Why Utica homeowners trust us with water damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Day or night, a real person picks up when you call, and our crew typically gets to you in about an hour. While you wait, carry photos, papers and anything else irreplaceable up and out of the wet rooms, since drywall and flooring can be replaced and those can't.
A free inspection of the damage
The free inspection from our IICRC Certified Firm covers the rooms beside and below the leak, closets included. Closets are easy to miss because their doors stay shut, and boxes on a closet floor can hide the water until it starts to smell.
We work directly with your insurance company
From the first call, we handle your insurer directly, whichever company it is. If a son, daughter or friend is helping you through this, tell the insurer they may speak for you, so the adjuster can share updates with them as well as with us.
We help you get the most from your claim
Keep the receipts for anything you spend to stop the damage, like a plumber's emergency visit or a rented wet vac, because those costs often belong in the claim. We document the rest and push for everything the policy covers, while being clear that the insurer sets the payout.
Financing if you need it
Not every home has a policy that will pay, whether the coverage lapsed, the home has none, or the cause is excluded. Financing is available in each of those cases, so the drying and repairs can start now and be paid off 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 mitigation works in Utica, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Our emergency response line is staffed around the clock, and once you call, we dispatch a crew from our shop about seven miles west of downtown Utica. While you wait, close the doors to rooms the water hasn't reached, so the damp air stays where we'll be drying.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Rain that gets in around a chimney runs down the framing beside it, so the stain can show up well below the roof. Our founders came from construction, so we check the walls and ceilings around the chimney on every floor and photograph each spot for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
First the standing water comes out, then anything too soaked to save. In a basement, the rubber cove base along the walls often hides water behind it, so we peel it back to let the wall dry, and new cove base goes on during reconstruction.
Step 4. We dry it out
Every piece of drying equipment we set, from air movers to dehumidifiers, is decontaminated first, and each fan is aimed at a wet wall or floor. Call us before moving one. A technician takes moisture meter readings daily, and drying takes two to four days in most homes.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Our invoice and documentation reach you and your insurer three to five working days after we finish, and the insurer is asked to pay us directly. Whatever share is left to you, typically the deductible, can be spread out over time with financing.

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.

Utica basement flooding questions, answered
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Where does water damage in Utica homes usually come from?
Inside jobs lead the list: a burst pipe, toilet and sink supply lines that crack, water heaters rusting through, washer, dishwasher and other appliance hoses, and roof leaks. Heavy storms and snowmelt cause water intrusion in basements too, and that kind of flooding may sit under different coverage, so we record the source before anything else.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Utica?
Yes. A storefront, an office or an apartment building gets our 24/7 emergency service too, and flood cleanup at a commercial property follows the steps we use in a house. We find the wet areas, remove the water, dry the space and handle the insurer for the property, so the owner gets one clear file.
Will a free inspection of my Utica home start a claim or lock me in?
No. Nothing about our visit gets reported to your insurer, and hiring us stays optional. Filing an insurance claim is something only the policyholder can do, and the contractor is your choice even if your insurer hands you names. Don't let mitigation wait on an adjuster, because soaked floors and walls take on more water every hour.
What will water damage restoration in Utica cost?
Any figure before the inspection would be a guess, and wet materials tend to hide more than they show until the restoration process opens them up. Our billing is time and materials, following the IICRC S500 standard and Xactimate's current prices, and copies go to you and your insurer. When drying is done, we can handle the reconstruction too.
Can we stay in our Utica home while it dries?
Clean water from a broken supply line usually means you can stay. Sewage, outdoor floodwater and mold growth you can already see are different, with mold remediation handled as its own job, and the same goes if someone in the household has asthma or another lung condition. After water extraction, we'll give you a plain yes or no.
