Best water damage restoration companies in Toronto

Updated 2026-08-12 · 10,132 reviewed · 181 listed · 15 top picks · Scored from 1,408 Google reviews · How we rank ›

This list ranks the 15 highest-scoring water damage restoration companies in Toronto, from basement waterproofing crews to emergency flood and mold remediation teams, using our methodology that weighs rating, review volume, recency, and sentiment together. Most of these outfits handle the full spectrum of the job: extraction, drying, mold treatment, and structural waterproofing, so this is one combined ranking rather than split by specialty.

Fire and smoke damage cleanup is judged separately, since it calls for different equipment and certifications; see our best fire & smoke damage restoration list for that ranking. This page is ordered by composite score, with companies that have thinner review histories flagged accordingly.

Picks are ranked by score and relevance to water damage restoration service, so a lower overall score can rank higher here.

Direct Basement Waterproofing Toronto

5 (128 reviews)score 92/100

Direct Basement Waterproofing Toronto

This crew posts the highest composite score on the list, built on a perfect rating across 128 reviews and near-flawless recency and completeness scores. Reviewers describe exterior waterproofing, sump pumps, and backwater valve work that holds up through heavy rain months later, done by a team that visits daily and leaves the site clean.

  • Basements reported dry through heavy rain months after the job
  • Responsive management checks in daily during the work
  • The team pricing with no pressure to add extras
  • Often finishes ahead of the quoted timeline

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service, insurance claims assistance

Aquamaster Basement Waterproofing Toronto

4.9 (281 reviews)score 91/100

Aquamaster Basement Waterproofing Toronto

With 281 reviews at a 4.9 average, this is the highest review volume on the list, and the sentiment holds up: reviewers point to accurate moisture and foundation diagnosis, fast quote turnaround, and dry results verified after heavy rain. One account of two missed appointments is the outlier against a large run of five-star feedback.

  • Quotes turned around within 24 hours in reported cases
  • The team membrane and interior drainage work done carefully
  • Spotless interiors after excavation and backfill
  • The team holding up through heavy rain, per reviewers

Watch out: One reviewer reported a no-show with no follow-up, against a large base of five-star reviews.

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service, structural drying dehumidification

CleanFirst Restoration

4.9 (100 reviews)score 90/100

CleanFirst Restoration

This team scores well on sentiment, with reviewers highlighting fast, transparent mold inspections and honest, non-alarmist advice rather than upsell pressure. Weekend availability and photo updates during the job come up repeatedly, and the 100-review base gives this a medium-confidence but solid read.

  • Same-day or weekend response for mold jobs
  • Transparent, non-alarmist assessments
  • Photo updates and cost adjustments shared during work
  • The team and crawl space mold expertise

Services: 24 7 emergency response, fire smoke restoration, sewage cleanup, flood water extraction

Ultimate Mold Crew - Mold Removal Toronto

4.9 (77 reviews)score 89/100

Ultimate Mold Crew - Mold Removal Toronto

Two decades of operation back this team's 4.9 rating, and reviewers single out the practice of tracing mold to its source (ventilation gaps, waterproofing failures) instead of just clearing what's visible. The team before-and-after photo reports and remediation certificates give homeowners a paper trail, and no complaints turn up in the review pool.

  • IICRC-CMRC and CMR certified technicians
  • Diagnoses root causes, not just surface mold
  • Before-and-after photos and certificates emailed after service
  • The team remote consultations for out-of-province clients

Services: 24 7 emergency response, fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation

CD Flood & Sewer Water Damage Cleanup

5 (386 reviews)score 87/100

CD Flood & Sewer Water Damage Cleanup

With 386 reviews at a near-perfect 5.0 rating, this is the largest review base on the list, and the pattern is consistent: technicians arrive within about an hour of a call and walk homeowners through burst pipes, sewage backups, or storm flooding step by step. One older complaint about unanswered follow-up emails stands against 385 five-star reviews.

  • Reported arrival within an hour of an emergency call
  • The team explain each step as they work
  • Thorough drying and mold-prevention treatment after extraction
  • Same-day service on major backups

Watch out: One reviewer described being unable to get email follow-up after an initial call.

Services: fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service

The Mold Guy

4.7 (288 reviews)score 85/100

The Mold Guy

This team draws 288 reviews at a 4.7 average, with most appointments booked same-day or within 30 minutes and staff earning specific praise for clear explanations of findings. A couple of reviewers had rougher phone experiences and one flagged a rushed inspection with a cash deposit request, which pulls the sentiment score down slightly relative to others on this list.

  • Same-day or 30-minute inspection response typical
  • Findings explained clearly with documentation delivered fast
  • Clean, courteous work on-site
  • The team quality testing and attic work available across the GTA

Watch out: A few reviewers described poor phone communication and an inspection that felt rushed.

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service, insurance claims assistance

TRUFORCE LTD.

