Common questions
Flood Damage Restoration FAQ
When can I re-enter after a flood?
Follow emergency authority, utility, and building-safety directions. Restoration staff cannot override an evacuation, closure, electrical, gas, or structural restriction. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Can flood-soaked drywall be dried in place?
The answer depends on water contamination, duration, how wet or damaged the material is, insulation, coatings, and access; removal is often considered for contaminated porous materials. Call our Cochrane team for help.
What should I do with wet contents?
Do not move contaminated items through clean rooms without a plan. Photograph them, separate access, and obtain approval before disposal. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Will you work with my insurer?
Calgary Water Restoration works with all insurers and can record the approved work, but policy coverage and settlement decisions remain with the insurer. Call our Cochrane team for help.
How is flood restoration different from extraction?
Extraction removes accessible water. Flood restoration also addresses contamination, debris, materials, cleaning, drying, records, and repair preparation. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Can you guarantee mould will not develop?
No. Prompt source control, removal, cleaning, drying, and monitoring reduce risk, but no responsible contractor can guarantee mould prevention in every building material. Call our Cochrane team for help.
