Water Damage

Expert Water Cleanup and Restoration Across Nova Scotia

Water emergencies can strike at any time, whether from a burst pipe, heavy rain, or sewer backup. At SystemCare, we specialize in comprehensive water-related services, including water damage restoration, water cleanup, flood damage repair, sewage damage remediation, restorative drying, and dehumidification. With over 25 years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we’re here to protect your property and restore it to its pre-loss condition.

Water Damage and Why It Matters

The impact of water damage goes beyond what’s visible. Moisture can weaken wooden beams, warp flooring, and ruin drywall, compromising your property’s structural integrity. Electronics, furniture, and personal belongings may suffer irreversible harm if not addressed quickly. Perhaps most concerning is the risk of mould growth, which can start within 24-48 hours in damp conditions. Mould not only damages materials but can also trigger respiratory issues and other health concerns, especially for those with allergies or compromised immune systems.

The type of water involved matters too. Clean water from a pipe leak is less dangerous than “gray” water from an appliance or “black” water from sewage, which carries pathogens requiring specialized cleanup. Regardless of the source, time is critical. Delaying action can escalate repair costs, prolong disruptions, and increase health risks. Whether you’re facing a small leak or widespread flood damage, professional intervention ensures the problem is tackled thoroughly to prevent long-term consequences.

Our Water-Related Services

Water Damage Restoration

When water invades your property, our certified technicians step in to assess the damage, stop the source, and restore your space. We handle everything from minor leaks to major water emergencies with precision and care.

Water Cleanup

Effective water cleanup is essential to prevent further harm. We remove standing water from floors, carpets, and fragile surfaces like wood or upholstery, using advanced extraction tools to ensure no moisture lingers.

Flood Damage Repair

Floods can devastate homes and businesses, bringing water, mud, and debris. Our flood damage services include thorough cleanup, structural repairs, and content restoration to recover your property fully.

Sewage Damage Remediation

Sewage damage requires specialized handling due to its hazardous nature. We safely extract contaminated water, sanitize affected areas, and restore your space to a safe, livable condition.

Restorative Drying

After water removal, restorative drying ensures your property is thoroughly dried to prevent mould or warping. We install drying equipment like air movers and monitor progress with moisture-sensing tools.

Dehumidification

Excess humidity can linger after a water event, threatening air quality and structures. Our dehumidification process uses industrial-grade dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air and materials, ensuring a complete recovery

What to Do If You Experience Water Damage

 
If you’re facing a water emergency, take these steps to minimize damage before we arrive:
 
  1. Stop the Water Source: Turn off any interior water supply causing the issue, if safe to do so.
  2. Check Ceilings: Inspect water-soaked ceilings for signs of collapse and puncture small holes to release trapped water.
  3. Protect Items: Move household items to a dry area or cover them with a waterproof tarp to avoid further damage.
  4. Remove Excess Water: Wipe or mop water from fragile surfaces like wood or upholstery.
  5. Call SystemCare: Contact your nearest SystemCare location to help you mitigate the damages.
  6. Notify Your Insurer: Report the claim to your insurance company for coverage support.

Restorative Drying and Dehumidification

Drying a property after water damage isn’t just about removing visible water—it’s a precise process called psychrometry. Our IICRC-certified technicians use this science to:
  • Install Drying Equipment: We strategically place dehumidifiers and air movers to dry structures and contents.
  • Monitor Moisture Levels: Using moisture meters, we measure humidity in the air outside, inside, and within materials to be dried, daily until everything is officially dry.
  • Document Progress: We record data to ensure the drying process meets industry standards and prevents future issues like mould.
This thorough approach ensures your property is restored safely and effectively, whether it’s a small leak or widespread flood damage.
