Water Damage · Basement Rebuild · Chomedey

Two Months of Water Behind a Finished Wall

Problem: A galvanized supply line failed inside a finished basement in Chomedey and leaked for roughly two months before anyone noticed. By the time it surfaced, water had moved through the assembly and mould had taken hold behind the finishes. What the owners expected to be a plumbing repair was already a containment and demolition job.
Solution: We opened the basement back to structure rather than guessing at the extent — with a slow leak, the damage is always wider than the stain. Affected material was removed, the assembly dried and readings logged, and the rebuild started only once the structure was verified dry. With the space already open, the owners chose to rebuild it as a full renovation instead of restoring it to what it had been.
Result: A basement finished to a better standard than before the failure, with a written record of what was found and what was replaced at each stage. That documentation is what turns a claim conversation into a short one.

Water Damage · Property Management

Problem: A winter pipe burst soaked ceilings, walls, and flooring across two occupied apartment units. The property manager needed fast drying to prevent mold and minimal disruption for tenants.
Solution: Emergency water extraction within hours, containment and drying equipment for five days with logged moisture readings, then full drywall, insulation, paint, and flooring replacement.
Result: Both units fully restored in under three weeks with tenants in place. Complete photo documentation supported the insurance claim from first visit to final walkthrough.

Small Repair & Color Matching · Homeowner

Problem: A water leak damaged the tile surround of a corner bathtub. The original tile was no longer available, making a seamless match difficult.
Solution: Removed the damaged tile and substrate down to the framing, installed a new waterproofing membrane around the tub, then retiled with a marble-look tile chosen to blend as closely as possible with the rest of the bathroom.
Result: A clean, finished repair the customer was happy with — proof that even a tricky color-match job can come out looking intentional.

Kitchen Remodel · Homeowner

Problem: A dated kitchen with failing cabinets, worn vinyl flooring, and a closed-off layout that the homeowners had lived with for years.
Solution: Full gut renovation: layout opened to the dining area, new cabinetry and quartz counters, tile backsplash, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and updated lighting.
Result: A bright, functional kitchen delivered on schedule and on the agreed budget — now the family's favourite room in the house.

Basement · Homeowner

Problem: An unfinished basement used for storage, with bare concrete, exposed framing, and a moisture concern in one corner.
Solution: Moisture issue corrected at the source, then full build-out: insulated framing, drywall, pot lights, vinyl plank flooring, and a built-in media wall with color-matched finishes.
Result: A warm, dry family room and play area that added usable square footage — and value — to the home.
