Every water damage restoration service, one phone number
Start with where the water came from. Water that rose through a floor drain is a sewage backup job, treated as Category 3 from the first minute. A sump pit that overflowed belongs under sump pump failure, and a line that split in the cold points to frozen pipe water damage or burst pipe cleanup. Meltwater through a ceiling in February is an ice dam call.
Some services follow others. Structural drying is part of nearly every job, and a mold inspection makes sense when a leak sat unnoticed. Plumbing repair, sump pump or backwater valve installation, roof replacement and fire restoration are not offered, and the crew will say who to call for those. Not sure which fits? Describe it on the phone and you will be pointed the right way.
Emergency Water Removal
Round-the-clock calls for standing water in a Dearborn basement after a storm, a surcharge, a thaw or a pump failure.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewer water pushed up a basement floor drain is Category 3 and needs controlled removal, disposal and disinfecting.
Basement Flooding Cleanup
Pump-out, removal and drying for full basements, finished lower levels and basement apartments in older Dearborn houses.
Sump Pump Failure Water Damage
Cleanup and drying when a sump pump, float switch or power cut lets groundwater into a Dearborn basement.
Frozen Pipe Water Damage
Water removal and drying after a pipe in a wall, garage or unheated basement corner freezes, splits and thaws.
Burst Pipe Water Damage
Cleanup and drying after a supply line splits in a Dearborn home, with the plumber's repair kept separate.
Ice Dam and Roof Leak Water Damage
Interior cleanup and drying after an ice dam backs meltwater under the shingles and into a Dearborn ceiling or wall.
Flood Damage Cleanup
Cleanup after surface water or a sewer surcharge floods a Dearborn basement, with the flood insurance question explained.
Mold Remediation
How mold cleanup is approached in Dearborn basements, what gets documented, and what to ask any crew about its standards.
Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping
How moisture readings and a written report find hidden damp in Dearborn basements before mold does.
Structural Drying
What drying a full Dearborn basement after a Category 3 sewer backup in the cold months involves, and what the readings must show.
Ceiling Water Damage
A wet ceiling in an older Dearborn house is usually water from the floor above or from an ice dam, and plaster can fail without warning.
Water Heater Leak Cleanup
A tank that fails in a Dearborn basement floods the lowest floor and whatever is stored on it, and the floor drain may not be able to take it.
Appliance Leak Water Damage
Washers, dishwashers and fridge lines leak onto Dearborn basement and kitchen floors, and a surcharged sewer can turn a hose failure into a drain backup.
Storm Damage Restoration
In Dearborn a summer storm means rain volume the sewer cannot carry, plus wind and tree damage on top, often in the same hour.
Commercial Water Damage
Warehouses, shops, restaurants and apartment blocks in the Dearborn area, from the Rouge corridor to Warren and Michigan Avenues, quoted after a walkthrough.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What can the crew do about the source of the water?
Help you find and close the right valve, cap an obviously open line where that is safe, tarp a roof opening or board up a broken window. The pipe, water heater, sump pump or roof repair itself goes to a plumber or roofer, and the crew sticks to extraction, drying and cleanup.
What do Category 1, 2 and 3 water mean?
They describe contamination under the IICRC S500 standard. Category 1 is clean water from a supply line, Category 2 is gray water such as washing machine discharge, and Category 3 is grossly contaminated, like sewage from a floor drain or rising creek water. Water gets worse the longer it sits, which changes the cleanup.
Do I need mold remediation after every leak?
No. Fast drying usually prevents it. Per the EPA, a moldy patch under about 10 square feet can usually be cleaned by a homeowner, while larger areas or sewage-related growth call for professional mold remediation. Michigan appears to have no licence specific to mold work, so ask what training the technicians have.
Is creek or river flooding a different job from a sewer backup?
The cleanup is similar, since both are Category 3, but the insurance is different. Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flood, which needs a separate flood policy that usually takes about 30 days to go into effect. See flood damage cleanup for the details.
