On August 11, 2014, the George W. Kuhn Retention Treatment Basin in Madison Heights recorded its highest water levels ever, according to a spokesman for the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner.
The basin stores, screens and disinfects excess combined sewage during heavy rain before it is discharged to the Red Run Drain. It helps the system cope, but it does not make a basement immune: a full sewer can still push water up a floor drain. Keep drains clear, raise stored items off the floor, and call us quickly if water gets in.
How We Handle Losses in Madison Heights
The Kuhn drainage district serves part of southeast Oakland County upstream of the Red Run Drain, and in heavy rain combined sewage is typically more than 93 percent stormwater. When pipes are full, water can rise through basement floor drains or seep through foundation walls. Oakland County's HomeGuard program installs backwater valves in participating homes. Winter adds frozen pipes in exterior walls and garages, and sump pumps can fail when storms knock out power.
Mold usually follows water in Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights 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.
