Why Berkley homeowners trust us with water removal
We're on site in about an hour
If water is near outlets, cords or a ceiling light, stay out of that room, and switch off its breaker only if the panel and floor are dry. Our phone is staffed day and night, and our crew usually arrives roughly an hour after your call.
A free inspection of the damage
There's no charge to inspect, and as part of it our IICRC Certified Firm separates new water damage from old. Dark rings, soft subfloor or past repairs near the leak can point to an earlier problem, and we point it out, since insurers treat sudden damage differently from slow leaks.
We work directly with your insurance company
Insurance letters and calls come with their own terms, like mitigation, scope and line items. We work with every insurance company and handle yours directly, then explain each request in plain words, so you always know what is being asked of you and why.
We help you get the most from your claim
Before any work starts, take a short video walking through each wet room, saying out loud what you see. We add our photos and readings to it and push for all your policy allows, while the final amount is always the insurer's call.
Financing if you need it
A small leak caught early can cost less than your deductible, which leaves the whole bill with you even though the damage is real. Financing is available for a job like that, or for anything your policy leaves out, so you can pay over time.

How our water cleanup works in Berkley, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line picks up at any hour. Tell us how deep the water is, how many rooms it reached and whether it smells like sewage, so dispatch knows which pumps and extraction equipment to load and work can start on the first trip.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Water runs to the lowest spot it can reach, often a closet, the space under the stairs or the floor beneath a built-in. Having started out in construction, we look in those hidden corners along with the walls and floors, and photos of each spot go into the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
We extract standing water until the carpet stops giving any up, then remove what can't be dried, which we replace ourselves during reconstruction. Until we arrive, try not to walk on wet carpet, because every step presses water deeper into the pad and the floor below.
Step 4. We dry it out
Drying equipment comes in decontaminated, mostly air movers and dehumidifiers, and a technician measures each wet room every day with a moisture meter. Drying usually takes two to four days, and it goes faster when shoes and baskets stay off the floor edges where the air flows.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Once drying is done, our invoice goes out to you and to your insurer with the documentation, and we ask your insurer to send its payment to us. Your copy arrives at the same time as the insurer's, so you're never the last to know what was billed.

Wonderful experience during such a stressful time. They came out immediately, the employees were extremely polite and respectful, and kept me updated every step of the way. They also helped guide me through the insurance claims process which seemed overwhelming at first. I would definitely recommend.

Berkley, MI questions about basement flooding
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What usually causes water damage in Berkley homes?
Burst pipes come up often, along with water heaters giving out, a washer, dishwasher or other appliance hose, an upstairs toilet that ran over, and roof leaks after storms. Basements add another risk: heavy rain can force water intrusion through the walls or up through the floor drain. Policies often treat that kind of flooding apart from flood cleanup after a broken pipe, so we record the source.
Does your team also work on commercial buildings in Berkley?
Yes. Shops and offices along 12 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway can call on our emergency service 24/7, just as homeowners do, and so can apartment buildings. We find the water, take it out, dry the space and handle the property's insurance company directly.
Will an inspection of my Berkley home open an insurance claim or commit me to anything?
No. An inspection files nothing and doesn't bind you to us. Only you, the policyholder, can start an insurance claim, and choosing the contractor is up to you, even if the insurer recommends someone else. Please don't put off mitigation until an adjuster comes out, because wet materials keep getting worse.
What does water damage restoration in Berkley cost?
Nobody can price it fairly sight unseen. Much of the damage sits under flooring and inside walls and only shows during the restoration process. The IICRC S500 standard governs our billing, which is time and materials priced from a recent Xactimate list, and the bill goes to you and to your insurer.
Can we stay in our Berkley home while it dries?
Most families can, provided the water came from a clean source like a burst supply line. Sewage, water from outdoors or signs of mold growth change that, and mold remediation then becomes a separate job. So does a household member with asthma or other breathing trouble. After water extraction, we'll tell you plainly whether staying makes sense.
