Vancouver gets hammered with rain from October through April, and older homes in neighbourhoods like Hastings-Sunrise or East Van often have basements and crawl spaces that weren't built to handle it. When a heavy downpour, a burst pipe, or a backed-up drain soaks your carpet or hardwood, the clock starts immediately — mould can set in within 24 to 48 hours. Protech Carpet Cleaners is based just out in Maple Ridge and gets to Vancouver properties quickly, with the extraction equipment and drying know-how to pull water out before the damage becomes permanent.

Many Vancouver homes still have original wood-subfloor construction that absorbs water faster than concrete slabs — which means even a small flood needs fast, proper drying, not just surface treatment. Metro Vancouver also has strict moisture and air quality standards for rental suites, so landlords especially can't afford to leave water damage unaddressed.
