Open 24/7 for emergencies in Prince George, BC
Burst pipe, leaking water heater or flooded basement? PG Restorations extracts the water, dries your home properly and repairs the damage. We answer 24/7 and work directly with your insurance company.
Water damage restoration is the process of removing water from a building, drying the structure and contents to safe moisture levels, cleaning and disinfecting affected areas, preventing mould, and repairing damaged materials. Starting within the first 24 to 48 hours greatly lowers the risk of mould and costly repairs.
Water spreads fast. It soaks into drywall, wicks up baseboards, runs under flooring and settles in wall cavities you cannot see. What looks like a small leak on the surface can leave hidden moisture that grows mould and weakens materials over time.
Our Prince George crew finds every wet area with moisture meters and thermal imaging, removes the water, and dries your home with commercial equipment. Then we repair what was damaged, so you deal with one local company from the first call to the final coat of paint.
Prince George cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces and garages. When they thaw, they burst. We respond fast to stop the spread.
Failed water heaters, washing machine hoses, dishwashers and fridge lines can release hundreds of litres before anyone notices.
Ice dams and melting snow push water under shingles and into ceilings and attics, often in late winter.
Failed sump pumps, high groundwater and foundation cracks let water into basements. See our flood damage restoration service.
Overflows and drain backups need careful cleanup because the water may be contaminated.
After a fire, the water used to put it out causes its own damage. We dry it as part of fire damage restoration.

We restore houses, basement suites, condos, rental properties, offices, retail stores and restaurants across Prince George. For businesses, we plan drying and repairs around your hours to keep you open where possible.
The cost depends on how much area is wet, whether the water is clean or contaminated, how long it has been sitting, and what needs to be repaired. After we inspect, we give you a written scope and estimate. If the loss is covered by your home insurance, you usually only pay your deductible.
Extraction usually happens the same day. Drying typically takes 3 to 5 days. Repairs such as drywall, flooring and paint depend on the size of the job and can take from a few days to a few weeks.
Household fans dry surfaces but rarely dry wall cavities, subfloors and insulation. Trapped moisture can lead to mould, warped floors and odours weeks later. We use commercial dehumidifiers, air movers and moisture meters to confirm everything is fully dry.
Most BC home insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from a burst pipe in a heated home. Damage from long-term leaks or lack of maintenance is often excluded. Check your policy, and we will document the loss for your adjuster.
Most of the time, no. Drying equipment is noisy but safe, and we contain work areas. If the kitchen, only bathroom or a large part of the home is affected, or if there is sewage, we will tell you honestly and help with your insurer about temporary living costs.
Every hour counts with water damage. Call PG Restorations and a Prince George crew will be on the way.
