Why Wayne County homeowners call us for water mitigation
We're on site in about an hour
If anyone sleeps in the basement, move them upstairs for tonight, since wet carpet and damp air are no place to sleep and the water can keep rising. Day or night, you'll reach a person, and a crew usually arrives in about an hour.
A free inspection of the damage
Our IICRC Certified Firm inspects for free, which helps when a leak turns up during a home sale. The inspection shows what is wet today and where the water came from, so buyers, sellers and their inspectors can all work from the same facts.
We work directly with your insurance company
Big national carrier or small mutual company, we work with every insurer and deal with yours directly. If you're not sure which company holds your policy, your mortgage statement often lists it, or your agent can tell you in one call.
We help you get the most from your claim
When you report the loss, describe exactly where the water came from, such as a split supply line or a backed-up floor drain, since calling everything a flood can confuse the insurance claim. We document the source and push for all your coverage allows; the payout is the insurer's call.
Financing if you need it
Wayne County's emergency management office notes that a new flood policy can come with a waiting period of up to 30 days, so coverage bought once rain is forecast may start too late. If outside water reaches your home without it, financing is available, 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...

How we dry out a flooded home in Wayne County
Step 1. You call our office
We staff the emergency response line 24/7, and dispatch starts a crew your way once you've told us what happened. If the sump pump is running nonstop, leave it plugged in unless water has reached its outlet, because it's the one thing holding the water level down.
Step 2. We find where the water went
Basement floors built on raised panels or wood sleepers leave a gap over the concrete where water spreads with nothing showing on the flooring. Because we started in construction, we take readings across the floor, lift a panel where needed and put every wet area in the assessment photos.
Step 3. We take the water out
Standing water is extracted first. If a window well filled during the storm, we pump it out along with the basement, since a full well keeps pushing water in around the window frame. Anything too soaked to save comes out after you've seen why, and reconstruction replaces it.
Step 4. We dry it out
If water beads on the windows of a drying room, tell the technician, since the air is still very damp and the equipment may need moving. Our dehumidifiers and other drying equipment, decontaminated before they came in, keep running until the daily moisture meter readings say dry.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Within three to five business days of wrapping up, we send the invoice and documentation to you and your insurer and ask the insurer to pay our company. Save the email or photograph each page, since paper tends to go missing in a house under repair.

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.

Wayne County questions about basement flooding
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes water damage in Wayne County homes?
Most of it starts inside: a burst pipe, a cracked toilet or sink supply line, a water heater past its life, a washer hose or another appliance line, or a roof leak. Wayne County points out that any low-lying area can flood when rain is more than the ditches and sewers can carry, which brings water intrusion into basements. We find the source first.
Will you handle commercial water damage in Wayne County?
Yes. Stores, offices, churches and rental buildings can call our 24/7 emergency service, and commercial flood cleanup follows the steps we use in a house. If you lease the space, check the lease, since it usually says whether you or the landlord handles water damage, and we deal with that party's insurer directly.
Does a free inspection of my Wayne County home file a claim or obligate me?
No to both. Our visit sends nothing to your insurer and doesn't sign you up for anything. Deciding to file belongs to you alone as the policyholder, and you can hire whichever company you trust, no matter who the insurer recommends. Waiting for an adjuster before mitigation begins only gives the water more time, so get it started.
How much does water damage restoration in Wayne County cost?
Any number before the inspection would be a guess. Damage keeps showing itself through the restoration process, as each wet layer is opened up. We charge for time and materials under the IICRC S500 standard, use a recent Xactimate price list, and send the billing to both you and your insurer. Financing covers anything you pay yourself.
Should we stay in our Wayne County home while it dries?
Often yes, after a clean-water leak like a split supply line. Floodwater from outside, sewage from a drain and mold growth on walls are different, since mold remediation then needs its own plan, and so is anyone at home with breathing problems. Once water extraction is finished, we'll say honestly which rooms to avoid or whether to stay elsewhere.
