What to know about Fire restoration
Fire damage restoration is the work of making a home safe, clean and livable again after a fire. The damage often reaches well beyond the flames: smoke and soot travel into every room, the ductwork and the walls, and the water used to put out the fire soaks floors, drywall and insulation. Restoration covers all of it: securing the building, drying it, cleaning or removing what's affected, getting rid of the smoke odour and rebuilding.

Etobicoke is one of the areas we list inside Toronto. Pros draw their own service area — some name the suburb, some draw a radius that takes it in — so say where in Etobicoke the work is, and we match on the area each of them gave us.
Etobicoke is one of 28 places we list under the name Greater Toronto Area. A pro's service area might be Etobicoke on its own or the whole of that area — we match on the one they gave us.

- Testing and safe removal of mould or asbestos, where needed
How to choose restoration companies in Etobicoke
- Choose a contractor who finds the source of the water before recommending a fix, whether that's grading, eavestroughs, cracks or drainage.
- Ask them to explain the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing for your home, and why they recommend one.
- For foundation cracks that are wide, growing or uneven, ask whether a structural engineer should assess them first.
- For mould, asbestos or radon, hire professionals qualified for that specific work, and don't disturb suspect materials yourself.
- Get a written quote that lists excavation, membranes, weeping tile, sump pumps and restoration of landscaping or finishes.
Questions to ask restoration companies before you hire
- Where do you think the water is coming from, and how did you confirm it?
- Do you recommend interior or exterior waterproofing for my home, and why?
- Should a structural engineer look at these cracks or this wall?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality?
- Is your warranty transferable if I sell the house, and what does it cover?
- How will you restore the landscaping, driveway or basement finishes afterwards?
- If you find mould or asbestos, how will it be handled and by whom?
Fire restoration permits in Ontario
Some fire restoration work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.
