Learn about storm damage →What Damages Property in Royal Oak
The August 11, 2014 storm flooded basements on Vinsetta Boulevard, and residents lost everything stored below grade. The stretch sits above a former river and is a low spot, and more than five inches of rain fell in six hours that day, beyond what the city's drainage system is built for: 10-year storms.
That is why one street can flood while the next block stays dry. Keep floor drains clear, store belongings on shelves, and have a plumber check your sewer lateral, since roots, wipes and grease block service lines. If water gets in, call us early so drying starts before mold takes hold.
How We Handle Losses in Royal Oak
Royal Oak is a member of the George W. Kuhn program. The city is responsible for the main line and the homeowner for the sewer lateral up to and including the connection, so a blocked or damaged lateral is a private repair. In heavy rain a full sewer can push water up through basement floor drains. Oakland County's HomeGuard program installs backwater valves in participating homes. Winter adds frozen pipes in exterior walls and garages.
Mold usually follows water in Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak 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.
