Help is available any hour, because water in a condo keeps spreading to neighbors until it is extracted.
Condo Moisture Inspection
The inspection maps water hidden under flooring, inside shared walls and above ceilings before drying begins.
Condo Flood Cleanup
Common hallways outside the unit are extracted too, since water often runs under the entry door.
Condo Drying Services
Drying equipment is placed to keep the kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom usable where possible during the work.

Signs of Water Damage Needing Condo Water Extraction

Floors that buckle, cup or lift at the seams have water trapped underneath them.

Frequent Sources of Condo Water Intrusion in Willoughby Spit

Night, weekend and holiday calls can cost more than a scheduled weekday visit.
