You can expect a quick response time because we are available 24/7. Once on-site, our team will investigate the cause of the damage and build a step-by-step plan to restore your property. As a full-service restoration company, Walsh Restoration handles everything, from initial cleanup to final repairs. This means we will coordinate between all pertaining parties—including your insurance company and subcontractors—to manage your entire project from start to finish, so you don't have to.

Emergency Response Our emergency response involves cleaning, drying, sanitizing, and demolition to the affected parts of your property to bring it back to dry standard. Abatement If your property was built before 1990, asbestos testing needs to be done before we can start work. If the asbestos test comes back positive, we will need to coordinate abatement to ensure the hazardous materials are removed and properly disposed. Repairs Once your property is dry, some areas may need to be reconstructed. These repairs may include painting, flooring, and cabinetry to bring your property back to its pre-loss condition.

It depends on the type and extent of damage. We clean and move your salvageable items away from the damaged areas. If the property damage is severe, we will coordinate moving your belongings to a secure, off-site facility until our work is done. Any non-recoverable items are documented and disposed of with your approval.

If your property was built prior to 1990, asbestos may be present in the building materials. B.C.’s regulations require a hazardous materials survey to be completed before any demolition work can begin. Failing to comply with WorkSafeBC’s requirements can lead to fines, work stop orders, and severe health risks.

Even if you have previously renovated your house that was built prior to 1990, we will still need to test for asbestos.

Building permits ensure that construction projects comply with the BC Building Code and other laws and regulations. They are required when projects require construction, renovation, demolition, or alterations to a structure.

It depends on your insurance coverage. We can provide your insurance adjuster with our recommended scope of work, and they will let us know what amounts are covered by your policy.

We provide a free assessment and scope of work directly to your strata or insurance company. Repair contracts are usually awarded based on a fixed quote. If your insurance company chooses Walsh Restoration to complete your repairs, we will work with you on a projected timeline to complete the work.
