Question 1

What should I do immediately after discovering water damage?

Accepted Answer

Stop the water source if you can — find your main shutoff and turn it off if it's a plumbing failure. Then call a professional water damage restoration company right away. The longer water sits, the more it absorbs into building materials, and the more expensive and complex the restoration becomes. Don't wait for your insurance company to call back first — begin mitigation immediately.

Question 2

How quickly can Regina Water Damage Restoration Co. respond?

Accepted Answer

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. We dispatch emergency calls as quickly as possible. For life-threatening emergencies involving electricity and water, call 911 first.

Question 3

Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?

Accepted Answer

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies in Saskatchewan cover sudden and accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance overflows, and similar events. Overland flooding and sewer backup typically require separate endorsements. We document every job thoroughly to support your claim, and we're experienced working with Saskatchewan insurance adjusters.

Question 4

How long does water damage restoration take?

Accepted Answer

The emergency mitigation phase — extraction and setup — can be completed in a single day. The structural drying phase typically takes 3 to 5 days for most residential scenarios. More complex jobs — multiple floors, thick assemblies, or delayed intervention — can take 7 days or more. Reconstruction after drying is a separate scope that depends on the extent of damage.

Question 5

What's the difference between water extraction and structural drying?

Accepted Answer

Water extraction removes standing and surface water using pumps and extractors — the visible water. Structural drying removes the moisture that has already been absorbed into your walls, floors, framing, and insulation. Both are necessary. Extraction without structural drying leaves your building at risk of mold growth and ongoing structural deterioration.

Question 6

Can mold grow after water damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mold can begin colonizing damp building materials within 24 to 48 hours under the right conditions. Proper structural drying, completed to IICRC standard, dramatically reduces the risk. This is one of the core reasons why professional water damage restoration matters — consumer drying equipment often leaves residual moisture that creates mold conditions months later.

Question 7

Do I need to vacate my home during restoration?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, homeowners can remain in unaffected parts of the property during the drying phase. The equipment is loud and the affected area will be warm and dry. Whether you need to vacate depends on the size of the affected area and your personal comfort. We'll give you an honest assessment when we arrive.

Question 8

What is IICRC certification and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) is the international standard-setting body for the restoration industry. IICRC certified technicians have been trained to the industry standard for water damage assessment and restoration. It means your job is being done to a defined, auditable standard — not just by feel.

Question 9

Does Regina Water Damage Restoration Co. handle insurance claims directly?

Accepted Answer

We work with your insurer and adjuster throughout the process, providing the documentation they need. We don't bill insurance directly in all cases — your policy determines the process — but we make the documentation and communication as smooth as possible.

Question 10

What causes most water damage in Regina homes?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes we see in Regina are burst or frozen pipes during cold weather, basement flooding from spring snowmelt and heavy rain events, sump pump failures, appliance leaks (dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators), and roof damage from hail and wind storms. Each one has a distinct damage profile, but they all benefit from the same fast response.

Question 11

Do you service areas outside Regina?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We service Regina and the surrounding region, including Moose Jaw, White City, Emerald Park, and other communities within our service area. Give us a call to confirm we cover your location.

Question 12

What equipment do you use for water damage restoration?

Accepted Answer

We use truck-mounted extraction units, commercial-grade submersible pumps, industrial air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, thermal imaging cameras, and calibrated moisture meters. All equipment is professional-grade and maintained for performance — it's meaningfully different from what you can rent at a hardware store.
