Residential Water Damage FAQ
How fast can Paul Davis respond to an emergency?
Paul Davis offers 24/7 emergency response, with technicians typically arriving on-site within hours of your call. Fast response is critical with water and fire damage, since delays can allow issues like mould growth or structural damage to worsen quickly.
What's the difference between mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation is the immediate action taken to stop damage from spreading, things like water extraction, board-up services, or tarping a roof. Restoration is the longer-term process of repairing and rebuilding the property back to its pre-loss condition. Paul Davis handles both, so there's a seamless handoff from emergency response to full repair.
Does the type of water matter for restoration?
Yes. Water is categorized into three types:
- Category 1 (clean water, e.g., a supply line break),
- Category 2 (grey water, e.g., washing machine overflow),
- Category 3 (black water, e.g., sewage backup or flood water).
The category determines the health risks involved and the specific protocols, equipment, and safety measures required. Your Paul Davis representative will be able to explain the health risk for each type and the most appropriate action required for safe cleanup.
Will my insurance cover restoration costs?
Most homeowner and commercial insurance policies cover sudden, accidental water or fire damage, though coverage varies by policy and cause of loss. Please check your policy and/or contact your insurance company for your specific coverage details.
Paul Davis works directly with insurance providers and adjusters to help document damage, prepare estimates, and streamline the claims process for property owners.
How quickly can mould become a risk after water damage?
Mould can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours in the right conditions. This is why prompt water extraction and drying are so important. The longer moisture sits, the higher the risk of mould developing in walls, flooring, and other materials.
Paul Davis' quick response helps to mitigate the risk of mould growing and spreading, reducing the time and effort to get back to normal.
What should I do if my basement floods?
Shut off power to the affected area if it's safe to do so, avoid walking through standing water, and call your local Paul Davis office as soon as possible. Basements are especially prone to mould and structural issues due to poor airflow and prolonged moisture exposure, so quick extraction and drying are essential.
What happens to my belongings during restoration?
Paul Davis offers content cleaning, pack-out, and storage services to help protect and restore personal belongings affected by water, fire, or smoke damage. Items are inventoried, cleaned or restored where possible, and safely stored until your property is ready for move-back.
Are Paul Davis technicians certified?
Yes. Paul Davis technicians are trained and certified through industry organizations such as the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), ensuring restoration work follows recognized industry standards for safety and quality.
With 65 locations across Canada and over 300 throughout North America, Paul Davis is always nearby. Our expert restoration specialists are dedicated to restoring your home or property to its pre-damage condition.
