Does home insurance cover basement flooding in Ontario?
Basement flooding coverage depends on the cause of the damage, your insurance policy, and any additional coverage you purchased. Property Worx documents the damage and prepares a restoration scope to support your claim. Your insurer determines whether the loss is covered, the applicable limits, and your deductible. Contact your insurer to confirm coverage for your specific situation.
How long does it take to dry a flooded basement?
Property Worx typically dries flooded basements in three to five days using commercial air movers and dehumidifiers. Drying may take longer depending on the amount of water, affected materials, and moisture trapped behind walls or flooring. We monitor moisture readings daily to determine when drying is complete. Repairs and reconstruction require additional time.
Can Property Worx bill my insurance company directly for restoration work?
Yes. Property Worx can coordinate with your insurance adjuster and bill your insurer directly for approved restoration work. We prepare estimates in Xactimate and provide supporting documentation. Depending on your policy and claim approval, you may be responsible for a deductible, costs above coverage limits, non-covered work, or optional upgrades.
