Inclement weather is a Canadian reality. According to Stats Canada, in 2014, more than 12.4 million Canadians aged 15 years and older reported having personally experienced a major emergency or disaster within their community in their lifetime; nearly three in four (73 per cent) indicated that the emergency was significant enough to have severely disrupted their regular daily routine.
Unfortunately, the threat of disasters such as floods, mould, and fires are a reality of home ownership. Don’t fret! These proven franchise concepts are providing restoration services to put Canadians across the country at ease when disaster strikes!
