Why Sterling Heights homeowners call us for water damage repair
We're on site in about an hour
We pick up the phone around the clock, and a crew usually arrives within about an hour. Until then, close the main water valve: in Sterling Heights it's normally beside the meter in the basement, because the box outside is only a remote reader.
A free inspection of the damage
We're an IICRC Certified Firm, and the free inspection begins with finding what failed and whether it's still leaking. If a pipe or fitting needs a plumber before drying can begin, we tell you that first and then coordinate with the plumber directly.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with any insurance company, and we speak to your adjuster ourselves. When the adjuster has a question about a moisture reading, a photo or a line on the scope, they can call us rather than you, and we answer with the records that back it up.
We help you get the most from your claim
Hold on to whatever broke, whether a split hose, a cracked fitting or a corroded valve, because an adjuster may ask to see it. We note how it failed and push for the full amount your coverage allows, but the insurer alone decides what it pays.
Financing if you need it
Sterling Heights reminds residents that most homeowner policies don't cover flood damage, so water that rose in from outside can leave you with no claim to file. Financing is available for that, or for any repair you would rather keep off your insurance.

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 and drying process works in Sterling Heights
Step 1. You call our office
Ring our emergency response line any hour, say what's wet and how long it's been that way, and dispatch sends a crew. Before you mop, take a few phone photos, since your insurer will want to see the damage the way you found it.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Drywall soaks water upward like a paper towel, so the wet area often sits higher than the stain line shows. Our roots are in construction, so we take readings up the wall and across the flooring until dry, then record each room in photos for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Standing water comes out first. Then we cut wet drywall a little above the highest wet reading instead of tearing out the whole wall, so less reconstruction is needed later, and we show you where we'll cut before we start.
Step 4. We dry it out
Every air mover and dehumidifier we bring has been decontaminated since its last job, and this drying equipment works best running nonstop with the windows shut, so please leave it on. A technician takes moisture meter readings daily, and a typical home is dry within two to four days.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Your file holds the photos, the daily moisture logs and an Xactimate list of every item of work. It goes out with our invoice to you and your insurer, typically three to five business days after we finish, and we ask your insurer to send payment to us directly.

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.

Common questions about burst pipes and flooding in Sterling Heights
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes most water damage in Sterling Heights homes?
Inside the house, we see burst pipes, cracked toilet supply lines, water heaters that give out, leaking washers and other appliances, and roof leaks. Outside, heavy storms and snowmelt can push water intrusion through basement walls or up a floor drain. That counts as flooding, which many policies treat separately, so we write down where it came from before anything else.
Do you handle commercial water damage in Sterling Heights?
Yes. A business gets the same 24/7 emergency service as a home, whether it's an office, a plant, a store or a rental property. We trace the water, dry the building and deal directly with the owner's insurance company, keeping documentation for every room, and flood cleanup follows the same steps.
If you inspect my Sterling Heights home, does that open an insurance claim or commit me to anything?
No. We can look at the damage without any claim being opened, and it commits you to nothing. Filing is the policyholder's call alone, and the choice of contractor is yours, whatever names your insurer offers. It's on you to start mitigation quickly, so don't hold off for an adjuster's visit.
How much does water damage restoration in Sterling Heights cost?
No one can give an honest number before the inspection, because hidden wet materials only turn up as the restoration process goes on, a bit like peeling an onion. We charge time and materials as the IICRC S500 standard sets out, using a current Xactimate price list, and if there's a claim, we take care of billing your insurance company.
Is it safe to stay in my Sterling Heights home while it dries?
Usually, yes, provided it was clean water, such as from a split supply line. Sewage from a floor drain, river water or mold growth you can see changes that, and so does anyone at home with asthma or other breathing problems. The dehumidifiers and air movers make noise, and at the inspection we'll say whether a few days away makes sense.
