How Does FIRESTONE Restoration Make Ottawa Water Damage Disappear?

At FIRESTONE Restoration, we know how devastating water damage can be. In minutes, water can turn your safe, comfortable home or business into a stressful, chaotic mess, whether it's from a burst pipe, a flooded basement, or property leaks. That's where we come in.

For years, we've been helping homeowners and property managers across Ottawa take control after water damage emergencies—and we don't just clean up the mess. 

We restore peace of mind. From emergency response to full restoration, we make water damage disappear, leaving your space safe, dry, and better than ever. Here's exactly how we do it.

Immediate Emergency Response—24/7

Water damage doesn't wait, and neither do we. Our Ottawa-based team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because fast action is critical. Once you call us, our trained technicians mobilize quickly to assess the situation and, if necessary, stop the source of the water. 

We arrive fully equipped to begin mitigation immediately because the longer the water sits, the worse the damage becomes. We treat every emergency with urgency, compassion, and professionalism. Whether it's the middle of the night or a long weekend, we're ready to help you recover.

Detailed Damage Assessment and Inspection

Once we're on-site, we don't guess—we inspect thoroughly. We use advanced moisture meters, infrared cameras, and professional-grade inspection tools to assess the full scope of the water damage—even in places you can't see, like behind walls or under flooring. 

We determine how far the water has spread, what materials are affected, and which areas are at risk for mold or structural damage. This allows us to create a customized restoration plan based on your unique situation, not a cookie-cutter approach.

Water Extraction and Moisture Removal

Next, we use powerful extraction equipment to move quickly to remove all standing water. We have the tools to handle it quickly and efficiently, whether a few inches or feet deep. 

We can safely extract water from carpets and hardwood to concrete and drywall without causing additional damage. But water removal is only the beginning. 

Hidden moisture can linger in building materials and insulation, so we follow up with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure every drop is gone.

Our goal is not just to dry the space—it's to protect it from future problems like mold, warping, or rot.

Mold Prevention and Air Quality Protection

Water and humidity create the perfect environment for mold, which can start growing in as little as 24–48 hours. At FIRESTONE Restoration, we take mold prevention seriously. As part of every water damage job, we treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions and monitor humidity levels closely to keep conditions safe.

If any signs of mold are present, we're fully trained and certified to handle remediation. We don't cut corners regarding your air quality and health.

Damage Removal and Structural Drying

Depending on the severity of the water damage, we may need to remove compromised building materials like drywall, baseboards, insulation, or flooring. Our Water Damage team handles this part carefully and efficiently, removing only what's necessary while protecting what's salvageable. 

We clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, eliminating bacteria and debris, and immediately begin the structural drying process. We work quickly and precisely to get your property back on track.

Full Restoration and Rebuilding

This is where we shine. Unlike companies that only handle cleanup, FIRESTONE Restoration offers full reconstruction services to restore your space to its pre-loss condition. Whether reinstalling drywall, replacing flooring, or repainting walls, our skilled tradespeople take care of it all.

We believe Water Damage restoration means more than drying out your home—helping you rebuild confidently. Our work is always high-quality, code-compliant, and built to last.

Coordination with Insurance Providers

We know how overwhelming it can be to deal with insurance while managing a water emergency. That's why we work directly with your insurance company, taking the burden off your shoulders.

From documenting damage to submitting estimates and progress reports, we handle the communication and paperwork so you don't have to. 

We're familiar with most major providers in Ottawa and can help you navigate your claim smoothly and efficiently. We aim to make the restoration process as seamless as possible for you.
