Why Lapeer County homeowners trust us with water damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Call at any hour and you'll get a person; our crew is generally there about an hour later. If rain is running toward the house during a storm, don't head out in lightning to dig a trench or move a downspout; that can wait until it passes.
A free inspection of the damage
Our free inspection, from an IICRC Certified Firm, covers unheated spaces as well. If water refroze in a porch, garage or crawl space, the ice can hide how far it spread, so ask us to read those spots again once they thaw.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with all insurers, including companies that write farm policies, and talk with yours directly. If one policy covers the house along with barns or other buildings, tell the adjuster exactly which building the water reached, room by room.
We help you get the most from your claim
Photograph the outside too, such as a clogged gutter or a window well full of water, since it helps show how the water got in. We walk you through the insurance claim and work for the most it allows, though the payout is never ours to promise.
Financing if you need it
If you're settling a relative's estate and the house took on water before it sells, the money may be tied up for a while. Financing is available in the meantime, letting the drying and rebuild start now with the cost spread out.

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 burst pipe cleanup works in Lapeer County
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line runs 24/7, and one call is all it takes for us to dispatch a crew. If the leak is at the water softener, turn its bypass valve so water skips the softener, and the rest of the house keeps running water while you wait.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Under a vaulted ceiling, water from a roof leak can run along a rafter or beam and drip out well away from where it got in. Coming from construction, we follow the framing back toward the source, take readings along the way and photograph each wet area for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
When a frozen pipe floods more than one floor, we pull standing water from the top floor down, since water upstairs keeps draining into the rooms below. Soaked flooring and anything else past saving comes out after you've seen the readings, and we rebuild it during reconstruction.
Step 4. We dry it out
If your crawl space has vents, leave them the way we set them, since opening them on a humid day lets damp air back in. Our technician takes moisture meter readings in each area daily, and the decontaminated drying equipment, dehumidifiers included, stays until it's dry.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Our invoice and documentation reach your insurer and you three to five business days after the final visit, and the invoice asks the insurer to send payment straight to us. If a storm leads to a disaster declaration, aid programs may ask for repair invoices, so keep your copy.

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.

Lapeer County homeowner questions about water damage
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Where does water damage in Lapeer County homes usually come from?
Usually a burst pipe, a leaking water heater or other appliance, a split washer hose, an overflowing toilet or a roof that lets rain in. Heavy rain adds basement flooding and water intrusion, and the Lapeer County Drain Commissioner asks owners to report a beaver dam or other blockage in a county drain right away, since it can hold water back. We record the source before work starts.
Do you handle commercial water damage in Lapeer County?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency service is open to shops, offices, churches, schools and rental homes, and commercial flood cleanup at a business runs through the steps we use at home. Keep the building's policy number and agent's name where staff can find them, since whoever finds the water may not be the owner. We work with that insurer directly.
If you inspect my Lapeer County home, does that start a claim or commit me?
It does neither. We come out, look, and tell you plainly what's wet, and nothing is reported or agreed. Filing a claim is something only the policyholder can do, and the same person chooses who does the work, regardless of any company the insurer names. Mitigation should start before the adjuster arrives, since soaked framing and floors keep getting worse.
What's the cost of water damage restoration in Lapeer County?
There's no fair figure until we've looked, and even then hidden moisture under floors and behind walls can add to the job as the restoration process goes on. We bill by time and materials, the way IICRC S500 describes, with prices from the current Xactimate list, and the billing goes to you and your insurer.
Can we stay in our Lapeer County home while it dries?
Generally, if a clean supply line leaked. Sewage, water from outdoors or mold growth you can see changes that, with mold remediation as its own job, as does anyone in the house who has trouble breathing. If floodwater reached your well, drink bottled water until a lab test comes back clean; the Lapeer County Health Department can answer questions about the results.
