Small water issues don’t generally stay that way for long. A slow drip under the sink turns into swollen cabinetry. A little dampness in the basement turns into a musty smell that won’t go away. A backed-up drain during a storm turns into water across the floor faster than most homeowners expect. What starts as a minor inconvenience has a way of growing into a repair project that touches far more of the house than anyone anticipated.
Desa Contracting & Restoration is built to stop that early. Serving Ajax with a 24/7 emergency line, the company’s IICRC certified technicians respond with moisture meters and thermal imaging equipment to find water wherever it has traveled, including behind walls and under flooring where it isn’t visible. Extraction and industrial-grade drying equipment come next, followed by ongoing moisture checks to confirm the structure is genuinely dry, not just dry to the touch, before any repairs begin.
What makes the process easier on homeowners is that Desa handles the entire timeline under one roof. The same crew that removes water and dries out a home also completes the rebuild, whether that’s a basement, a kitchen, or full structural repairs, and the company communicates directly with insurance adjusters so homeowners aren’t stuck managing claims paperwork during an already disruptive time.
Water damage and mold are closely linked, since mold can take hold within 24 to 48 hours of a leak going unaddressed. Desa’s technicians remove mold safely and address the underlying moisture issue so it won’t come back. Our team also restores homes after fire and smoke damage, from odor elimination to structural rebuilding. We are proud to offer the kind of service that means one contractor can handle nearly anything a home throws at its owner.
Ajax’s history as a wartime community that grew into a modern lakeside town shows up in its housing stock today, with older homes near the town’s original core sitting alongside newer subdivisions closer to Highway 401. That mix means older sewer and plumbing infrastructure in some neighborhoods, more prone to backups during intense storms, while newer developments deal with the clay-heavy soil common across Durham Region and drainage that hasn’t always caught up with recent growth. Add in Ajax’s waterfront location on Lake Ontario, plus Duffins and Carruthers Creek running through town, and heavy spring runoff and summer storms are a recurring reality for homeowners across the city, regardless of when their house was built.
The longer water sits, the more it costs to fix, in both time and money. Desa Contracting & Restoration offers 24/7 emergency response throughout Ajax, handling everything from the first extraction to the final repair, plus direct coordination with your insurance company.

They can help with a very small spill, but they rarely remove the moisture trapped inside walls and subfloors. If water has been sitting for more than a day or has soaked into building materials, professional equipment is the safer bet.
Do not touch it or try to clean it yourself. Sewage is considered highly contaminated and carries health risks. Keep kids and pets away and call a professional for safe removal and disinfection.
They can. When melting snow backs up under shingles, water finds its way into attics, ceilings, and walls. We can dry the interior and point you toward the right roofer to fix the cause.
Yes. If mold is found during or after water damage, we can contain the area, remove affected materials, clean the space, and address the source of the moisture so it can no longer lead to mold growth in the future.
