Why Farmington Hills homeowners call us for leak and flood repair
We're on site in about an hour
If water is coming through your ceiling from the unit above, knock on that door or call the building manager, since the valve that stops it is up there. Our phone is answered day and night, and you'll usually see a crew in about an hour.
A free inspection of the damage
Inspecting is free for our IICRC Certified Firm, and sometimes the honest answer is that it isn't a leak. Condensation dripping off a cold water pipe or an air conditioning line can look like one, and we'll tell you that plainly rather than start a job you don't need.
We work directly with your insurance company
We accept all insurance companies and work with yours directly, but your insurer may want your written OK before discussing the claim with us. Signing that early saves a lot of back and forth, and from then on, we answer their questions for you.
We help you get the most from your claim
Before you sign a release or cash a check marked final, make sure the whole job is on the claim, since a final settlement can be hard to reopen. We help you check and press for everything your insurance claim allows, without promising what gets paid.
Financing if you need it
If you and your insurer can't agree on the amount, many policies offer an appraisal process to settle it, and that can take a while. Financing is available so the reconstruction doesn't sit on hold meanwhile, and for your deductible or anything left to you.

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 our water damage cleanup works in Farmington Hills
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line is answered 24/7, and dispatch sends someone out right away. If the main shutoff valve is stiff, don't force it with a wrench, because an old valve can snap and make the leak worse; tell us, and we'll talk you through other options.
Step 2. We find where the water went
In a split-level, water from the upper floor runs down inside the wall between the levels and comes out below, often in a different room. Having worked in construction, we follow it down both levels, and every room ends up in the assessment photos.
Step 3. We take the water out
Once we've removed the standing water, we look under the flooring. Older sheet vinyl and some tile sit on a thin wood underlayment that swells and buckles once it's wet, so that layer usually comes up, while the subfloor below it can often dry where it is.
Step 4. We dry it out
Hardwood can look cupped after our meters read dry, and it often flattens over the next weeks, so don't rush to sand or replace it. A technician checks the dehumidifiers and other drying equipment daily and reads each room with a moisture meter, then we handle the reconstruction.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Soon after the drying ends, the invoice and our documentation go to your insurer, with a copy to you and a request to pay us. If payment stalls and talking with the insurer doesn't fix it, Michigan's Department of Insurance and Financial Services takes complaints and can help.

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.

Farmington Hills questions about water in the basement
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes most water damage in Farmington Hills homes?
Usually it starts inside the house: a burst pipe, a cracked supply line, a worn appliance hose, a water heater that gives out or a roof leak. Pipes can also freeze in an empty house, and before a long trip, Farmington Hills will shut your water off at the city's outside valve for a fee. Heavy rain can push water intrusion into a basement too, which counts as flooding and may be covered differently.
Do you handle water damage at commercial buildings in Farmington Hills?
Yes. Office buildings, shops, clinics and apartment complexes get the same emergency service as a single home, any hour, 24/7. Our restoration process doesn't change there, flood cleanup included: we locate the water, extract it, dry every affected space and keep the property's insurance company informed.
If you look at the damage in my Farmington Hills home, have I started a claim or agreed to hire you?
Neither. The inspection doesn't contact your insurer or obligate you to us. Filing is your decision, since the policy is in your name, and you can hire whichever contractor you trust, whatever your insurer says. Start mitigation now, since the adjuster can review our records later and the damage grows every hour.
What does water damage restoration in Farmington Hills cost?
There's no fair price until we've inspected, and the full scope often appears only once wet materials and flooring are opened up during the restoration process. Our billing is by time and materials, the IICRC S500 approach, with Xactimate pricing, and the invoice goes to your insurance company as well as to you.
Is it safe for my family to stay in our Farmington Hills home while it dries?
It usually is if the leak was clean water, for example a split supply line. Sewage, outdoor floodwater or patches of mold growth call for more caution, and mold remediation turns into a separate job. If anyone at home has asthma, tell us, since that changes it as well. Once water extraction is done, we'll tell you whether to stay put.
