Is the Water Already Out? We Can Help With What Comes Next.
After a basement flood, you can be left with an empty or partially stripped basement long after the emergency is over.
Drywall may have been cut away. Flooring may be gone. Baseboards, doors or insulation may have been removed. Some rooms may need only a few repairs, while others need to be rebuilt almost from the ground up.
That's the part Hughes Home Services can help with. We take a practical look at what was damaged, what has already been removed and what needs to be put back so you can get your basement usable again.
Tell Us About Your BasementWhat Can We Repair After a Basement Flood?
Every flood is different. Depending on what was damaged, your basement restoration may include:
- Drywall and wall repairs
- Damaged flooring replacement
- Baseboards, moulding and trim
- Interior doors and frames
- Wall and ceiling repairs
- Painting and finishing
- Minor carpentry and framing repairs
- Repairs around damaged rooms and built-in features
- General basement reconstruction
- Finishing work needed to make the space feel like your home again
If only part of your basement was affected, we can focus on that area. If the damage is more extensive, we can discuss a larger restoration.

A flooded basement doesn't automatically need to become a complete basement renovation.
At Hughes Home Services, we're used to the small and medium-sized projects that can fall awkwardly between a simple handyman visit and a large renovation company.
We'll look at the actual condition of your basement and help determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
That may mean restoring one room, rebuilding the lower portion of several walls, replacing flooring throughout the basement, or completing a larger combination of repairs.
Our goal is straightforward: get your basement repaired properly and get your home back in order.
A Straightforward Basement Restoration Process
Tell Us What Happened
Let us know which parts of the basement were affected, what has already been removed and whether you're working with an insurance company. Photos are helpful if you have them.
We'll Look at the Work
We'll assess the areas that need rebuilding and talk through what you want restored. If there are issues that need another specialist before reconstruction can begin, we'll tell you rather than covering them up.
Get a Clear Quote
We'll establish the work that needs to be completed before getting started. If you have an active insurance claim, let us know what information your insurer or adjuster needs from you before the work begins.
Repair and Rebuild
Our team completes the agreed repairs, from walls and flooring through trim, painting and finishing. Wendall remains involved on site, working with the team and communicating with homeowners throughout the project.
Get Your Basement Back
We finish the details, clean up the work area and leave you with a basement that feels like part of your home again.
Helping Ottawa Homeowners Rebuild After This Summer's Flooding
The flooding Ottawa experienced this summer left thousands of homeowners dealing with damaged basements.

Basement Flood Restoration FAQs
-
This service is focused on repairing and rebuilding your basement after the immediate flooding problem has been addressed. If water is still entering the basement, standing water remains, or there are electrical, sewage or other safety concerns, those issues should be handled before reconstruction begins. Once the basement is safe and ready to repair, give us a call.
-
Yes. That's an ideal time to contact us. Tell us what was removed and what you'd like restored, and we'll assess the remaining repair and finishing work.
-
Yes. Not every flood requires a complete basement rebuild. If the damage is limited to one room, one wall or certain finishes, we can discuss repairing just those areas.
-
Any unresolved moisture or significant mould problem should be properly dealt with before new finishes are installed. We don't want to hide an underlying problem behind new drywall. Once the affected area is safe, dry and ready for reconstruction, we can help with the repair work.
-
Yes, we can quote the repair work. If you have an active claim, contact your insurer or adjuster first and let us know what documentation or approvals they require before construction begins.
-
It depends on the work being completed. Simple finish repairs such as replacing flooring may not require a permit, while structural repairs or certain changes to insulation or other building components can. We can discuss the proposed work with you, but the City of Ottawa determines when a permit is required.
-
Yes. Tell us what's happened to your basement and we'll arrange to discuss the project with you.
