Why Rochester homeowners trust us for flood damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Our phone is staffed day and night, and the crew typically pulls up roughly an hour after your call. If a ceiling sags with trapped water, close off that room and stay out of it until we get there, since wet drywall can drop with little notice.
A free inspection of the damage
Our free inspection comes from an IICRC Certified Firm that can trace leaks hidden from view. If the City of Rochester reports a leak alarm on your meter, meaning water ran 24 hours straight, and no toilet or faucet explains it, we check your walls and floors.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with every insurer, and once the insurance claim is open we handle yours directly. Keep the claim number and your adjuster's name somewhere you'll always find them, like your phone's notes, because every call and letter will ask for both.
We help you get the most from your claim
Opening a wall often turns up more wet framing or insulation than anyone could see at the start. When that happens, we photograph it and send the added work to your adjuster instead of leaving it out, though only the insurer decides what it pays.
Financing if you need it
The claim pays to put back what the water ruined, not the remodel you'd been planning. If you'd like the new room done your way while the walls are open, financing is available for the difference, or for your deductible, paid 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...

Our water mitigation process in Rochester, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Our 24/7 emergency response line picks up, and dispatch has a crew rolling. Say whether the water is clean, from a supply line, or rose from a drain or toilet, since sewage changes the protective gear and equipment the crew loads before leaving.
Step 2. We find where the water went
A tiled shower can look fine while water slips through cracked grout or a failed shower pan into the wall and floor behind it. Because our founders started in construction, we look around tubs and showers, not just the stain, and every damp area goes into the assessment photos.
Step 3. We take the water out
Standing water goes first. Wet insulation in an unfinished basement ceiling usually sags and holds water against the floor above, so we take it down, letting the floor framing dry from below. We show you the readings before any insulation or flooring goes.
Step 4. We dry it out
We set up decontaminated air movers and dehumidifiers, and this drying equipment runs on your household power, so your electric bill may rise a little. A technician takes moisture meter readings daily, drying usually wraps up within two to four days, and then we can do the reconstruction.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Shortly after the job ends, our invoice and documentation go out to you and your insurer, and we ask your insurer to pay our company directly. If you've moved out while the work goes on, tell us where to send your copy, so it doesn't sit in a damp mailbox.

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.

Rochester, MI questions about leaks and basement flooding
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why do Rochester homes get water damage?
Leaks from plumbing and appliances lead the list: a burst pipe, a split hose on a washer or other appliance, a water heater that gives out, a toilet overflow, or a roof leak. Storms and the spring thaw can also push groundwater into a basement as water intrusion, and insurers often treat that kind of flooding differently, so the source gets recorded first.
Will you take a commercial water damage job in Rochester?
Yes. Offices, stores, rental houses and apartment buildings can reach our emergency service 24/7, just as homeowners can. Flood cleanup at a business runs through our usual steps: trace the water, remove it, dry the space and take the insurance side off the owner's plate.
Does a free inspection of my Rochester home start a claim or bind me to you?
No. Inspecting the damage reports nothing to your insurer, and it doesn't oblige you to hire us. Filing is something only the policyholder can do, so that decision is yours, as is who does the work, regardless of any list the insurer hands you. Mitigation is your job to start, so begin before the adjuster visits.
What does water damage restoration in Rochester usually cost?
Nobody can name a fair price before seeing it, because each wet layer that comes out during the restoration process can reveal another. Charges are time and materials, in line with IICRC S500, using Xactimate's latest pricing, and our billing is sent to you and your insurer alike. Financing is there for what isn't covered.
Can we keep living in our Rochester house during drying?
Most families can, when the leak was clean water, such as a cracked supply hose. Sewage, outside floodwater or mold growth you can spot is another matter, and mold remediation then becomes a separate job. The same goes if someone at home has asthma or other lung trouble. After water extraction, we'll give you a straight answer on staying or leaving.
