Water Damage Restoration Toronto LLC handles storm damage restoration across Toronto, Ontario. Toronto averages 831mm of annual precipitation and endures 30+ days below -10C, creating a cycle of ice storms, freeze-thaw damage, and heavy rain flooding that damages homes year-round.
What Types of Storm Damage Affect Toronto Homes?
- Ice storm damage: Freezing rain accumulation exceeding 25mm collapses trees onto roofs, snaps power lines, and creates ice dams that force water under shingles. The December 2013 ice storm left 300,000 Toronto residents without power
- Wind-driven rain intrusion: Sustained winds above 80 km/h push rain through window seals, siding gaps, and roof penetrations. Water enters wall cavities without any visible exterior damage
- Heavy rainfall flooding: Downpours exceeding 25mm per hour overwhelm Toronto's drainage capacity. The July 2013 flood (126mm in 2 hours) caused $1 billion in insured losses
- Frozen pipe bursts: Extended cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls and unheated areas. A single burst releases 400+ litres per hour before detection
- Hail damage: Large hail cracks skylights, damages siding, and dents metal roofing. Cracked skylights allow water intrusion during subsequent rain
