The August 11, 2014 flooding damaged or destroyed many cars, including several at the Laurel Valley apartment complex on Dequindre at 15 1/2 Mile Road. On August 13, 2019, officials barricaded flooded roads, including near Schoenherr and Plum Brook.
Repeated storms are a reason to plan, even if your basement has stayed dry. Check that your sump pump is on a dedicated outlet, add a battery backup, and keep the discharge line clear. Apartment residents and commercial tenants should know where the shutoff is and photograph damage before cleanup, since water on one level often moves to the one below.
How We Handle Losses in Sterling Heights
Sterling Heights properties face flash flooding from intense rain, sump pump overload and sewer backups, along with frozen pipes in winter. Parking areas and low-lying yards can funnel water toward foundations. We extract standing water, dry the structure, treat for mold and document the readings that support your claim.
Mold usually follows water in Sterling 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 Sterling 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.
