What do we see in Novi homes?
Typical houses are newer subdivision homes with finished basements, plus condos. Water near Walled Lake and the Rouge headwaters, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
Newer homes, bigger basements
Many Novi homes have big finished basements, often with a wet bar or a walkout. That space costs a lot to redo. Common causes we see:
- Sump pump failures during storms or power outages
- Burst supply lines to refrigerators, ice makers, sinks and toilets
- Water heater and softener leaks in basement mechanical rooms
- Frozen pipes in bonus rooms over garages and in exterior walls
Walled Lake Branch of the Rouge
The Walled Lake Branch of the Middle Rouge River starts in a wetland area in Novi, south of Walled Lake, before flowing toward Northville. Homes near lakes, wetlands and these drains can see high groundwater and surface water during wet springs.
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.
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.
