We work across the subdivisions off Michigan Avenue, State Street and Carpenter Road, and the neighborhoods near Lillie Park. From our Ann Arbor office we usually take State Street or US-23 south, so Pittsfield Township is a short drive.
What usually goes wrong here?
Housing here is a mix of newer subdivision homes with finished basements and townhome communities. Water problems often start with Malletts Creek and its drains, a sump pump that loses power in a storm, or a pipe that freezes in an outside wall.
Malletts Creek
Much of Pittsfield Township drains to Malletts Creek, which flows through Ann Arbor to the Huron River. Roofs, parking lots and roads send rain into the creek fast, so its level jumps in a hard storm.
What we see
Subdivision homes with finished basements, condos and apartments along State Street and Washtenaw Avenue. The common calls are sump pump failures, water heater leaks and leaks between condo units.
A flashy creek
That makes it a flashy creek: it rises fast after rain.
What it means for your house
Fast runoff means storm sewers fill quickly. Keep gutters clean, extend downspouts at least several feet from the foundation, and make sure your yard slopes away from the house. Those three things prevent a lot of basement seepage.
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 about the paperwork?
We keep photos and a daily moisture log and send them to you and your insurance company.
What about mold?
If a leak sat for a while, see mold remediation. Mold estimates are free.
