Wind-driven waves and high lake levels can send water and sand well past the beach. In April 2026, snowmelt, river ice breakup and rain raised the Thunder Bay River, and Alpena County officials monitored levels. Water from a lake or river carries silt and debris, so we extract it, remove materials that cannot be cleaned and dry the structure.
Winter adds its own risks: frozen pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces, and meltwater from roofs. We find the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, then dry only what needs it.
How We Handle Losses in Alpena
Alpena's risk comes from Lake Huron and the Thunder Bay River. Wind-driven lake surges, ice breakup and spring runoff can all raise water along the shoreline and the river.
Mold usually follows water in Alpena 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 Alpena 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.
