Why Commerce Township homeowners call us for flood damage repair
We're on site in about an hour
If you're out of town when a leak starts, a neighbor or relative can phone us for you and let the crew in. Our line is answered at all hours, and we're usually on site in about an hour, so the water isn't left sitting until you get back.
A free inspection of the damage
Our IICRC Certified Firm does the inspection for free, and in a room built over the garage, we look closely at the floor. Pipes that run through a cold garage ceiling are often the first to freeze, and the leak usually shows in the room above.
We work directly with your insurance company
Whatever company insures you, we work with it directly. Many insurers now run claims through an app or an online portal, so we send our photos and readings to the insurer directly, or to you to upload, and the file keeps moving.
We help you get the most from your claim
Many policies include debris removal, which helps pay to haul away ruined drywall, carpet and pad, and it's easy to overlook. We include it in the documentation for your insurance claim and press for all your policy allows, but what the insurer pays is its decision, not ours.
Financing if you need it
When a neighbor or a contractor caused the leak, their insurer can take months to accept that it owes you. Financing is available so the drying and repairs don't wait on that decision, and it can cover your deductible or anything a claim won't pay.

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...

How we clean up and dry out a wet home in Commerce Township
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line runs 24/7, and dispatch will send our crew straight over. While you wait, roll towels along the doorways of the wet room, which helps keep the water from spreading across the floor into rooms that are still dry.
Step 2. We find where the water went
A water heater or washer in the garage can leak under the shared wall and soak the flooring of the room beside it, while the garage side looks fine. Our builder's background has us check both sides of that wall, and we photograph each wet spot for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
We start by pumping and extracting the standing water. In a finished basement, we pull wood paneling off the lower wall, because paneling fastened over wet framing keeps it from drying. Panels that come off whole may go back up during reconstruction.
Step 4. We dry it out
Our technician returns every day to read each room with a moisture meter, so if you're staying elsewhere, leave us a key or a door code for those visits. The dehumidifiers and other drying equipment run until the readings come back dry, and then our crew starts the reconstruction.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
When the job ends, both you and your insurer get our invoice along with the documentation, and we ask your insurance company for payment. Commerce Township requires a building permit before construction or alteration work, so if the rebuild needs one, keep that permit with your file.

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.

Commerce Township questions about leaks and wet basements
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What usually causes water damage in Commerce Township homes?
Indoors, the usual story is that a washer hose splits, a water heater rusts out, a burst pipe floods a room in a cold snap, a toilet overflows or an appliance line drips. A roof leak is next, along with snowmelt finding its way into the basement. Insurers may class that water intrusion as flooding, and flood cleanup coverage can differ, so the source gets noted before anything else.
Do you work on commercial water damage in Commerce Township?
Yes. Shops, offices, clinics and rented houses get our emergency service around the clock, just like a family home. The steps match too: we find every wet area, extract and dry it, and handle the commercial property's insurer directly.
Will an inspection of my Commerce Township home open a claim or lock me into hiring you?
No. Our visit doesn't file anything with your insurer or tie you to us. A claim can only come from you as the policy owner, and you can hire any contractor you like, whatever your insurer recommends. Start mitigation right away, though, because waiting on an adjuster lets the water travel.
What will water damage restoration in Commerce Township cost?
Nobody can give an honest figure before seeing it, because wet materials hide damage that only comes to light during the restoration process. The IICRC S500 standard sets how we charge, by time and materials, and Xactimate supplies the prices. Our billing reaches your insurer and you, and financing helps with anything insurance won't pay.
Can we keep living in our Commerce Township home while it dries?
Generally yes, if clean water from a supply line caused it. Sewage, outdoor floodwater or visible mold growth changes the answer, and mold remediation becomes a separate job. Asthma or another breathing problem in the family matters as well. After water extraction, we'll say honestly whether you should stay.
