The Storms That Damage Troy Properties
Summer cloudbursts and flooded basements
On August 13, 2019, the National Weather Service issued a flood warning after 3 to 6 inches of rain the previous evening, naming Troy, Pontiac, Rochester Hills and Auburn Hills among the places to see flooding. Rain like that can flood basements and overload sewers within hours.
River high water
The Clinton River runs through Pontiac, Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, Rochester, Sterling Heights and Utica, and the Rouge River through Southfield, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bingham Farms and Franklin. After heavy rain, high water can reach yards, garages and basements. We extract the water, remove wet materials and dry the structure.
Sump pump failures, ice and wind
When a storm knocks out power, a sump pump without battery backup stops, and overloaded sewers can push water up floor drains. In winter, ice and wind can lift shingles and let water into attics. We tarp the roof, board up openings and dry what got wet.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (248) 432-3960 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
