Frequently Asked

Common
questions.

The questions homeowners ask after a flood, fire, or mold discovery. Answered honestly and clearly.

Timelines depend on the disaster. Water mitigation usually takes 3 to 7 days for drying. Mold remediation runs 3 to 10 days depending on containment size. Fire jobs are the longest — soot cleanup and odor removal take 1 to 3 weeks, with reconstruction adding 4 to 12 weeks for major losses. We give you a written timeline before work starts.
Cost varies by the type and extent of damage. We offer free on-site evaluations and provide upfront Xactimate estimates before any work begins. Most water, fire, and sudden mold losses are covered under your homeowner's insurance policy — we bill the insurer directly so your out-of-pocket is limited to the deductible.
Most policies cover sudden and accidental damage — burst pipes, fires, smoke, and mold caused by a covered water loss. Long-term leaks and pre-existing mold are typically excluded. We work with every major Canadian carrier, document the loss properly, and guide you through the claim from first call to final payout.
First, make sure everyone is safe and the source is controlled — water shut off, fire fully extinguished by the fire department, mold area sealed off. Don't touch soot or disturb mold. Document with photos if safe to do so, then call us at (647) 493-4887. We'll be on-site within 60 minutes to stop further damage and start the claim.
Yes — when it's done correctly. Surface cleaning alone won't do it because soot and odor molecules embed in porous materials. We use HEPA filtration, hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, and selective demolition of unsalvageable materials. We don't sign off until an air quality test confirms the property is clean.
Surface mold under 10 sq ft on a hard surface can be cleaned by a homeowner. Anything larger, anything inside a wall cavity, or anything in an HVAC system needs professional containment — disturbing it spreads spores through the property. We follow Health Canada and IICRC S520 protocols and provide post-clearance air testing.

Biohazard · Trauma · Crime Scene

Biohazard Remediation, performed with care and discretion.

Trauma, unattended death, and crime scene cleanup across Toronto and the GTA. Discreet, certified, insurance billed direct.

A note before we start
You are not expected to handle this on your own. The work we do exists for moments no one prepares for — the only thing on your shoulders right now should be the next phone call. Everything after that is ours.
From the team at Cakewalk Restore
What we handle

Specialized cleanup, performed with the care the moment requires.

Every scene is different. Every scene is met by certified technicians trained in OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and IICRC S540 trauma cleanup protocols — and trained, just as carefully, in how to be present in a home that is grieving.
Unattended Death

Decomposition & biological cleanup

Complete decontamination of biological matter, odor neutralization at the molecular level, and full restoration of the affected materials — thorough, dignified, and quietly handled.

IICRC S540 · Health Canada
Suicide

Trauma scene remediation

Performed with the deepest respect for the family and the home. Trained, compassionate technicians remove every trace so loved ones never have to confront the scene.

Confidential · Family-first
Trauma & Accident

Industrial & household incidents

Workplace accidents, vehicle incidents on private property, household injuries. We work alongside first responders and document every scope item for insurance.

Documented for insurer
Crime Scene

Post-investigation cleanup

After investigators release the property, we coordinate with police, document chain-of-custody for insurance, and remove every trace — from blood evidence to fingerprint powder.

Police-coordinated
Infectious Disease

Pathogen decontamination

C. difficile, MRSA, hepatitis, COVID outbreaks. Hospital-grade disinfection and post-clearance ATP testing to verify a fully decontaminated space before re-entry.

EPA disinfectants · ATP verified
Hoarding & Filth

Compassionate property recovery

Non-judgmental remediation working alongside families and social workers. Sorting, decontamination, and restoration to a safe and livable home.

Discreet · Family-led
Our promise

Four things we never compromise.

Discretion

Unmarked. Unspoken.

Plain white vehicles. Generic uniforms. No company logos visible to neighbors. We protect your privacy as carefully as we restore your home.

Compassion

Trained for the human side.

Every technician completes trauma response training before going on-site. Calm, quiet, respectful — we work around grief, not through it.

Certification

Regulated standards.

OSHA bloodborne pathogen compliant. IICRC S540 certified. Health Canada protocols. Documented chain-of-custody for forensic-relevant materials.

Coverage

Most policies pay.

Most homeowner and tenant policies cover biohazard remediation. We bill the carrier directly — you don't mediate the conversation.

What to expect

From your first call to a fully restored space.

You don't need to know what to ask, what to look for, or what comes next. We walk every family through the process step by step, in plain language, at whatever pace works for them.
01
Minute 0

You call. We answer.

A live remediation specialist takes your call any hour. We listen first, then dispatch a team in unmarked vehicles immediately.

02
Within 60 min

Discreet on-site assessment.

The crew lead walks the scene with you — or without. Many families prefer to step away. We document, then confirm scope before any work begins.

03
Same day

Containment & remediation.

Containment barriers, biohazard PPE, removal of affected materials, hospital-grade disinfection of every surface, and air scrubbing throughout.

04
Final day

Verified clearance & rebuild.

ATP and air-quality testing verify decontamination. We coordinate any reconstruction so you walk back into a fully restored space — not a reminder.

Insurance & certifications

Most families pay nothing out of pocket.

Biohazard remediation is one of the most commonly covered claims under Canadian homeowner and tenant policies — but the language is buried, the paperwork is heavy, and most adjusters expect you to know exactly what to ask for. We don't expect that of you.

  • Direct billing to every major Canadian insurance carrier
  • Photo documentation, scope-of-loss reports, Xactimate estimates
  • We talk to your adjuster directly — you don't need to mediate
  • If your claim is denied, we offer flexible payment terms
IICRC S540

Trauma & Crime Scene

Industry standard certification for biohazard and trauma scene remediation. Required by most carriers.

OSHA 1910.1030
