Where the two branches meet
The north and south branches of Ecorse Creek meet in Lincoln Park before the creek runs to the Detroit River. Flood-prone areas are mapped along the creek and along the Sexton-Kilfoil drain.
Older homes, older drains
Lincoln Park has a lot of older housing. Basements were built as utility space, often with a floor drain in the middle and a laundry tub next to it. Backups are common in heavy rain.
Curbside proof
Before anything goes out to the curb, photograph it and write it down.
Why do basements here take on water?
You will find older brick bungalows and two-story homes with basements. Heavy rain and Ecorse Creek push water at basements and sewer lines.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.
What about the paperwork?
We keep photos and a daily moisture log and send them to you and your insurance company.
Can you help after a fire?
Yes. See fire and smoke cleanup and electronics cleaning.
