Water damage & flood cost — frequently asked questions
How much does water damage restoration cost in Ottawa?
Most residential water damage jobs in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario land between roughly $1,500 and $7,500. A clean-water (Category 1) basement caught within 24 hours often falls near $1,500–$3,000, while a Category 3 sewage or overland flood with deep standing water, contents handling and material removal can exceed $10,000. This estimator prices your specific water category, depth, affected area and exposure time in seconds.
What are IICRC water categories 1, 2 and 3?
Category 1 is clean water from a supply line, sink or tub. Category 2 is grey water from a sump failure or appliance discharge, which carries contamination. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water — sewage backup or overland flood — and requires biohazard protocols, controlled material removal and antimicrobial treatment. Category drives both the protocol and the price.
How fast do you respond to a flooded basement?
We dispatch 24/7/365 across Ottawa, the NCR, Kingston and Eastern Ontario. Extraction should begin within the first few hours: mould can start colonizing wet organic materials within 24 to 48 hours, so early extraction and drying is what keeps a water loss from becoming a mould remediation project.
How accurate is this online flood estimate?
The estimator uses the same base mobilization fee, per-square-foot rates and category, depth and exposure multipliers our coordinators use, so it is a realistic pre-assessment range. The final fixed price is confirmed on site once moisture meter and thermal readings establish the true migration path.
Does insurance cover a flooded basement in Ontario?
Sudden and accidental water losses are usually covered; overland flood and sewer backup need specific endorsements, and long-term seepage typically is not covered. We work for you, not for your insurance company, and we give you full documentation support — photos, moisture logs, cause-and-origin notes and an Xactimate-format breakdown on request.
What if I cannot pay for emergency water damage repairs up front?
Financing is available through our partners, including for lower credit scores, and can be arranged on the same call. Emergency stabilization is never delayed while payment is being discussed.
How long does structural drying take after a flood?
Typical structural drying runs three to five days with air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, verified by daily moisture readings rather than by the calendar. Dense assemblies — hardwood, plaster, insulated wall cavities — can take longer and may need injection drying or controlled removal.
Do you handle sewage backup cleanup?
Yes. Category 3 sewage losses are handled under containment with PPE, extraction, removal of porous contaminated materials, antimicrobial application, HEPA air scrubbing and post-cleanup verification before any reconstruction begins.
