Emergency Water Extraction
Remove standing water after floods, burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm intrusion in Burnaby homes.
What this service covers
When water is inside a Burnaby home, extraction comes first. We remove standing water, identify the source when possible, and set containment so drying can start on the right materials. Speed matters—but so does knowing what is wet versus what only looks damp on the surface.
Why it matters: Limits secondary damage to floors, walls, cabinets, and belongings while conditions are still manageable.

Questions we hear often
Should I wait for the water to dry on its own?
Standing water and wet materials often need extraction and controlled drying. Waiting can increase secondary damage and mold risk. We explain what is urgent after we see the property.
Can you extract in a condo or rental?
Often yes, with building access rules in mind. Share strata or landlord constraints when you request help so we can plan equipment and timing.
