What do we see in Madison Heights homes?
Typical houses are post-war ranches with basements. Water near the Red Run, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
Where the Red Run begins
The Red Run, the most urbanized tributary of the Clinton River, begins in Madison Heights. Here it runs enclosed underground before opening up as a channel at Dequindre Road in Warren. Royal Oak’s buried branches feed into it too.
Homes and industry
Madison Heights mixes homes with industrial and commercial buildings along I-75 and John R. In homes, the usual problems are floor drain backups and old water heaters. In commercial space, it is roof leaks and sprinkler lines.
How we dry
Extract first, then air movers and low-grain dehumidifiers. We take moisture readings every day and pull equipment only when materials read dry.
The Kuhn basin under I-75
The George W. It serves 14 southeast Oakland communities with combined sewers, where rain and sewage share the same pipes. In dry weather, flow goes to Detroit’s treatment plant. In heavy rain, the excess is stored, screened and disinfected, then released to the Red Run.
Why that matters in a basement
In a combined system, water that backs up through a floor drain is part sewage. That is Category 3. We remove carpet, pad and wet drywall it touched, disinfect, then dry. A backwater valve installed by a plumber can help keep it from coming back.
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.
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 Madison Heights?
Yes, including mold removal and flooded basement cleanup.
