Sewer Backup Restoration Toronto LLC delivers full sewage damage restoration throughout Toronto, Ontario. Sewage contamination damages 4 to 6 building materials on average per incident. Complete restoration takes 3 to 7 days depending on the scope of structural damage.
What Structural Damage Does Sewage Contamination Cause?
- Drywall deterioration: Sewage wicks upward through drywall at a rate of 2.5 cm per hour, requiring removal 30 cm above the visible water line
- Subfloor warping: Plywood and OSB subfloors swell and delaminate after 48 hours of sewage contact
- Hardwood buckling: Solid hardwood absorbs Category 3 water and cannot be salvaged per IICRC S500
- Carpet and underpad destruction: All carpet padding exposed to sewage requires disposal — no exceptions under IICRC standards
- Baseboard and trim swelling: MDF trim absorbs contaminated water and harbours bacteria in its fibre core
- Insulation contamination: Fibreglass and cellulose insulation in wall cavities trap sewage pathogens indefinitely
- Concrete etching: Prolonged sewage contact degrades unsealed concrete basement floors

Is Professional Restoration Required After Sewage Damage?
First, incomplete decontamination leaves pathogenic bacteria in wall cavities and subfloor seams. Household disinfectants do not reach embedded contaminants. Second, improper drying causes secondary mold growth within 48 hours — a problem that costs $3,000 to $8,000 CAD to remediate separately. Third, Ontario insurance companies deny claims when unqualified individuals perform sewage restoration.
