Why Southfield homeowners choose us for water damage services
We're on site in about an hour
Whatever the hour, a crew is usually at the house about an hour after you call. Meanwhile, slip wet papers, photos or books into freezer bags and put them in the freezer, which holds off mold until there's time to dry them properly.
A free inspection of the damage
Your free inspection is done by an IICRC Certified Firm, and it includes what sits inside the wet walls. Fiberglass insulation holds water against the framing, while some foam insulation sheds it, so knowing which you have tells us how much wall needs to open.
We work directly with your insurance company
We take claims with any insurer and handle yours directly. Only your insurer can say what is covered, so we don't guess at that, but we help you put the question to the adjuster clearly and send the photos and readings that back up your side.
We help you get the most from your claim
If you can't be home when the adjuster comes, ask a relative or neighbor to be there with a list of what you've noticed, so nothing gets skipped. We document the damage and seek the full amount your coverage permits, though the insurer has the final say.
Financing if you need it
A policy limit set years ago may fall short of what a rebuild costs today, especially after a large loss. If your coverage runs out before the work does, financing is available for the difference, or for your deductible, so you can pay it 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 flood restoration process in Southfield, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line is staffed 24/7: tell us what got wet, and dispatch sends a crew. If you rent, call your landlord or property manager right after us, because the owner's insurance usually covers the building itself and they need to know quickly.
Step 2. We find where the water went
In an office or apartment building, water from one unit can run along the slab under the flooring or through a shared wall into the next. With our background in construction, we check the neighboring spaces we're allowed into and photograph each spot for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Under state law, a written claim to the City of Southfield is due within 45 days of finding a sewer backup, so we photograph the water and the drain before extraction starts. Then we pull out the standing water and remove anything too soaked to dry.
Step 4. We dry it out
You're welcome to see each day's moisture readings, room by room, so you can watch the numbers drop toward dry. Every dehumidifier and air mover is decontaminated between jobs, a technician takes the readings daily with a moisture meter, and two to four days of drying is typical.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Once the job is done, the invoice and documentation follow within three to five business days, sent to your carrier and to you with a request for direct payment. For an office or rental building, tell us who handles the property's insurance, so the copy reaches the right desk.

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.

Southfield, MI questions about leaks and floods
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes most water damage in Southfield homes?
Inside the house, the usual suspects are a split washer hose, a water heater near the end of its life, a toilet that ran over, a burst pipe or a leaking appliance, plus the occasional roof leak. Heavy rain can push water intrusion through foundation cracks or up a floor drain. Most policies call that flooding, so flood cleanup starts with recording the source.
Do you handle commercial water damage in Southfield?
Yes. Office buildings, stores, medical suites and rental property all get our 24/7 emergency service, the same as a home. We locate the water, set drying equipment, keep documentation for each area and deal with the building's insurer on the owner's behalf.
If you inspect my Southfield home, am I filing a claim or agreeing to hire you?
Neither. Our inspection doesn't notify your insurer of anything, and you're not agreeing to hire us. Only you, as the policyholder, can open an insurance claim, and the contractor is your choice, whichever companies your insurer mentions. Begin mitigation now rather than waiting for an adjuster, since water damage grows while it sits.
How much does water damage restoration in Southfield cost?
We can't price it honestly before we see it, because damage hides under wet materials and often turns up partway through the restoration process, and some jobs go on to reconstruction. Billing is time and materials, following the IICRC S500 standard, with each line priced in Xactimate, and it goes to your carrier with a copy to you.
Should we stay in our Southfield home while it dries?
In most cases you can, if clean water from a supply line caused it. Sewage, water from outdoors or mold growth that's already visible makes it different, and mold remediation becomes a separate job. Anyone at home with a lung condition changes it too. We'll advise you at the inspection, before water extraction begins.
