Getting to Chesterfield Township
We reach Chesterfield Township by I-94 east and work in the lakeside neighborhoods, the canal homes and the subdivisions off 23 Mile and Gratiot.
Anchor Bay and the Salt River
Chesterfield Township is in both the Anchor Bay and Clinton River watersheds, and the Salt River carries runoff to Lake St. Clair.
What we handle
Shoreline flooding, basement seepage, sump pump failures and burst pipes. Lake water is treated as contaminated. Clean supply-line water is dried in place when we can start early.
Recent flooding in Chesterfield
Chesterfield has had several local floods in recent years.
Egress windows and window wells
Window wells fill like buckets in heavy rain. Keep drains at the bottom clear, add covers, and make sure the ground slopes away. When a well overflows, water pours straight into the basement.
Canal homes
Water that comes over a seawall or up from a canal is Category 3. Carpet, pad and low drywall usually come out, and we disinfect before drying.
What should lakeside Chesterfield homeowners watch for?
Homes near Lake St. Clair and the canals deal with water from two directions: rain from above and high groundwater or lake water from below. After a wet spell, look for damp concrete along the base of basement walls, rust on the sump basin lid and water marks near floor vents and crawlspace openings.
Test your sump pump before spring by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If you have a battery backup, check the date on the battery.
When water does get in, we extract it, check the walls and subfloor with moisture meters, and dry the space to normal readings before anything is closed up again.
What should Chesterfield Township homeowners watch for?
Housing is mostly lake and canal homes and newer subdivisions. Lake weather, Lake St. Clair and the Salt River and high groundwater are hard on sump pumps and foundation walls. Check the pump every spring.
Is sewage water different?
Yes. Anything soft that sewage touched usually goes, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.
Do you do other work in Chesterfield Township?
Yes, including mold removal and flooded basement cleanup.
