During the May 2019 high water emergency, St. Clair Shores set up sandbag sites and urged residents along the shore and canals to stack sandbags. High lake levels push groundwater up around foundations, so seepage into basements and crawl areas can follow even without a storm.
Heavy rain adds a second risk. Heavy rain on July 28, 2025 flooded basements and streets around Jefferson and Masonic. When storm sewers are overwhelmed, water can back up through floor drains. We extract water, remove wet porous materials, disinfect after sewage, and dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in St. Clair Shores
Waterfront and canal properties in St. Clair Shores can see lake seepage, wind-driven rain and storm surge on the shoreline. Inland blocks face sewer backups and sump pump failures during cloudbursts. Winter brings frozen supply lines. A backwater valve, a battery backup for the sump pump and sandbags staged early all help.
Mold usually follows water in St. Clair Shores 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 St. Clair Shores 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.
