Flooding in a Toronto condo can turn a small problem into a serious emergency in just minutes. Whether caused by a burst pipe, heavy rainfall, or a faulty appliance, acting quickly and wisely can prevent extensive damage, reduce repair costs, and safeguard your health.
Step 1 – Ensure Your Safety First
- Shut off electricity at the breaker if it’s safe to do so.
- Avoid standing water — it can be electrically charged.
- Wear rubber boots and gloves to protect against contamination
Step 2 – Stop the Water Source
- If it’s a burst pipe, close your condo’s main water valve.
- For appliance leaks, unplug and disconnect the appliance.
- If you can’t stop the water, call an emergency plumber immediately.
Step 3 – Document the Damage
- Take clear photos and videos for insurance claims.
- Record the time, cause (if known), and any immediate actions taken.
Step 4 – Call a Professional Water Damage Restoration Service
- Speed is critical — mold can start growing within 24 hours.
- Choose a local Toronto company with 24/7 emergency response.
Step 5 – Begin the Drying Process
- Use fans and dehumidifiers, but leave deep drying to pros.
- Remove soaked rugs, furniture, and valuables to a dry space.
Step 6 – Contact Your Insurance Company
- File your claim as soon as possible.
- Keep receipts for all expenses related to the damage.
