A clear answer for your claim: repair it, or don't
After a flood or other damage, the appliances are often the big question on an insurance claim. The washer and dryer sat in water, the freezer in the basement went under, the dishwasher leaked into the kitchen. Do they need replacing, or can they be fixed?
We do insurance claim inspections on houses for floods and other damage. We're certified to inspect appliances, so we go through each one with a detailed inspection checklist and tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing or not worth repairing. You get a written report with photos that you can send to your insurance adjuster.
For the appliances that are worth fixing, we can do the repair too, with a flat-rate estimate before any work starts.

When to book an inspection
- Your insurance company or adjuster needs to know the state of the appliances
- An appliance sat in water, even for a short time
- An appliance stopped working after a leak or damage
- You're not sure an appliance is safe to turn back on
- You need to know whether to repair or replace before you decide
- It's a rental or cottage and you need someone to check on your behalf
Simple, safe things to try
Before we arrive
- Don't plug in or turn on any appliance that sat in water.
- Only switch off a breaker if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
- Take photos of the appliances and of how high the water came.
- Write down the brand and model numbers, or photograph the stickers.
- Check with your insurer before you throw any appliance out.
- Tell us your claim number and adjuster's name if you have them.
When to stop and call
Stay safe. Don't…
- Step into standing water near outlets or appliances
- Try to dry out and restart a flooded appliance yourself
- Use an appliance that sparks, trips the breaker or smells burnt
- Open up appliance panels to look inside
- Throw out damaged appliances before your insurer says it's okay
- Plug in anything that's still wet
If there's water near your electrical panel, stay out of it and get help first. Call or text 905-531-7000.

Such a pleasant experience with these guys! They were able to repair my leaking refrigerator in an hour and the cost was very reasonable.
We were having a little problem with our dryer and I called in for solution. The next day Wes solved the problem. I will definitely recommend him.
