Inkster and Ecorse Creek
Inkster is in the North Branch of Ecorse Creek watershed. The creek’s FEMA floodway begins east of Inkster.
What should you do first?
Keep kids and pets away from the water. Do not run fans or a shop vac through sewage. Take photos of the water line and anything damaged. Then call us. Floor-drain water is cleaned and disinfected, more than dried.
The Lower Rouge too
Inkster is more than in the Ecorse Creek watershed. The Lower Rouge River runs through the city.
What do we see in Inkster homes?
Many Inkster homes are older houses with basements, and many are rentals. Older cast iron or clay drain lines can crack or clog with roots, which leads to backups during heavy rain. If your floor drain backs up more than once, have a plumber inspect the line. Sewage water should be cleaned by a pro, because porous items it touches usually have to go.
Where does the water come from?
Homes here are mostly older brick homes with basements and many rentals. In a hard rain, the Lower Rouge River and Ecorse Creek runs high and floor drains can back up.
What happens when we get there?
We take photos and moisture readings, pull the water out and set up drying. We handle your project from start to finish.
What do we do first?
We make the space safe and measure how far the water spread. Then the water comes out.
What about mold?
If a leak sat for a while, see mold remediation. Mold estimates are free.
