Suburban subdivisions with finished basements
Most of Canton's housing is in subdivisions. Many of those homes have finished basements and rely on sump pumps. The most common water damage calls in that kind of housing are:
- Sump pump failure or power loss during a storm
- Water heater leaks in basement utility rooms as tanks reach the end of their life
- Washing machine hoses and toilet supply lines that burst
- Frozen pipes in exterior walls or above garages
The Lower Rouge and Tonquish Creek
The Lower Rouge River flows through Canton, and Tonquish Creek, a Rouge tributary, runs nearby. Low areas along both streams can see high water in heavy rain, and storm drains in older subdivisions can back up when they are overwhelmed.
Condos and townhomes
In attached housing, water from one unit can affect neighbors. Report leaks to your association now, and know which policy covers what: often the association covers the building and your HO-6 policy covers interior finishes and belongings.
What causes most calls here?
With newer colonials with finished basements and sump pumps, plus condos, the weak spots are floor drains, old sewer laterals and block walls near the Lower Rouge River.
What about the paperwork?
We keep photos and a daily moisture log and send them to you and your insurance company.
How long will drying take?
Usually a few days for clean water caught early. We check readings daily and leave the equipment until it reads dry.
Sewer or crawl space problems?
