What do we see in Farmington Hills homes?
Typical houses are ranches and colonials with basements, plus condos and apartments. Water near the Upper Rouge River, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
Upper Rouge headwaters
The Upper Branch of the Rouge River begins in this area as small tributaries before flowing through Farmington and on toward Livonia and Redford. Parts of the Main Branch watershed also reach into Farmington Hills. Low areas near these streams and county drains can take on water in heavy rain.
A range of housing ages
Farmington Hills has a wide mix of homes: post-war houses near Farmington, mid-century ranches and colonials, and newer subdivisions and condos. That means a wide range of plumbing, from original galvanized lines to modern PEX, and a range of foundations. Common calls include:
- Basement seepage in older homes during wet springs
- Sewer lateral backups where tree roots have entered older lines
- Sump pump failures in newer homes with finished basements
- Burst pipes during cold snaps
Office and medical buildings
Farmington Hills has many offices and medical buildings. A sprinkler line break or roof leak can affect several suites. See commercial restoration.
Is sewage water different?
Yes. Anything soft that sewage touched usually goes, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.
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.
Do you do other work in Farmington Hills?
Yes, including mold removal and flooded basement cleanup.
