24 Hours Emergency Response
Water & Flood Mitigation in Edmonton
Early response to water and flood damage for homes and businesses in Edmonton and surrounding communities.
Early Response to Water Damage
When water is pouring in — or has only just stopped — what happens in the next few hours matters.
Call CRS Edmonton at (780) 455-5551. With 24 Hours Emergency Response, you can reach us day or night when a leak, burst pipe or flood affects your property.
What Is Water Mitigation?
Water mitigation focuses on the early response after water damage, with the goal of limiting the spread and impact of the loss before the full restoration process continues.
In simple terms: mitigation deals with the immediate situation, while restoration addresses the damage that remains afterwards.
Limiting the Impact of Water Damage
The right steps depend on where the water came from, how long it has been present and which materials are affected. CRS Edmonton reviews the affected areas and explains the steps that apply to your property.
What You Can Do While You Wait
- Stop the water source, if you can do so safely
- Stay out of wet areas where outlets or appliances may be affected
- Move small valuables and documents to a dry area, if it is safe
- Take photos of the damage for your records
Water Mitigation for Residential & Commercial Properties
Residential
A burst pipe, sump pump failure or overflowing fixture can affect more of your home than the room where it started. An early response helps keep the damage contained.
Commercial
In commercial and multi-unit buildings, a single leak can reach several units or floors. Early response helps limit how much of the building is affected.
Mitigation and Restoration: What Happens Next?
- Mitigation comes first: the early response aimed at limiting the spread and impact of the water damage.
- Restoration comes next: addressing the damage that remains once the immediate situation is under control.
