Why Clawson homeowners call us for water damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
In a storm, leave a covered street drain alone. Clawson's Public Works asks residents to wait 60 to 90 minutes after heavy rain stops, since clearing it early can push water up basement drains. Our line is answered at all hours, and a crew pulls up in about an hour.
A free inspection of the damage
Inspecting the damage costs you nothing, and an IICRC Certified Firm does it, so you get a clear picture before deciding anything. We explain which rooms need equipment, whether any flooring or drywall has to come out, and how many days drying usually takes.
We work directly with your insurance company
We take every insurance company, and we talk to yours ourselves. Our pricing comes from Xactimate, the program many insurers also use, so your adjuster can compare our scope with theirs line by line rather than sorting out two different price lists.
We help you get the most from your claim
If our reconstruction has to meet today's building code, such as new wiring or a bathroom vent, ask your agent whether your policy pays for code upgrades. We point out those items and press for everything your coverage allows, though nobody can promise the payout.
Financing if you need it
Check your deductible before you need it, because many homeowners raised it to lower their premium and then forgot. If the share left after a leak is bigger than you planned for, financing is available for it, or for anything the claim won't cover, paid over time.

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...

Our water removal and drying steps in Clawson, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Phone the emergency response line whenever it happens and describe what's wet, and dispatch gets a crew rolling. While you wait, clear a path from the nearest door to the wet area and move the car if it blocks the driveway, since hoses and equipment come in that way.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Laminate and vinyl plank floors float on a thin pad, so water can spread underneath with little showing on top. Since our founders came from construction, we take readings through the floor and along the walls around it, and take photos in each room for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Water extraction begins with the standing water. If the sump pit is full or the pump has quit, we pump it down so the basement stops refilling, and we tell you if the pump needs a plumber. Then anything too wet to dry comes out.
Step 4. We dry it out
Once the water is out, our decontaminated air movers and dehumidifiers go in, and a technician takes moisture meter readings each day until it's dry, typically two to four days. The dehumidifiers usually drain through a hose into a sink or floor drain, so please leave it in place.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
When the job wraps up, our invoice and documentation go out within days to you and your insurer, along with our request that the insurer pay us. Keep them in one folder with your claim number, the adjuster's estimate and any checks, so nothing gets lost.

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.

Flooded basement questions from Clawson homeowners
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes most water damage in Clawson homes?
We often find a failed appliance hose, a burst pipe after a cold snap, a water heater leaking at the base, a roof leak that shows up as a ceiling stain, or a toilet that overflowed. Basements also see water intrusion when heavy rain overloads the drains, and insurers may treat flooding like that under a different part of the policy, so we pin down where it started.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Clawson too?
Yes. Our emergency service runs 24/7 for offices, stores and apartment buildings, not just houses. We trace the water, run drying equipment until the readings say dry, and deal directly with the building's insurer, with documentation for each space. Flood cleanup after a storm works the same way.
Does having you inspect my Clawson home start an insurance claim or obligate me?
No. Nothing about our inspection starts a claim, and it costs you nothing. Filing belongs to the policyholder alone, and you can hire whichever contractor you want, even if your carrier has a list of its own. Start mitigation now instead of waiting for an adjuster, because damp materials keep soaking up water.
How much should I expect to pay for water damage restoration in Clawson?
Nobody can name an honest price before the inspection, and even then, water hidden under floors and behind walls only shows itself once the restoration process is under way. Billing follows the IICRC S500 standard on a time and materials basis, and it's sent to both you and your insurer.
Is it OK to keep living in my Clawson home during drying?
In most cases, yes, when a clean supply line was the source. It's different after a sewage backup, with outside floodwater or with mold growth that's already visible, which turns mold remediation into its own job, and it's different if someone at home has breathing problems. We'll say what we'd do in your place at the inspection, once we know what water extraction will involve.
