Water Damage Situations We Handle

Burst Pipes

Frozen pipes, corrosion failures, and pressure spikes. We locate the break, repair or replace the affected section, and pressure-test the system.

Flooded Basement

Sump pump failure, sewer backup, or foundation seepage. We identify the source, stop the water, and coordinate with restoration crews.

Appliance Failures

Washing machine hoses, dishwasher supply lines, refrigerator ice makers, and water heater tank failures. We repair the source and document for insurance.

Sewer Backup

Main line blockages can flood basements with sewage. We clear the line, camera-inspect for the cause, and recommend a permanent fix.

Supply Line Failures

Toilet supply lines, sink supply lines, and shutoff valves fail without warning. We replace the failed component and inspect the rest of the system.

Water Heater Failure

A failed tank can release 40–80 gallons of water. We shut off the supply, remove the failed unit, and install a replacement — same day.

Common Questions

What should I do first when I discover water damage?

Shut off the main water supply if the source is a plumbing failure. Do not enter a flooded basement if the electrical panel is in the flood zone. Call us immediately — the faster we respond, the less damage occurs.

Do you work with insurance companies?

We document the plumbing failure and repair thoroughly. We provide detailed invoices and can speak with your adjuster directly. We don't bill insurance directly, but we make the documentation process as easy as possible.

How do I prevent washing machine hose failures?

Replace rubber supply hoses with braided stainless steel. Rubber hoses have a lifespan of 5 to 8 years and fail without warning. Braided stainless hoses are rated for the life of the machine. This is a $30 fix that prevents a $30,000 disaster.

What is a sump pump battery backup?

A battery backup unit is a secondary pump that runs on a 12-volt marine battery. It activates automatically if the primary pump fails or if the power goes out during a storm — exactly when you need the pump most.

Can you prevent future water damage?

Yes. After we fix the source, we assess the system for other vulnerabilities: aging supply lines, missing expansion tanks, sump pumps without battery backup, and washing machine hoses past their service life. We give you a written list of what we found and what it costs to address each item.

How quickly can you respond to active water damage?

We dispatch immediately, 24/7. Our average response time across Metro Detroit is under 45 minutes. Every minute of active water damage increases the cost of restoration — call us the moment you discover it.
