Water Damage Restoration Toronto LLC provides IICRC-certified flood damage restoration across Toronto, Ontario. Toronto receives 831mm of annual precipitation and experienced $1 billion in insured flood losses during the July 2013 storm alone.
What Types of Flood Damage Require Professional Restoration?
- Storm flooding: Heavy rainfall exceeding sewer capacity. The 2013 Toronto flood dumped 126mm in 2 hours, overwhelming the entire drainage system
- Burst pipe flooding: Frozen pipes burst during Toronto's 30+ days below -10C each winter. A single burst pipe releases 400+ litres per hour
- Sewer overflow: Combined sewers in older Toronto neighborhoods back up during heavy rain events, pushing Category 3 black water into basements
- Appliance failure: Water heater ruptures, washing machine hose failures, and dishwasher leaks. Common in Toronto condos and high-rises
- Overland flooding: Spring snowmelt and sustained rainfall saturate grading around foundations. Ontario insurers began offering overland flood coverage in 2015

Is Flood Damage Covered by Home Insurance in Ontario?
Most Ontario insurers began offering overland flood endorsements in 2015 after the 2013 Toronto flood revealed a coverage gap affecting hundreds of thousands of homeowners. The endorsement adds $100 to $300 CAD annually to premiums depending on flood zone.
Sewer backup coverage is also a separate endorsement in Ontario. Without it, a sewer-related basement flood averaging $8,000 to $15,000 CAD in restoration costs falls entirely on the homeowner. Water Damage Restoration Toronto LLC recommends verifying both endorsements before flood season. The company provides direct billing to all major Ontario insurers.
