What do we see in Rochester Hills homes?
Typical houses are colonials with finished basements and homes near the river. Water near the Clinton River and Paint Creek, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
Three streams meet here
Paint Creek, the only designated cold-water trout stream in Southeast Michigan, flows through Rochester Hills to the Clinton River in Rochester. Stony Creek joins the Clinton at Bloomer Park in Rochester Hills.
Subdivisions and finished basements
Many Rochester Hills homes have finished basements and sump pumps. A pump failure in a storm is the classic call. Battery backup pumps and high-water alarms pay for themselves.
What does drying look like?
Extract the water, cut drywall above the wet line if needed, set air movers and dehumidifiers. Typically 3 to 5 days, with readings logged daily.
Fast creeks
In Rochester, the Clinton River picks up Paint Creek and Stony Creek. Paint Creek starts in the Oxford Township and Lake Orion area. Stony Creek starts at Lakeville Lake in Addison Township and flows through Stony Creek Lake. Steep creeks rise fast in a heavy storm.
Stony Creek joins the Clinton at Bloomer Park, right here in Rochester Hills.
Check your discharge line
A sump pump that dumps water next to the foundation just recycles it back into the pit. Run the discharge at least 10 feet from the house and make sure it is not frozen in winter. A frozen discharge line can burn out a pump in a single night.
What do we do first?
We make the space safe and measure how far the water spread. Then the water comes out.
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.
Can you help after a fire?
Yes. See fire and smoke cleanup and electronics cleaning.
