On January 11, 2020, the southbound Southfield Freeway was closed at Outer Drive in Allen Park after Wayne County said Ecorse Creek had overflowed, and the service drive between Outer Drive and Van Born was closed too. Melvindale lies in the same Ecorse Creek watershed.
Creek overflow and sewer backups bring contaminated water into basements. We extract it, remove porous materials that cannot be cleaned, apply antimicrobial treatment and dry the structure. Keep sump pump discharge clear and a battery backup ready, since storms can cut power.
How We Handle Losses in Allen Park and Melvindale
Basement flooding from creek overflow, sewer backups and sump pump failure can affect Allen Park and Melvindale homes. Winter freezes can also split supply lines.
Mold usually follows water in Allen Park and Melvindale homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Allen Park and Melvindale usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