5 (25 reviews)score 81/100

TRUFORCE LTD.

All 25 reviews here are five-star, and reviewers describe rapid arrival, IICRC-certified crews, and transparent pricing across mold removal, water extraction, and ceiling repair. The review count is smaller than the leaders on this list, but the sentiment score is among the strongest of any business here.

  • Rapid emergency response reported consistently
  • IICRC-certified team with high-end drying equipment
  • Repair and finishing work praised alongside remediation
  • Transparent, honest pricing with no complaints on record

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service, structural drying dehumidification

IcyReno Waterproofing & Underpinning Leslieville

5 (10 reviews)score 80/100

IcyReno Waterproofing & Underpinning Leslieville

All ten recent reviews are five-star, and this Leslieville-based team stands out for having a licensed structural engineer on staff and the team of Toronto permit approval for its work. Review volume is modest, so treat this as a promising, medium-confidence pick rather than a proven track record at scale.

  • The team structural engineer on staff
  • The team of Toronto permit-approved work
  • Bonded, insured, and licensed
  • Dry-basement results reported across all recent reviews

Services: flood water extraction, water damage restoration service

MOLD REMOVAL TORONTO LTD

5 (8 reviews)score 79/100

MOLD REMOVAL TORONTO LTD

Eight reviews, all five stars, point to thorough mold inspections behind walls and in attics, competitive pricing, and preventive moisture advice after the job. It's a small sample, so this is a lower-confidence pick worth pairing with a second opinion for larger jobs.

  • The team mold remediation specialist (Lic. #MRSR911)
  • Competitive pricing on mold work

Services: fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service

The Restorators - Toronto

4.6 (67 reviews)score 75/100

The Restorators - Toronto

This team handles the emergency mitigation side well, with 67 reviews backing fast arrival and hands-on insurance claim support. The sentiment score is pulled down by a real pattern of complaints: several reviewers reported final invoices well above the initial quote and rebuild timelines stretching to months once the owner stepped back from day-to-day oversight.

  • Fast response even for late-night emergencies
  • Professional crews for initial mitigation work
  • Helps manage the insurance claim process
  • Stores belongings on-site during restoration

Watch out: Several reviewers reported invoices far exceeding initial quotes and slow, hard-to-reach follow-up during rebuild phases.

Services: 24 7 emergency response, fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation

Mold.ca

4.7 (16 reviews)score 74/100

Mold.ca

With nearly two decades in business, this team is known for telling homeowners when a DIY fix will do instead of pushing paid remediation, and reviewers describe thorough follow-up once work is agreed. Review volume is on the lower side, so the confidence rating here is low despite the strong sentiment.

  • Staff often suggest DIY steps before recommending paid work
  • Same-day or next-day consultation common
  • The team cleanup praised across many years of reviews
  • Follows up after the job is finished

Watch out: One reviewer, years ago, alleged the work overpromised and underdelivered.

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service

Pro Max Restoration of Downtown

5 (10 reviews)score 73/100

Pro Max Restoration of Downtown

All ten reviews are five-star, with reviewers citing fast turnaround and support navigating insurance claims on mold, basement water damage, and burst pipe jobs. The review pool is small and light on specifics, so this is a lower-confidence pick worth a direct conversation before committing to larger work.

  • Fast emergency response reported
  • Professional handling of mold and water jobs
  • Insurance claims assistance included
  • The team documentation of the work

Services: flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service, insurance claims assistance

ONT Restoration services

5 (6 reviews)score 71/100

ONT Restoration services

Six reviews, all five stars, describe dispatch within 30 to 45 minutes and staff who manage the insurance claim from start to finish. The team is quoted upfront rather than after assessment, which reviewers called out specifically, though the sample size keeps this a low-confidence pick.

  • Reported response within 30-45 minutes
  • Staff manage insurance claims end-to-end

Services: 24 7 emergency response, fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation

5 Star Dry All - Water Restoration Toronto

5 (4 reviews)score 71/100

5 Star Dry All - Water Restoration Toronto

All four reviews describe fast emergency dispatch and thorough drying and cleanup at reasonable rates, with IICRC water damage certification backing the crew. The review count is small, so this sits at the lower-confidence end of the list despite the positive feedback.

  • Fast emergency dispatch reported
  • IICRC water damage certified

Services: fire smoke restoration, flood water extraction, mold remediation, water damage restoration service

Fast Dry Restoration

5 (2 reviews)score 70/100

Fast Dry Restoration

Both reviews on file praise rapid response and professional workmanship, and the business advertises 24-hour emergency coverage across the GTA. With only two reviews to go on, treat this as an unproven, low-confidence option until more feedback accumulates.

  • 24-hour emergency response advertised
  • Quick response time noted by both reviewers

Watch out: Only two reviews are on record, so there's little to judge consistency by.

Services: flood water extraction, water damage restoration service
