Mid-century homes

Much of Livonia's housing is brick ranches, bungalows and colonials. In those homes we often see:

Aging galvanized supply pipes that corrode and leak
Original cast iron or clay sewer lines that crack or fill with roots
Basement floor drains that back up during intense rain
Water heaters and laundry connections in unfinished or partly finished basements

Rouge River branches

Branches of the Rouge River pass through and near Livonia, including the Middle Rouge in the southwest corner of the city and the Upper Rouge to the north. Low areas near these streams can take on water when they rise.

If water came up through the floor drain

Assume it may be contaminated. Keep people and pets out, do not use fans or a shop vac, and call us. See sewage backup cleanup.

Where does the water come from?

Homes here are mostly brick ranches, tri-levels and colonials, many with basements or crawlspaces. In a hard rain, the Middle Rouge and its tributaries runs high and floor drains can back up.

Is sewage water different?

Yes. Anything soft that sewage touched usually goes, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.

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 else can we help with in Livonia?

We also clean up after fires, mold and sewage backups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my Livonia basement floor drain back up during a storm?

Intense rain can overwhelm sewers and push water back into basements. A plumber can advise on a backwater valve.

Are old galvanized pipes a risk?

Yes. They corrode from the inside and can leak or burst. Consider having a plumber inspect them.

Does insurance cover a sewer backup in Livonia?

Many policies only cover it with a sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy.

Yes. We cover the subdivisions between Five Mile and Eight Mile and the areas near Schoolcraft College and Laurel Park, any hour.
