Why Livonia homeowners trust us with water damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Someone on our team picks up day or night, and you can expect a crew in about an hour. If an area rug on hardwood is soaked, fold it back or lift it off, because trapped water and the rug's dye can stain and warp the boards beneath.
A free inspection of the damage
Our free inspection starts with what failed, and we do it as an IICRC Certified Firm. If the leak is at the water meter itself, call the city, because Livonia maintains its meters. The valves and pipe on either side of the meter are the homeowner's to repair.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with all insurers, yours included, and deal with it directly. If your agent and the claims department tell you different things, ask the claims side to put its answer in writing, because that's who decides, and we work from that answer.
We help you get the most from your claim
Tell the adjuster about every appliance that sat in the water, like a washer, dryer or freezer, even if it still runs, since damage can show up later. We walk you through the insurance claim and push for all it covers, though the insurer sets the amount.
Financing if you need it
A failed ejector pump in a basement bathroom usually counts as a sewer backup, which many policies cover only with an add-on. Financing is available if yours doesn't, or for your deductible on a covered claim, so the cost can be spread over time.

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 extraction works in Livonia, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Once you reach our emergency response line, we dispatch a crew to your address. If the water won't stop and you can't find the main shutoff, stay on the phone, and we'll talk you through where to look while the crew drives over.
Step 2. We find where the water went
On a staircase, water runs under each step and into the side boards, so a step can stay soaked after the floor dries. We started in construction, so we check the stairs, the walls beside them and the floor below, logging each spot in photos for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Many finished basements have a drop ceiling, and water from a leak upstairs often runs along the pipes above the tiles. After we extract the standing water, we lift the tiles near the leak to check above them, and soaked tiles come out, since they sag and stay stained.
Step 4. We dry it out
Our decontaminated drying equipment draws a lot of power, so we spread the dehumidifiers and air movers across circuits to keep breakers from tripping; if one trips, call us. A technician checks every room with a moisture meter each day, and two to four days is typical.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Within three to five business days of the job ending, both you and your insurer get our invoice and the documentation behind it, with a request that payment come straight to us. The file opens with what failed and when you found it, the first thing an adjuster looks for.

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.

Livonia basement flooding and leak questions
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What usually leads to water damage in a Livonia house?
Inside the house, the usual culprits are a burst pipe, an aging water heater, a leaking washer, dishwasher or other appliance line, a toilet that overflows and a roof leak. Storms add the rest, pushing water intrusion through basement walls or sewage up a floor drain. Flooding from outside is often covered differently, so we record the source first.
Do you take commercial water damage jobs in Livonia?
Yes. We take commercial calls 24/7, from a dentist's office or a strip mall unit to a whole apartment building, with the same emergency service a homeowner gets. We find and dry every wet area, keep the readings and photos, and send the bill straight to the building's insurer.
Will an inspection of my Livonia home start a claim or lock me in?
No. Looking at the damage is free, reports nothing to your insurer and ties you to nothing. Whether to file is your call as the policyholder, and you choose the contractor, even if the insurer suggests names. Don't let mitigation wait on an adjuster, though, because wet framing and flooring only get worse.
What does water damage restoration in Livonia usually cost?
Any honest price has to wait for the inspection, because wet materials hide more damage behind them and the restoration process often uncovers more. We charge for time and materials, following the IICRC S500 standard and a recent Xactimate price list, and our billing goes to your insurer as well as to you. Financing is available for anything a claim leaves out, reconstruction included.
Can we stay in our Livonia house while it dries?
If a clean supply line broke, most families stay put. Sewage, floodwater from outdoors or mold growth you can see is a different matter, and mold remediation then becomes a job of its own. The same goes for anyone in the house with asthma or another lung condition. We'll say which rooms to avoid once water extraction is done.
