FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers from the Bay Street desk — Toronto, Vaughan, and North York.
How fast can Shield respond to a water damage emergency in Toronto?
Shield targets an hour for water emergencies across Toronto, Vaughan, and North York. The Bay Street desk assigns the nearest office — Brisbane, 234 Bay, Terra, or Carnforth — 24/7, with extraction and drying gear already on the truck.
Is Shield available 24 hours a day for water damage?
Yes. The Bay Street desk is staffed around the clock. A person picks up — not a voicemail tree — and routes night, weekend, and holiday losses throughout the GTA.
What should I do while waiting for the water damage team to arrive?
If it is safe, shut off the main water supply for a burst pipe. Move valuables and electronics to higher ground, avoid standing water because of electrical hazards, do not use fans on sewage-contaminated water, and take photos of the damage for your insurance claim. Your safety comes first.
What do I do if a pipe bursts in my Toronto condo or apartment?
Shut off the water at the suite or building valve if you can, then call Shield. In a stacked condo, tell the super so they can isolate the riser. Move belongings off the wet floor, keep electrical outlets clear, and wait for extraction. We dry the assembly and coordinate with the board.
Does Shield work with insurance companies?
Yes. Shield works with Ontario home and commercial carriers. We document Category rating, moisture maps, photos, and drying logs, and we can speak with your adjuster or attend the site inspection.
Will Shield help with my water damage insurance claim?
Yes. We provide documentation your carrier needs, including scope of damage, moisture maps, drying logs, and a written estimate. We can communicate directly with your adjuster and attend the on-site inspection when scheduled.
