Why Commerce Township homeowners call us first for water damage cleanup
We are on site in about an hour
A person answers our phone at any hour of any day, 365 days a year, and no answering service sits in between. An hour is the normal run out to Commerce Township. Speed counts for more here than in a lot of places. The water table across the lake neighborhoods sits close to the surface, so a basement or a crawl space near Commerce Lake or Lower Straits Lake has little margin once water starts coming in. Sump pumps in those streets already work hard through the spring melt. The hours right after you find the water are the only hours you get to control.
The inspection is free and there is nothing to sign
We walk the property with you at no charge, and there is no form and no obligation attached to it. Moisture meters go in early, because water rarely stays where you can see it. In a lake house with a walkout or a low crawl space it will track along framing into rooms that look untouched from the doorway. We will show you every reading. What we will not do is put a final figure on the job before anything is open, because until then nobody honestly knows what is behind the wall.
Local, Rochester Hills, thirty years of it
This is a company based in Rochester Hills, and Commerce Township is a familiar drive rather than a strange one. Thirty years in, with people who came from construction, contracting and cleaning before they came to restoration. That mix is useful in a township like this. The housing runs from lake cottages put up in the 1920s and 1930s and rebuilt many times since, through to large subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s out toward Wixom and Milford. Those two kinds of house take water differently and they dry differently.
We deal with your adjuster directly
On an open claim we document the loss for your carrier with photos, moisture readings and scope notes, and we send you the same file so you can read every line of it. We speak to your adjuster, to your plumber and to whoever else is working the property, which keeps you out of the middle of it. If a claims representative suggests your Commerce Township address must use one of their preferred vendors, that is not correct. You hire who you want to hire, and the company you hire answers to you.

Our restoration project took several months to complete. If you’re going through an insurance claim, be patient, as the process itself can take time. Dandre, who inspected the damage, prepared the estimate, and worked with our insurance company, was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful throughout the...

We found out we had a water leak from our bathroom tub when we brought our newborn home this past winter. It unfortunately needed to be a complete restoration which my husband and I had never gone through before. We were paired with Michelle as our project manager/overseer during this. I have nothing but amazing...

Same story as at least one other reviewer. Our ice maker water line started leaking and created a bigger mess than we realized. Our plumber recommended Response Flood & Fire for mitigation, and they were out the very next day drying out our kitchen floor and basement ceiling. Austin and Clayton were both amazing to...

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.

The water line to our ice maker burst and caused a huge mess. Once the plumber discovered where the leak was, he recommended Response Flood & Fire for mitigation. They responded FAST and had dryers going for the floor in our kitchen and basement. Austin was our Mitigation Project Manager, he and everyone on his...

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this company. We had significant flooding after a plumbing repair job went wildly wrong over the weekend. Ryan and Mike did an excellent job, start to finish, in remediating the damage. They were very responsive, professional, and definitely know their...
Our water damage repair process in Commerce Township, MI
Step 1. Your call reaches a person
There is somebody on the phone at every hour of the year. We ask what failed, whether water is still coming in and what you are able to shut off safely, and we talk you through the next few minutes. Then a crew is dispatched. Commerce Township normally takes us about an hour.
Step 2. A free walkthrough before anything starts
When we arrive we go through the property with you first. There is no charge and no paperwork for it. Meters show us how far the water has traveled through framing and flooring, which near the lakes is often down into a crawl space you would never have opened. You see the findings and the plan before work begins.
Step 3. Extraction, containment and equipment
Standing water comes out first, then containment goes up wherever the job calls for it. Air movers, dehumidifiers and HEPA scrubbers are cleaned and decontaminated before they enter the house. Materials that cannot dry where they sit are pulled, and we explain the reason for each one before it leaves.
Step 4. Daily readings, then the invoice
We come back every day and take moisture readings from the same marked locations, so the drying is tracked rather than estimated. Most structures reach dry in two to four days, and crews are on site four to eight hours on a working day. Equipment stays until the numbers permit it to leave. Billing is time and materials under the IICRC S500 standards manual, priced from a current Xactimate list, sent three to five business days after completion and due in thirty. If the timing is awkward, GreenSky financing can spread it out. Where a claim is open your carrier gets our documentation and we stay with the adjuster to the end of it.

“Our restoration project took several months to complete. If you’re going through an insurance claim, be patient, as the process itself can take time. Dandre, who inspected the damage, prepared the estimate, and worked with our insurance company, was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful throughout the process. Michelle, our project manager, was always responsive, caring, and worked hard to make sure everything was done right. The restoration work was completed by Leo and Augie, and they were outstanding. Leo replaced our tile, completed the plumbing work, repaired our closet organizer, and paid close attention to every detail. Augie did an excellent job painting. They were respectful, hardworking, and treated our home as if it were their own. Overall, although the process took time, the final result was excellent. Thank you, Dandre, Michelle, Leo, and Augie, for your professionalism, dedication, and quality work!”

Water damage questions we hear from Commerce Township homeowners
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How fast can you get to a Commerce Township address?
Someone answers our phone at any hour of any day of the year, and an hour is the usual arrival time for Commerce Township. Water does not pause while you decide. In the first hour it is largely still on the surface, and by morning it has worked into insulation, subfloor and the bottom of the drywall. Call as soon as you find it, even if it does not look serious yet.
Does living near the lakes make water damage worse in Commerce Township?
It changes what we find. Groundwater sits high around Commerce Lake, Lower Straits Lake and Union Lake, and the sump pumps in those neighborhoods run hard from the thaw through spring. A house on a walkout or a shallow crawl space near the water has less room for error than one up on a hill. When a pump quits or a supply line lets go, that margin disappears fast.
How long will drying take in a Commerce Township house and how will I know it is done?
Two to four days is normal for a structure here, with longer for a big loss or one that sat undiscovered. We return daily and take moisture readings from the same marked spots, which lets us watch the numbers fall instead of guessing at them. Those readings are the proof that the framing and the floor are dry. Equipment keeps running until they allow us to pull it out.
Do you work with my insurance company on a Commerce Township water loss?
We do. Where a claim is open the documentation goes to your carrier, the photos, the moisture readings and the scope notes, and you get the same document so every line is visible to you. We stay in contact with your adjuster and with the plumber or any other trade on site, so you are not stuck passing messages back and forth. Filing the claim is yours to do, since the policy is in your name.
What does a water damage job in Commerce Township cost?
The work is billed time and materials under the IICRC S500 standards manual and priced from a recent Xactimate list, which is the same source most carriers use. Hours worked, equipment run and materials used are what shape the invoice, rather than a figure agreed before anybody looked at the house. Invoices follow three to five business days after completion and are due in thirty. If paying at once is awkward, GreenSky financing can spread it.
