“water leaking in my basement, got the best quote from proline, thank you and great job”
“The pipe gave out under our kitchen sink overnight, and we woke up to a flooded floor. The proline restoration team did an amazing job, and there were no surprises on the final bill, which I appreciated.”

What Happens When You Call
- Call. We confirm the source on the phone: sewer backup, sump failure, seepage or a burst pipe.
- On-site within 60 minutes. Tyvek and respirators for sewage, power off to wet areas, containment up.
- Extract. Standing water is usually gone within 90 minutes of arrival.
- Remove and dry. Wet materials come out (pre-1990 homes are tested for asbestos first), then 3-7 days of drying.
What It Costs
Most water damage restoration jobs run $2,500 to $15,000, depending on the water category, how much is wet and how long it sat. See the full water damage restoration cost breakdown.
Insurance and Your Claim
Sewer backup is only covered with a sewer backup endorsement, so check your policy. We document the source and the water category on-site and bill your insurer directly on most covered claims, so you pay your deductible.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewer backup is Category 3 water: it carries bacteria and has to be treated as a biohazard, not mopped up. Porous materials it touched come out, and every surface left gets antimicrobial treatment before drying.
Why Toronto Basements Flood
Old Toronto runs on combined sewers that carry storm and sanitary flow together. In heavy rain they surcharge and push water up through basement floor drains.
Claim the Toronto Subsidy After Your Flood
The City reimburses up to 80% of each invoice, to a maximum of $6,650 per property:
