What Canton homeowners get when they call us for water removal
We're on site in about an hour
A person takes your call whatever the hour, and the crew usually pulls in about an hour later. If an ice dam is forcing water through a ceiling, stay off the roof and off the ladder, since chipping ice in winter is risky and can tear the shingles.
A free inspection of the damage
Think there's a hidden leak? Canton Township suggests reading your water meter at night and again in the morning with no water used; if the reading changed, water is leaking somewhere. Our free inspection, from an IICRC Certified Firm, then tracks down where.
We work directly with your insurance company
Whoever insures you, we work with them, and they deal with us directly from the first call. If the insurer asks for a recorded statement, give it yourself and stick to what you saw, and let our report cover technical details like moisture readings.
We help you get the most from your claim
Save the plumber's invoice if it names what failed, like a split supply line, because that one page often settles what caused the damage. We flag documents like that as we walk you through the insurance claim and seek everything your policy covers, without promising the outcome.
Financing if you need it
If you carry federal flood insurance, know that it covers little in a basement: finished walls, carpet and most belongings down there usually aren't included. Financing is available for that gap, or for your deductible, so the rebuild doesn't land on you all at once.

Response came out to our house when we had water issues with our attic and potential mold growth. They dispatched a project manager to came out same day and provided advice regarding insurance, let us know what to expect for the work, and sent a crew out the next day. Everything moved quickly and smoothly...

From burst pipe to dry house: our process in Canton, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line takes your call at any hour and dispatches a crew to you. If water spread from the laundry area, check the washer's drain hose first, since a hose that slipped out of its standpipe floods the floor on every cycle.
Step 2. We find where the water went
An ice maker line behind the refrigerator can leak for weeks into the subfloor and the cabinet beside it. Since we started in construction, we pull the fridge out, take readings under it and along the wall behind it, and add photos to the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
We pull out the standing water first, then the wet materials that can't be saved. If opening a wall or lifting flooring shows mold growth, we tell you right away, because mold remediation follows its own steps and your insurer may treat it as a separate item.
Step 4. We dry it out
A technician comes by daily with a moisture meter, and our decontaminated drying equipment stays until every reading is dry, which in most homes takes two to four days. Expect the drying rooms to feel warm, since dehumidifiers give off heat as they work, and that warmth helps the drying.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Our invoice and paperwork go to your insurer days after we finish, asking it to pay us directly, with a copy for you. Keep yours, since buyers often ask about past water damage when you sell, and a file showing the drying and reconstruction were done right answers that.

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.

Questions from Canton homeowners about water damage repair
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What are the most common causes of water damage in Canton homes?
Our calls usually trace back to a water heater past its prime, a burst pipe in an outside wall, a dishwasher, washer or other appliance hose, an overflowing toilet or a roof leak. Heavy rain adds basement water intrusion and sump pump failures. Flooding from outside can be covered differently than a pipe that breaks, so the source goes in our notes before work starts.
Can you handle water damage at a commercial property in Canton?
Yes. Stores, offices, warehouses and rental properties can call us 24/7 for the same emergency service a homeowner gets. It runs the same way as at a house: we find the wet areas, extract and dry them, and bill the owner's insurer directly, keeping documentation of each room.
Does a free inspection of my Canton home start a claim or commit me to you?
No. Our visit files nothing with your insurer and leaves you free to hire anyone. Making a claim is up to you, because only a policyholder can file one, and the contractor is your pick even if the insurer recommends others. Don't hold mitigation for an adjuster, since wet materials keep getting worse.
How is water damage restoration in Canton priced?
There's no fair number before we've looked, since water hides in layers that the restoration process peels back one at a time. We charge time and materials by the IICRC S500 standard, using the latest Xactimate prices, with billing to your insurance company and a copy to you. Financing is there for anything not covered.
Can we keep living in our Canton home while the drying runs?
A clean-water leak from a broken supply line rarely means moving out. Sewage, outside floodwater and visible mold growth are different, and mold remediation turns into a job of its own. Anyone at home with asthma changes the answer too. After water extraction, we'll tell you honestly whether to stay.
