Why White Lake homeowners pick us for water damage help
We're on site in about an hour
Call at any time and a person answers, with a crew following about an hour later. If a pipe has frozen but hasn't split, open the faucet it feeds and warm the room gently, never with an open flame, so the ice can melt and drain.
A free inspection of the damage
The free inspection from our IICRC Certified Firm includes the sump pump when the basement is wet. In a hard freeze, the pipe that carries sump water outside can ice over, so the pump runs but the water has nowhere to go, and we'll check for that.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with all insurance companies and deal with your adjuster ourselves. We send updates as the job moves, after extraction, during drying and once the readings say dry, so the file never sits for long without news from us.
We help you get the most from your claim
If the insurer's estimate leaves out damage we recorded, you can ask for a second look, called a reinspection. We send the adjuster the photos and moisture readings that back it up and keep asking for every covered item, though we can't promise how the insurer will rule.
Financing if you need it
Water damage to a detached garage, pole barn or shed usually falls under a separate, smaller limit for other structures on your policy. Financing is available if the reconstruction runs past that limit, or for your deductible, so you can pay 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 flooded homes in White Lake, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Call the emergency response line and dispatch will have a crew on the way. If your home is on White Lake's pressure sewer and the grinder pump alarm is sounding or flashing, call the sewer emergency number on the township's website, since that pump moves all your wastewater.
Step 2. We find where the water went
A door that suddenly sticks, or trim that has pulled away from the wall, often means the frame or the flooring around it is wet. Coming from construction, we read those signs, take moisture readings around every door and opening near the leak, and photograph them for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Standing water comes out first. In a walkout lower level, water that came in at the door tends to sit under the threshold and the first few feet of flooring, so we lift that flooring early to let the subfloor underneath start drying.
Step 4. We dry it out
Our decontaminated dehumidifiers and air movers run until a technician's daily moisture meter readings say dry, often two to four days. Run the bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans when you shower or cook, so the steam goes outside rather than into the rooms we're drying.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Once drying ends, you and your insurer get the invoice and documentation, and we request payment directly from the insurer. That file also shows the day we arrived and when drying began, which answers any question on your insurance claim about whether you moved quickly to limit the damage.

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 White Lake questions about basement flooding
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What tends to cause water damage in White Lake homes?
Our calls mostly come from a burst pipe, a failed water heater, a leaking appliance hose, an overflowing toilet or a roof leak. Heavy rain and snowmelt can bring basement flooding and water intrusion too, which many policies handle differently from a pipe break, so we note where the water started.
Do you work on commercial water damage in White Lake?
Yes. Shops, offices, warehouses and rental homes can call on our emergency service 24/7, just like a homeowner. We track the water down, dry the building with our drying equipment and keep the owner posted while we deal directly with the company that insures it.
If you inspect my White Lake home, am I committed, or is a claim opened?
Neither. The inspection files nothing with your insurer, and hiring us afterward is entirely up to you. Only the policyholder can open a claim, and you pick the contractor even if your insurer recommends another. Mitigation shouldn't wait for an adjuster to show up, because water keeps soaking in.
How is water damage restoration in White Lake priced?
We can't quote before we've looked, because damage keeps showing up as wet materials come out during the restoration process. It's billed as time and materials per the IICRC S500 standard and priced from a recent Xactimate list. Both you and your insurer receive the billing, and financing is available.
Is it OK to stay in my White Lake home during drying?
Most people can, provided the water came from a clean source like a cracked supply line. Sewage, floodwater from outdoors or mold growth you can see changes that, and mold remediation becomes separate work. A family member with a breathing condition is another reason to leave. We'll advise you once water extraction is done.
