Why Oakland County homeowners call us after a flood
We're on site in about an hour
Someone picks up our line day and night, and with our shop in Oakland County, a crew usually reaches you in about an hour. If neighbors on your street have wet basements too, mention it when you call, since that points to the storm or sewer, not your pipes.
A free inspection of the damage
In a finished basement, some walls have plastic sheeting behind the drywall, which can hold water against the framing. Our free inspection looks for it wherever the water reached, and our IICRC Certified Firm explains whether that wall has to open before anything is cut.
We work directly with your insurance company
Any insurer is fine with us, and we work with yours directly. If you also carry a home warranty, call it about the broken appliance or water heater itself, since a warranty usually covers repairing the machine, while the water damage goes to your homeowner's insurance.
We help you get the most from your claim
If the leak was hidden, pull your recent water bills, since a sudden jump can help show when it started. Those bills go into your insurance claim beside our photos and readings, and we work for every dollar the policy allows, though only the insurer decides what it pays.
Financing if you need it
A leak from an upstairs laundry or bathroom often soaks two floors, so the bill can run higher than people expect. Financing is available for your deductible or any part of the job you pay yourself, 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 removal works across Oakland County
Step 1. You call our office
Ring our emergency response line, staffed 24/7, and dispatch has a crew heading your way. If sewage came up a floor drain, look at your sewer bill: the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner says it shows which agency maintains your sewer lines, the one to contact about the backup.
Step 2. We find where the water went
When a pipe breaks inside a kitchen island, water spreads under the island base and the flooring around it, out of sight. We came up in construction, so we take readings around the base and in the ceiling below, and every wet spot goes into the assessment photos.
Step 3. We take the water out
We pull up the standing water first. Carpet glued straight to a basement slab, with no pad under it, usually can't be lifted and dried, so it tends to come up in pieces. You see the moisture readings before anything is cut, and what comes out gets replaced during reconstruction.
Step 4. We dry it out
Hold off on painting, patching or caulking the wet rooms until our readings say dry, since paint can seal moisture into a wall. Our drying equipment, each dehumidifier decontaminated first, keeps running while a technician measures every room daily with a moisture meter, usually two to four days.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
On a typical visit our crew is on site for most of a day, and the time and materials invoice reflects those hours. It reaches you and your insurer with the documentation within three to five business days of the last visit, asking the insurer for direct payment.

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.

Oakland County questions about leaks and wet basements
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What usually leads to water damage in Oakland County homes?
We're most often called for a burst pipe, a leaking water heater, a washer or dishwasher hose, an ice maker line or another appliance, a roof leak, or a toilet that ran over. Storms add basement flooding, either as water intrusion through the walls or a sump pump that falls behind. We note where the water started, since that shapes both the cleanup and the claim.
Do you take commercial water damage jobs in Oakland County?
Yes. Offices, stores, schools and apartment buildings get our 24/7 emergency service, the same as a house, and commercial flood cleanup follows the same steps. A building can have an owner, a manager and tenants all asking questions, so tell us who makes the decisions, and we'll work with that person and the building's insurer directly.
Does an inspection of my Oakland County home start an insurance claim or commit me?
No. We can look at the damage and explain what we find without anything going to your insurer, and you're free to hire someone else afterward. Only you, as the policyholder, can file a claim, and the choice of contractor stays yours whatever names the insurer mentions. Start mitigation now; an adjuster's visit is no reason to let the water sit.
What will water damage restoration in Oakland County cost?
We can't name an honest figure before we've seen it, because water hides in layers and the restoration process turns up more as wet materials come out. Our charges are time and materials, the method IICRC S500 sets out, at Xactimate's latest prices, and both you and your insurance company receive the billing.
Can my family stay in our Oakland County home while it dries?
Most families can when the water was clean, such as a broken supply line. Sewage, outdoor floodwater or mold growth you can see changes the answer, and mold remediation turns into a separate job; so does asthma or another breathing problem in the house. After water extraction, we'll tell you plainly whether a few nights away make sense.
