Basement taking water? Call now if it is active.
Days of rain, saturated ground, and overloaded storm systems — not a single burst pipe
We prioritize active flooding and return for monitoring as the event continues.
Sump failures and seepage are the typical call. Pumps and drying staged for GVA homes.
Yard and drain water is sanitized. We do not treat it as clean Category 1 by default.
Weather-event documentation for insurers who see hundreds of claims the same week.
The losses that spike across the GVA
During the river we extract and stabilize. When rainfall eases, we complete drying, inspect for hidden moisture, and rebuild. Waiting until “the storm is over” often means a wet structure for days.

Atmospheric rivers dump extraordinary rain on already-wet soil. Richmond lowlands, Burnaby slopes, and North Shore run-off all show up in our dispatch board the same week. Call early — crews book out when the whole region floods.
Shield treats these as flood restoration jobs with weather documentation. If your basement floods every Pineapple Express, ask about waterproofing after this dry-out.

Multi-day extreme rain that saturates soil and overwhelms drains and sumps — often basement seepage, window wells, and roof saturation across the Lower Mainland at once.
Call while water is entering if it is safe. Waiting until the event ends can leave a wet structure for days. We extract first, then complete drying after rainfall eases.
Yes. After this dry-out we can specify interior barriers and drainage upgrades so the next atmospheric river is not a third claim.
