Smart Solutions for a Safer Tomorrow

Disaster recovery has come a long way. From manual cleanup to tech-powered restoration, innovation is transforming how we respond, rebuild, and protect our homes and communities. At Paul Davis Canada, we're proud to be at the forefront of this change.


Here’s how cutting-edge technology is redefining restoration in Canada


Drones and Aerial Imaging


Drones allow rapid, safe, and accurate assessments of damage — especially for roofs and hard-to-reach areas. High-resolution aerial imagery helps:

  • Identify risks faster
  • Speed up insurance documentation
  • Improve safety for crews

Moisture Mapping and Thermal Imaging


Moisture behind walls and under floors isn’t always visible. Infrared cameras and moisture meters help:


  • Detect hidden water damage
  • Prevent future mould growth
  • Guide precise drying and mitigation efforts

3D Scanning and Digital Documentation


Advanced 3D scanning creates a digital replica of the damaged space. This helps:


  • Document every detail for insurance and repairs
  • Improve transparency and trust with clients
  • Reduce claim disputes and delays


Environmentally Friendly Restoration Materials


Green materials and eco-conscious practices are becoming the standard. Innovations include:


  • Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and sealants
  • Sustainable drywall and insulation
  • Waste reduction through precision planning


Smart Home Integration


Restoration now goes beyond repair — it includes resilience. We help homeowners rebuild with smart technology that alerts, prevents, and protects:

  • Water leak detection sensors
  • Smart thermostats for fire prevention
  • Automated shutoff valves


Why It Matters


Faster responses. Better outcomes. Lower risk.


With the help of innovation, disaster recovery is not just about restoration — it’s about rebuilding safer, smarter, and more sustainably.
