Why West Bloomfield homeowners call us first for water damage cleanup
Roughly an hour from the call to the driveway
A person takes your call at every hour of the day and night, right through weekends and holidays. Nobody takes a message and passes it along later. West Bloomfield is close enough that an hour is our usual arrival. If your house is set back behind a gate or sits on a private drive, mention it when you call so the crew does not lose time at the entrance.
A free inspection with nothing to sign
We will come and look at the damage at no cost, and you are not signing anything for that. Moisture meters come out first, because in a big house water can be two rooms and one floor away from where it started before anyone notices. We will not name a final price on the doorstep. Nothing is certain until the material is opened up, and a number given before that has been made up.
We deal with your adjuster directly
We send your carrier the documentation the claim needs, photos, moisture readings and scope notes, and we send you the same, line for line. We speak with the adjuster, the plumber and anyone else working the property, so nothing has to be relayed through you. If a claims representative says you are obliged to pick a firm from their preferred vendor list, that is not accurate. You decide, and from that moment our contract is with you and not with them.
Based in Rochester Hills, and at this a long time
The company runs out of Rochester Hills, so West Bloomfield is a short trip rather than a special journey. Our founders spent their careers in construction, contracting and cleaning before starting it, and had done that work a long time. It shows up in what we notice. We look at what happened to the framing, the subfloor and the insulation, and we are honest about what has to be removed even when the finish above it still looks perfect.
Large West Bloomfield homes need a different plan
West Bloomfield is known for large houses on rolling ground, and many of them have a finished walkout lower level. That layout changes the work. There is more square footage to dry, more bathrooms and longer runs of plumbing that can fail, and lower levels are often finished to the same standard as the main floor. A leak that would soak one room in a smaller house can travel through several here before it shows, and it usually lands on hardwood, cabinetry and built-in millwork rather than bare block.

I have nothing but amazing...

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.

Our water damage repair process in West Bloomfield, MI
Step 1. Call us and a person answers
Whatever the hour, your call is answered by a person. We find out what happened, where the water is coming from and whether it has been shut off, and we tell you what to do until we get there. Then a crew is dispatched. An hour is the normal arrival across West Bloomfield.
Step 2. We look at it with you first, at no charge
We start by walking the house with you, top to bottom if the water has moved. There is no charge for that inspection and no form to sign beforehand. Moisture meters map where the water has actually reached, which in a large home is usually more of the building than anyone expects. You see that before we settle on a scope.
Step 3. Standing water out, drying equipment in
Standing water comes out first, and containment goes up wherever the job calls for it. Every air mover, dehumidifier and HEPA scrubber is cleaned and decontaminated before it is carried into the house. Where a material will not dry in place we remove it, and we go through the reasoning with you before it is taken out.
Step 4. The moisture gets read every day
We come back daily and take moisture readings at fixed points, so the drying is tracked rather than assumed. Most structures reach dry within two to four days, and a large home with several affected levels can take longer. On a working day a crew is on site four to eight hours, sometimes more. The equipment leaves when the readings allow it, and not before.
Step 5. The invoice, and the claim
Once the readings are where they need to be, the paperwork follows. We charge time and materials against the IICRC S500 standards manual, priced from a current Xactimate list. The invoice comes three to five business days after the last day of work and is payable within thirty days. Where a claim is open we send your carrier everything the file needs and keep working with the adjuster until the file is settled.

“Our restoration project took several months to complete. If you’re going through an insurance claim, be patient, as the process itself can take time. Dandre, who inspected the damage, prepared the estimate, and worked with our insurance company, was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful throughout the process. Michelle, our project manager, was always responsive, caring, and worked hard to make sure everything was done right. The restoration work was completed by Leo and Augie, and they were outstanding. Leo replaced our tile, completed the plumbing work, repaired our closet organizer, and paid close attention to every detail. Augie did an excellent job painting. They were respectful, hardworking, and treated our home as if it were their own. Overall, although the process took time, the final result was excellent. Thank you, Dandre, Michelle, Leo, and Augie, for your professionalism, dedication, and quality work!”

Questions West Bloomfield homeowners ask about water damage
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How soon can you get to a West Bloomfield home?
Someone answers our phone at any hour, and West Bloomfield is normally about an hour from the call. If the property is gated or on a private lake road, tell us that up front so we are not held up getting in. Speed is worth paying attention to here. Water that has been down an hour is still on the surface, and water that has been down since the night before is inside the walls and under the floor.
Why does water travel so far inside a West Bloomfield house?
The homes here tend to be large and spread out, with several bathrooms, long plumbing runs and a finished lower level underneath everything. Water follows the framing, so a failure upstairs runs along the joists and can come out in a room nowhere near the source. Hardwood, cabinetry and millwork also hide it well, which is why the first sign is often a smell or a warped board rather than a puddle. We meter the whole path, not just the room you called about.
How long does a finished walkout lower level in West Bloomfield take to dry?
Two to four days is normal for most structures, and a large finished lower level often sits at the longer end of that. There is more material holding water down there, and part of it is against the ground on the closed side. We take readings every day at the same locations, and the drying is finished when those numbers say so. A room can look and smell fine while the framing behind it is still wet, which is exactly why we measure.
Will you work with my insurance carrier on a West Bloomfield claim?
Yes. We document the loss for your carrier, photos, moisture readings and scope notes, and you receive the same paperwork so you can follow every step. We talk to your adjuster and to any plumber or trade at the property, which keeps the details moving without you in the middle. You file the claim, since it is your policy. Occasionally a carrier settles for less than the scope we documented, and that is generally something we can work out with them.
What does a West Bloomfield water damage job cost?
Pricing is time and materials, measured against the IICRC S500 professional standards manual and drawn from a current Xactimate list. That is the same list most carriers use, so the invoice can be checked against the work rather than taken on trust. You pay for the hours put in, the equipment run and the materials used. Invoices are sent three to five business days after completion and are due in thirty days, and GreenSky financing is there if you want it.
