Know the neighbourhood
City centre living around Square One, mixing older low-rise apartments with newer condo towers and a pocket of established housing. Our Dundas Street base sits close by, so response times here are among the fastest we offer anywhere.
Fairview sits just south and west of the City Centre, west of Hurontario Street and south of Burnhamthorpe Road, with Fairview Road West running through the middle of it.
1950s–2020s
Bungalows, rental apartment blocks and condo towers
Fairview has three distinct building types on the same few streets. Small detached homes from the post-war years, mid-century rental apartments, and newer condo towers pushed up by the growth around Square One. A single call can involve a homeowner, a landlord or a condo board, and the paperwork changes completely between them.
Much of Fairview is now covered by roofs, parking structures and pavement, so rain goes into storm sewers fast instead of soaking in. In the older house pockets, original sanitary connections can surcharge during heavy storms and push water up through basement floor drains. In towers, drainage problems are usually internal: blocked balcony drains, failed parking membranes and plugged stacks that back up into the lowest suites on a riser.
Local conditions
These three conditions decide where we look first on a Fairview call, what can be saved and where the drying equipment goes.
Older rental buildings and new condos fail in different ways. Aging risers in one. In-suite valves and appliance connections in the other.
Below-grade parking and lockers take water from surface drains and sprinkler discharge, damaging stored contents belonging to many owners at once.
Nearly every loss here needs the management office involved before work starts. We make that contact ourselves on the first call.
A call we get often in Fairview
A call we get often here: water is coming through a bathroom ceiling or down a kitchen wall in a condo or rental suite, and the source is a unit one or two floors up. The upstairs owner may not be home. We work with the building's management or superintendent to get access, find the source, and document which suites and which common elements were affected, since that decides whose insurance responds.
Through the year
Sprinkler lines in parking garages, stairwells and loading areas can freeze and split, and a broken sprinkler head releases a lot of water very quickly.
Balcony and terrace drains clogged with winter debris send meltwater under sliding doors and into suites below.
Intense downpours overload parking garage drains, and older bungalow basements take backup through floor drains when the sanitary line surcharges.
Building heating systems restart and old radiator valves and fan coil units in rental blocks start to leak after months of sitting.
Most requested here
Multi-unit buildings are a large part of Fairview, and losses here regularly cross suite lines and common areas at the same time.
Commercial & Condo RestorationWater moving down through several floors needs to be stopped and extracted quickly to protect every suite below the source.
Emergency Water Damage RestorationThe older house pockets and low suites on shared stacks are the ones that take backup during heavy storms.
Sewage & Category 3 CleanupBefore it happens
Learn where your suite's shut-off valves are; in many condos they are behind an access panel in a closet or under a sink.
Clear balcony drains before winter and again after the snow melts.
In older bungalows, ask a plumber whether a backwater valve can be fitted on the sanitary line.
Keep stored items in parking lockers off the floor in sealed plastic bins, not cardboard.

(877) 738-2893It depends on the source, your building's declaration and the insurance policies involved. The corporation's policy, your unit policy and the upstairs owner's policy can all come into it. We document the source and the affected areas clearly so the insurers and the property manager can sort out responsibility.
For anything touching common elements, yes, and most buildings around Square One have rules about contractor access and elevators. We contact management ourselves on the first call. Emergency steps like stopping water and extracting it can usually start right away.
Very likely. In older homes, heavy rain can surcharge the municipal sanitary line and push water back up through the lowest drain in the house. That water is contaminated, so it needs to be treated as a sewage backup, not plain rainwater.
Our average arrival in Fairview is 30 min from the Dundas Street West base in Cooksville. A restoration manager answers live, 24 hours a day, and sends the nearest equipped truck while you are still on the line.
