24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Southfield, MI
From wind-driven rain to flash flooding, crews board up, extract, and dry the structure, then document everything for the claim. Storm and flood recovery starts with extraction and structural drying, then documenting the loss for an insurance or flood claim. Because floodwater carries soil and debris, affected porous materials are removed rather than dried, and the structure is re-checked as it dries.

Frequently asked questions
The rainfall figure is modest. Why do basements still get wet?
Because almost none of it soaks in. Clay till this tight accepts very little, so a moderate rainfall behaves like a much larger one at ground level. What matters is not the total but how much of it has to be moved away across the surface, and here that is nearly all of it.
Why does a small river matter more than a large one?
Because its catchment is paved and its channel is small. Developed ground delivers runoff fast and in full, so the peak is sharp and arrives within the hour. A large river gives days of warning; a system like this rises and falls before anyone reacts.
The house is from the late 1960s. What is the weak point?
That there is nothing below ground helping. No perimeter drain, no damp-proofing, so the entire defense is grading and downspout discharge at the surface. Fifty-plus years of settling and added hardscape usually means that defense no longer performs as built.
