Which parts of Plymouth do we cover?
We cover downtown Plymouth around Kellogg Park, Old Village and the neighborhoods along Ann Arbor Trail. We head out M-14 east from downtown Ann Arbor. We serve homes and businesses around Kellogg Park and downtown, Old Village, the tree-lined neighborhoods around the city, and the larger subdivisions of Plymouth Township.
Historic homes and older plumbing
Plymouth's downtown neighborhoods and Old Village include many very old homes. Older foundations, aging cast iron drains and supply lines that have been modified many times over the years make leaks and seepage more likely. Tree roots can also crack old clay sewer laterals and cause backups.
Two Rouge streams
The Middle Rouge River flows through Plymouth on its way from Northville toward Livonia and Westland, and Tonquish Creek, another Rouge tributary, runs through town. Friends of the Rouge describe Tonquish Creek as heavily affected by stormwater, and nearby homes have reported flooding linked to runoff. Friends of the Rouge has built rain gardens at the Plymouth Arts & Recreation Complex to help hold back that runoff.
Township subdivisions
Plymouth Township's newer subdivisions see the typical suburban causes: sump pump failures, water heater leaks, burst washing machine hoses and frozen pipes in exterior walls.
Where does the water come from?
Homes here are mostly older homes near downtown with original foundations and newer homes farther out. In a hard rain, the Middle Rouge River runs high and floor drains can back up.
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 else can we help with in Plymouth?
We also clean up after fires, mold and sewage backups.
