Lake levels are only part of the picture. In July 2019, according to the National Weather Service, a storm dropped 8 to 10 inches of rain across Mason and Lake counties, and Mason County recorded a state record 24-hour rainfall of 12.92 inches. Rain on that scale overwhelms storm drains, sump pumps and window wells wherever it falls.
If water enters a basement, have power shut off by a professional before anyone goes in. We extract standing water, remove wet drywall, insulation and carpet, and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers. Water from the lake or a backed up sewer is contaminated, so affected materials are cleaned and disinfected or discarded.
How We Handle Losses in Ludington
Ludington homes near Lake Michigan, Pere Marquette Lake and the shoreline face high-water flooding, basement seepage and sump pump overload. Winter brings lake-effect snow, snow load on roofs, ice dams and frozen pipes, and seasonal and vacant cottages can freeze up while owners are away. We respond with extraction, controlled drying, cleaning and clear documentation of the loss.
Mold usually follows water in Ludington 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 Ludington 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.
