Q&A
What should I do first if I have a sewer backup after heavy rain in Vancouver?
First, avoid using any drains or toilets to prevent further backup. Then, call FIR WTR immediately. Heavy rain can overwhelm local sewer systems, a common issue in our area. We provide 24/7 emergency response for sewer repair and damage restoration. Our team will assess the situation, stop the backup, begin the necessary cleanup to prevent contamination, and help you navigate the next steps, including coordination with your insurance if needed.
Does FIR WTR handle the entire restoration process after a plumbing leak?
Yes, we manage the complete process from emergency response to final repair. Our licensed technicians first stop the leak with expert plumbing repair. We then perform water extraction, drying, and dehumidification to prevent mold, which can start growing in 24 hours. For any resulting damage, we handle the restoration and can coordinate with local contractors for structural repairs, all while assisting you with insurance claims documentation.
I have a mold concern. Can you inspect even if I'm not sure I need remediation?
Absolutely. Elliott believes in providing clear guidance, whether you become a client or not. We offer thorough mold inspections to identify the source and extent of any growth. If remediation is needed, our certified team safely contains and removes the mold. If it's a minor issue, we'll explain your options and point you in the right direction. There's no obligation from an initial consultation.
