EMERGENCY RESPONSE
A flooded basement doesn’t check the clock, and neither do we. VIP Restoration has spent two decades answering that call across Toronto and the GTA, burst pipes at 3am, sewage backups on a Sunday, a slow leak someone finally noticed too late. Our technicians carry IICRC certification, but what actually matters on site is judgment: knowing where water traveled that you can’t see, knowing what’s salvageable versus what isn’t, knowing how to keep a bad day from turning into a bad month.
We’re not a call center that dispatches whoever’s nearest, our crews live and work across Scarborough, Mississauga, Markham, Richmond Hill, Etobicoke, and the rest of the GTA, which means the technician who shows up already knows the area.
We pull water fast and dry your property before it becomes a bigger problem.

Professional from start to finish. They handled everything with our insurance company so we didn’t have to stress.
Our basement flooded overnight, and their crew had it dried out within days. Highly recommend.
They handled our office flood over a weekend without us losing a single business day. Fast, organized, and easy to work with.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, everything was clear and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for a better team.
