Need to renovate after a disaster?

Water is essential to the wellbeing of humans, but as we know, this natural element can be both a blessing and a curse. Flooding is common in regions with high rainfall levels and proximity to large bodies of water.

Water infiltrations into your basement can be caused by a wide variety of things. These can include heavy rainfall on the building's envelope, poorly sealed windows, doors and exterior walls as well as storm sewers backing up.

Whether small or large-scale, when disaster strikes, it generally causes a great deal of stress, not to mention dealing with claims and negotiating with your insurance company for reimbursement. Needless to say, this is one trial you’d be happy to forget about. If you’re at a loss and aren’t sure which way is up, rely on the steps detailed by the Chambre de l’assurance de dommages (ChAD).
