Questions about hiring in Winnipeg

Who do I call first after a basement flood in Winnipeg?

The City of Winnipeg asks residents to report overland or basement flooding to 311 and to contact their home insurance company. Clean-up should follow the procedures published by the Government of Canada, the Province of Manitoba and the Canadian Red Cross. Photograph the damage before anything is thrown out.

How fast does drying need to start?

As soon as possible. Health Canada says a house and furnishings dried within 48 hours are less likely to grow mould, and that finished walls wet for 48 hours or more should be removed completely. Ask a restoration company when it can start and how it will measure that the house is dry. Health Canada (source, opens in a new tab)

What should a restoration quote include?

What will be removed and thrown away, how the space will be dried and for how long, how dryness will be checked, and whether mould work and rebuilding are included or quoted separately. Ask whether the company will deal with your insurer directly and get the scope in writing before work begins.
