A flood can leave behind more than water — mud, silt and debris often come with it, and floodwater from outside is generally treated as contaminated.
Our flood cleanup service focuses on removing water and debris, cleaning affected areas and drying the structure so materials don't stay saturated longer than necessary.
Flood scenarios we handle
- Overland water entering through doors and window wells
- Basements flooded during heavy rainfall
- Large internal leaks affecting multiple rooms
- Flooding caused by drain or sewer backup

Local considerations in Markham
Parts of Markham sit near the Rouge River and its tributaries, and older neighbourhoods may have drainage that struggles during intense rainfall — making flood preparedness important for many homeowners.
We serve properties across Markham, including Unionville, Cornell, Milliken, Wismer, Berczy Village, Markham Village and more. See our service areas for details.
Safety reminder
Never enter standing water that may be in contact with electricity. Treat water from outside, drains or sewers as contaminated and avoid direct contact.
