How Water Damage Shows Up in Troy
Storm water in basements
Some municipal sewers, including those in Royal Oak and Birmingham, are designed for a 10-year storm. When a cloudburst exceeds that, water can come up through a floor drain or seep through a foundation wall, and a finished basement soaks up water quickly.
Sump pump failure and water main breaks
A sump pump with no battery backup stops when the power goes out, often in the same storm that raises the water table. A broken water main can also send water toward nearby houses, carrying sediment from the pipe.
Burst pipes in deep cold
The January 2019 arctic outbreak set numerous record lows across Southeast Michigan. A supply line in an exterior wall, garage or unheated space can split when it freezes, and the water arrives when the pipe thaws, often while no one is home.

- We stop the source where we can and extract standing water with truck-mounted and portable pumps.
- We map the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, including behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings.

Signs You Need Water Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Standing water or wet carpet in the basement after a storm
- Water seeping through floor cracks or the joint where the wall meets the floor
- Ceiling stains, sagging drywall, or bubbling paint
- A musty odor in a basement, closet, or crawl space
- Warped floors, swollen baseboards, or buckled trim
- A water meter that moves when every fixture is off
If water is entering the building, stop the source if you can reach the shutoff safely, and turn off power to wet areas if it is safe to do so. Move valuables, rugs, and electronics to a dry spot, take photos for your claim, and call (248) 432-3960. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or appliances, and do not use a household vacuum on water.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on where the water came from and how long it sat. Clean water from a supply line affects different materials than storm runoff or a sewer backup, and a loss caught in the first hours often saves drywall and flooring that a loss caught the next day cannot. We list each room, the moisture readings, and the materials we will dry, clean, or remove, and we update the list as the readings change.
Most residential losses take 3 to 5 days to dry, followed by repairs. Finished basements, hidden leaks inside walls, and losses involving contaminated water take longer. Daily readings tell us when the structure is dry, and we share them with you.
What We Restore After Water Damage
- Finished basements and basement walls
- Drywall, insulation, and ceilings
- Hardwood, laminate, and subfloors
- Carpet and pad
- Cabinets, trim, and baseboards
- Ceilings below upstairs bathrooms
- Contents and electronics
- Crawl spaces and utility rooms
Insurance and Documentation for Water Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on water losses. That means photos, readings, and a written scope of work that your adjuster can review, communication with the adjuster on your behalf, and billing handled for you. Coverage depends on your policy, so confirm with your carrier what applies to each source of water, since a burst pipe, a sump pump failure, a sewer backup, and surface flooding are often treated differently.
