What we see in Redford basements
- Floor drains that back up when the sewer fills during a hard rain
- Seepage where the wall meets the floor, worse after a wet spring when clay soil stays saturated
- Galvanized supply pipes that rust through
- Old water heaters tucked behind basement paneling, where leaks go unnoticed for weeks
Paneling hides water
Wood paneling and drop ceilings in finished basements trap moisture. We use a thermal camera and moisture meter to find wet areas behind them, then remove only what needs to come out.

Sewer work
Redford has planned a combined sewer overflow retention basin and is separating combined sewers into separate sanitary and storm lines. The goal is to reduce overflows into the river.
Why do basements here take on water?
You will find brick bungalows and ranches with basements, many decades old. Heavy rain and the Upper Rouge River push water at basements and sewer lines.
Is sewage water different?
Yes. Anything soft that sewage touched usually goes, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Redford basement leak where the wall meets the floor?
That joint is the weak point when clay soil is saturated. Hydrostatic pressure pushes water through it.
Can basement paneling be saved?
Sometimes, if it is solid wood and dried quickly. Particleboard paneling usually swells and has to go.
Do you come out to the neighborhoods off Telegraph Road?
Yes. We cover the neighborhoods off Telegraph Road, Grand River Avenue and Five Mile, any hour.
How do you get to Redford from Ann Arbor?
