Know the neighbourhood
The high-rise spine of the city, running straight through the city centre. Almost everything we do along this corridor is multi-unit work. Vertical losses through several floors. Corridor and elevator lobby damage. Property managers who need documentation the same day.
The corridor along Hurontario Street through the city centre, from around Square One and Burnhamthorpe Road north past Eglinton Avenue.
1980s–present
High-rise condo towers with some townhouses and older low-rise rentals
The towers range from 1980s buildings on their original plumbing to recent glass towers with in-suite laundry and heat pumps in every unit. Older buildings have more riser and valve failures. Newer ones have more in-suite appliance and fan coil leaks, because there is so much more equipment inside each suite.
Outside water is rarely the issue up in the towers. It is gravity inside the building. Water from a suite runs down through floor slabs, along conduit and through sleeves to the suites and corridors below, and can show up several floors away from the source. At ground level, underground parking garages and their drains are the weak point during heavy rain, and ramps can channel water straight into the lower levels.
Local conditions
These three conditions decide where we look first on a Hurontario call, what can be saved and where the drying equipment goes.
A failure on a high floor reaches a dozen suites before the shut-off is found. Speed and per-suite documentation decide the whole outcome.
Where a loss starts inside a suite, the corporation can charge its deductible back to that owner. Establishing the source properly protects every party.
Elevator booking, corridor protection and noise restrictions set the schedule. We clear all three with the management office before the crew arrives.
A call we get often in Hurontario
A call we get often here: the property manager reports water coming through a ceiling in a suite or a corridor, and the source turns out to be a fan coil unit or a washer drain several floors up. By the time it is traced, two or three suites below are wet. We check each affected suite with a moisture meter, photograph it and write it up separately. The management office gets one report that shows the source and every suite the water reached.
Through the year
Fan coil and heat pump condensate pans overflow when their drains clog, often while the owner is away and the A/C runs all day.
Sprinkler lines and pipes near balcony doors, parking garage entrances and exterior walls can freeze during a deep cold snap.
Heavy rain and melt can overwhelm underground garage drains and flood the lowest parking level and its storage lockers.
Buildings schedule riser and valve work before winter, and water shut-offs and restarts are a common moment for an old valve to fail.
Most requested here
Nearly every call along this corridor is in a multi-unit building with a property manager, a board and several owners involved.
Commercial & Condo RestorationVertical leaks keep travelling until they are stopped, so the first hour decides how many suites are affected.
Emergency Water Damage RestorationSection 105 deductible chargebacks make it important to document the source of the leak clearly for every party.
Insurance Claim SupportBefore it happens
Know where your suite's water shut-off is, often behind an access panel near the laundry or in a closet, before you ever need it.
Ask your management office when the fan coil or heat pump in your suite was last serviced and whether the drain was cleared.
Turn the water off at the suite valve if you will be away for more than a few days.
Keep your condo unit insurance current and check that your deductible coverage matches your corporation's deductible.

(877) 738-2893Usually you start with your own unit insurance and let the insurers work it out. The corporation may also be involved if a common element is the source. We document the damage in your suite separately so your claim stands on its own.
We book the elevator and protect the corridors through the management office before we start. Drying equipment is quieter than most people expect, and we follow the building's rules on noise and working hours.
Yes. We pump out standing water, clean and dry the garage area and help owners sort and document what was in their lockers. Garage floods are often a different water category than a clean supply leak, so we test before we start.
Our average arrival in Hurontario 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.
