After the June 2021 flood, the City of Dearborn planned stormwater projects in the northeast and southeast sections of the city, the most affected. They include the Colson-Palmer stormwater line, with a headwall, gates and dewatering pumps to keep Rouge River backwater out, and a deep storm sewer main on Oakwood Boulevard sized to support sewer separation.
Until projects like these are finished, a backup can still come through a floor drain or basement fixture when the system is full. We extract the water, remove wet drywall, carpet and insulation, disinfect, and dry the structure with monitored equipment.
How We Handle Losses in Dearborn
Dearborn homes can see sewer backups, river backwater and sump pump failure when rainfall exceeds what the system carries. Floodwater and sewer water are contaminated and call for protective cleanup.
Mold usually follows water in Dearborn 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 Dearborn 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.
