamilton
As experts in water damage restoration, we’ve developed a comprehensive process to address the most pressing challenges right away, minimizing damage and allowing you to enjoy your space once again.
Emergency Assessment
Upon contacting us, we spring into action immediately. First, we identify the source of the water and stop any further water from entering your home. After that, we assess the damage and develop a detailed restoration plan. We’ll walk you through the plan, ensuring you’re fully informed before we begin any work.
Water Extraction and Drying
We use industrial-grade pumps to remove any standing water and then employ fans and dehumidifiers to dry the affected areas. Throughout the process, we’ll also remove any water-damaged furniture and other belongings, which we will clean thoroughly or dispose of, according to your preferences.
Mould Removal and Sanitation
Our team will effectively remove mould and mildew from all surfaces and treat them to prevent further bacterial growth. Once completed, the affected areas will look and smell as they did before the water damage occurred.
Repairs and Restoration
Depending on the extent of the damage, we may need to replace flooring, drywall, and sometimes even ceilings. However, we work to ensure minimal disruption to your home—if extensive repairs aren’t necessary, we will focus on just the damaged areas. For instance, if only the lower part of the drywall was affected, we would remove and replace that portion rather than removing the entire wall.
