Toronto's 24/7 Emergency Water Damage Response Team
A water emergency in your Toronto home is not a situation where you can wait until morning. Water is relentless, it seeps into every crack, saturates drywall, wicks up framing lumber, and creates mould risk within the first 24 hours. What starts as a burst pipe at midnight can become a structural drying project that costs 3× more if left unaddressed overnight.
IntelliHomes operates around the clock because water damage doesn't observe business hours. Our emergency line is answered by a live dispatcher, not a voicemail every hour of every day, 365 days a year. When you call, a certified crew is mobilised immediately.
60-minute on-site guarantee, anywhere in Toronto. Backed by pre-positioned crews, fully loaded response vehicles, and a dispatch system built around one priority: getting to you fast.
🚨 Active flooding right now? Stop reading call (825) 203-1411 immediately. Our dispatcher will guide you on immediate safety steps while the crew is en route.
🕐 What Happens After You Call
What To Do Right Now | Before IntelliHomes Arrives
After calling us at (825) 203-1411, these steps protect your safety and limit further damage while our crew is en route.
- ✓ Shut off the main water supply valve if the source is a burst pipe (usually near the meter in the basement)
- ✓ Turn off breakers to the flooded area from a dry location only
- ✓ Document damage with photos and video from outside the flooded zone
- ✓ Move valuables to dry areas if you can do so without entering the water
- ✓ Call your insurer to report the event and open a claim
- ✓ Stay out of the area and keep children and pets away
- ✗ Enter standing water before confirming electricity is off - fatal risk
- ✗ Use household fans - they spread moisture and mould spores to unaffected areas
- ✗ Use a shop-vac on Category 2/3 water (sewer backup, toilet overflow)
- ✗ Turn on HVAC systems - spreads contaminated air through the building
- ✗ Discard any damaged items before they are photographed for insurance
- ✗ Wait until morning - damage compounds every hour, mould starts in 24h
Do not enter standing water near any electrical outlet, appliance, or panel. Shut off breakers from a dry location. If your electrical panel is inside the flooded area, exit the building and call Toronto Hydro before re-entering.
Main water supply valve is typically in the basement near the meter. For condos, contact building management immediately they can shut off the riser valve. For an appliance, close the supply valve behind or beneath it.
Take photos and video of all visible water, damage, and the source if visible. Capture all affected rooms. Do not enter the flooded area to get closer photos. This documentation is critical for your insurance claim.
Household fans spread moisture into unaffected areas and can push mould spores through the structure. They cannot dry building materials, only the surface. For Category 2 or 3 water (sewer backup, toilet overflow, storm water), do not touch the water at all.
Report the event to your insurer as soon as possible. Confirm whether your policy includes coverage for the type of water event you've experienced. Keep all receipts for emergency expenses, most policies cover additional living costs if your home is uninhabitable.
