When to loop us in
The strongest claim files include a written pro assessment before the first adjuster call. We turn those around in 48 hours and share directly with the carrier.
Photos adjusters actually want
Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior leak repair report or invoice.
Common questions
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Erin?
Yes. Condo boards in Erin typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does leak repair take in Erin?
2–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
When's the best time of year for leak repair in Erin?
Late September through mid-November with Erin averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does leak repair cost in Erin?
Most Erin jobs land between $398 and $637. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,034. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for leak repair in Erin?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Erin. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day leak repair in Erin?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Erin for most standard scopes.
Is leak repair covered by home insurance in Erin?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
