Why Lake Orion homeowners rely on us for water removal
We're on site in about an hour
We staff the phone through nights, weekends and holidays, so expect our crew roughly an hour from your call. Until then, lift cardboard boxes off a wet floor or empty them into plastic bins, because soaked cardboard collapses and stains whatever sits on it.
A free inspection of the damage
Your free inspection is done by our IICRC Certified Firm, and we tell you plainly what is wet, what is dry and what will likely need to come out. You get that picture before deciding whether to file an insurance claim, so the choice is an informed one.
We work directly with your insurance company
Every insurance company is one we work with, and our team talks to yours firsthand. When the insurer sends a list of what it needs, we sort it for you: the photos, readings and scope come from us, while things like a plumber's bill come from you.
We help you get the most from your claim
Hold off on permanent repairs, like new drywall or flooring, until the damage is documented, because an insurer can't pay for what it never saw. We record everything first and press for the full amount your coverage permits, though how much gets paid is up to the insurer.
Financing if you need it
Most policies pay for the damage the water caused but not for the part that failed, such as the water heater or the burst hose itself, so some costs may stay with you. Our financing can carry any part of the bill your policy doesn't.

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 leak and flood cleanup works in Lake Orion
Step 1. You call our office
Describe what's wet to our 24/7 emergency response line, and dispatch sends out a crew. If water reached a basement freezer, keep its door shut and leave it running only if the outlet and floor around it are dry, so the food holds until we arrive.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Water on a floor can drain into a heating register and travel through the ductwork to rooms that never looked wet. Because we came up in construction, we check the ducts and the floor cavities around them, and every finding is photographed for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
We pump and vacuum out the standing water first. Soaked carpet weighs far more than it looks and is hard on your back, so leave it to us. We lift it, take out the pad and remove any other flooring too wet to save.
Step 4. We dry it out
The drying equipment, decontaminated air movers and dehumidifiers, stays put until reconstruction can begin, with a technician reading the moisture meter daily. A basement with a high water table can take a little longer, since the concrete keeps drawing moisture up from below.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Within a few business days of the last visit, you and the insurer both get the invoice and documentation, with a note asking the insurer to pay us. Our terms are 30 days, and an insurer check sent to you instead goes toward our bill.

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.

Answers for Lake Orion homeowners about water extraction
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What leads to water damage in Lake Orion homes?
Leading causes are a burst pipe, a washer hose or appliance line that fails, a water heater that springs a leak, a toilet that runs over, and roof leaks. Heavy rain brings basement flooding and water intrusion too. Outside the village, report a sewage backup to Orion Township, which checks whether the blockage is in its main or in your service line, the homeowner's responsibility.
Can a Lake Orion business call you for water damage?
Yes. Downtown shops and offices, rentals and condo buildings all have 24/7 access to our emergency service. Commercial flood cleanup mirrors what we do in a home: locate the water, extract it, dry the building and take care of the property's insurer ourselves.
Will an inspection of my Lake Orion home file a claim or lock me in?
No. Our inspection sends nothing to your insurer and costs you nothing. The decision to file belongs to you alone as the policyholder, and you pick the contractor even when the insurer suggests others. Mitigation should begin at once, because waiting on an adjuster only lets the water spread.
What does it cost to restore water damage in Lake Orion?
There's no honest figure until we see the damage, since wet materials under the surface keep appearing through the restoration process. Time and materials is how we bill, following IICRC S500 and Xactimate's newest price list, and the billing is addressed to you and your insurance company alike. Financing helps with whatever insurance won't pay.
Is staying in my Lake Orion home OK while it dries?
Most of the time, if the source was clean water, like a leaking supply line. Sewage, lake or storm floodwater and visible mold growth are different, and mold remediation becomes separate work. The same goes for someone at home with asthma. We'll tell you after water extraction whether a few nights away make sense.
