In February 2018 the Red Cedar rose to just beneath the Hamilton Street bridge in Okemos, Meridian Township closed streets, and a street in Indian Hills looked like a lake. Water that stands in yards and streets can work its way into basements and garages.
After a river rise, we extract standing water, remove wet materials that cannot be saved, and dry the structure with controlled airflow and dehumidification. We check moisture behind walls and under floors before closing anything up, since hidden dampness is what leads to mold.
How We Handle Losses in Okemos
Neighborhoods near the Red Cedar and its flood plain can see rising water and closed streets during snowmelt and heavy rain. Storm drains that run full may also push water back into basements.
Mold usually follows water in Okemos 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 Okemos 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.
