Questions

How much does water damage restoration cost in Vancouver?

It depends on what the pro finds, which is why this page doesn’t print a number. Answer the questions on the card, add photos, and a real price comes back within 24 hours. Nothing is booked until you approve it.

Is GST included?

Quotes are before GST (5%). Pay by bank transfer after the work, or by card at 3% more. Nothing is charged until the job is done and signed off.

Should I call my insurer first?

Call them and send this. The assessment is what they ask for; getting it dated early is what protects the claim.

How many dryers?

The assessment says. A small bathroom is usually one or two units for three days; a basement is more. You pay per unit per day, and the number is on the quote.

Is this an emergency line?

No. For water running now, shut the main and phone 778-804-7890. This form is for the day after.
