Home Services
Out of Surrey, Taylor Restoration Services runs a 24/7 emergency crew serving North Vancouver basements and suites hit by flood, fire, or sewer backup. Every technician is IICRC certified, and the company holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating with two decades of Lower Mainland calls logged.
The phone at Taylor Restoration Services rings at odd hours, and the crews that answer it load extraction pumps, industrial air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, and calibrated moisture meters into marked vans before pulling out of the Surrey yard. Most calls trace back to a flooded basement after a heavy rainstorm, a burst pipe frozen during a January cold snap, a dishwasher leak that soaked the kitchen floor, or a sewer line that gave up at the worst possible moment. A surprising number also come from upstairs neighbors whose washing machine hose let go and sent water through the ceiling of the suite below. Dispatch aims to put a cleanup crew on site within the hour, and every technician on staff holds certification through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, follows WorkSafeBC procedures, and carries the documentation that insurance adjusters expect on first inspection.
Fire jobs follow a longer rhythm, beginning with emergency pre-cleaning and corrosion mitigation, then moving into content pack-out, wall and ceiling washing, and full smoke deodorization. The same crew handles break-and-enter board-ups, document and book drying, electronics restoration, appliance servicing, art recovery, vacuuming glass from a forced entry, and the structural repairs that come once a space is fully dry and safe. Adjusters and homeowners on the North Shore deal with one project manager from the first call to the final walkthrough, and the company works directly with insurers so the paperwork does not pile up on top of the disaster itself. Founded in 2006, Taylor Restoration has held an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau for years and routinely takes on jobs in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The team handles both residential losses and commercial water-damage claims, with the same crew often running the reconstruction phase after the drying equipment comes out.
Based outside North Vancouver and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
