Flood Restoration in Richmond

Garage and house often share one concrete plane. If the water crossed the threshold, both are on the map. We photograph the garage door grade, the ditch or the street, and the line on the inside wall.

Extraction is a garage job as much as a room job. Then the floor covering in the house comes up along the path the water walked. Air moves across the slab. A dehumidifier in a hallway with the vinyl still down is not drying Richmond concrete.

Flat lots do not shed. Water shows at the slab edge, under baseboards, and under vinyl. We lift enough floor to see how far the damp concrete extends, because the wet edge is often wider than the stain.

Broadmoor and East Richmond ranchers follow that slab pattern. Ditch and groundwater photos go in the file because that inlet is often an overland or flood-coverage question, not a burst-pipe file. We show which one you have. We do not promise which one pays.

A stack or a suite above wets the ceiling and then the floor of the unit below. We meter both. Contents on the floor get lifted the same day. The unit above is named, confirmed or not.

Hamilton townhouses with the same stacks get a party-wall check. Water in a shared wall is not only the ceiling stain in one kitchen. Access through strata is part of the first visit. We protect the corridor while wet material leaves.

Parkades take water at the ramp in a hard rain, and lockers take it from a line or from the ramp if they sit low. Concrete and contents are the restore. We list locker contents before they are piled in a "dry" corner that is not dry.

A podium suite above that parkade is a second area if water came through the ceiling. The ramp flood and the suite flood stay as two inlets unless we can see they connected. Mashing them into one story is how the file gets confused.
