Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Burnaby: Minimize Downtime

Burnaby is a major business hub, with offices at Metrotown and Brentwood, tech campuses, retail at Metropolis and Lougheed, restaurants along Hastings and Kingsway, and industrial and warehouse space in Big Bend and near the Fraser River. When water damage hits a business, every hour closed costs money. Here’s how commercial water damage restoration works in Burnaby.

Common Causes of Commercial Water Damage

• Roof leaks on flat commercial roofs during long rainy stretches
• Sprinkler line failures, including freezes in unheated areas during cold snaps
• Plumbing and washroom failures in multi-tenant buildings
• HVAC condensate and rooftop unit leaks
• Restaurant kitchen leaks: dishwashers, ice machines, floor drains
• Groundwater and drainage issues in lower-level and industrial spaces near the river

Our Commercial Response

Assess and secure

We stop the source, identify hazards and protect staff and customers.

Extract and contain

Water is removed and affected areas are contained so the rest of your space can keep operating where possible.

Protect inventory and equipment

Stock, records and equipment are moved, raised or packed out.

Dry around your schedule

Drying plans keep exits, aisles and key areas open; noisy work can be scheduled after hours.
