What usually goes wrong here?
Housing here is a mix of homes on larger lots, older farmhouses and newer subdivisions. Water problems often start with Honey Creek and the Huron River, a sump pump that loses power in a storm, or a pipe that freezes in an outside wall.
Honey Creek and the Huron
Honey Creek drains most of Scio Township to the Huron River at the upper end of Barton Pond. The township runs from the edge of Ann Arbor out to rural land toward Dexter.
Homes
Newer subdivisions with finished basements, older farmhouses, and homes on wells. We see sump pump failures, frozen pipes and septic backups.
Honey Creek by the numbers
Steep creeks rise and fall fast after a storm.
Septic systems matter here
If your septic backs up into a basement, that water is Category 3. We remove wet porous materials, disinfect, and dry. Have the system pumped and inspected before you use it heavily again.
Farms and horse properties
Much of the township is still farmland and horse pasture. Barns and outbuildings with water lines freeze in January. Insulate or drain them.
What is different about homes in Scio Township?
Scio Township mixes newer subdivisions with older farmhouses and homes on larger lots, and some of those homes use wells and septic systems. A failed well pump, pressure tank or water softener can flood a utility room just like a burst pipe. If your sump pump runs often in spring, check that the discharge line is clear and pointed away from the house.
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.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.
Is it more than water?
We also handle fire and smoke and storm damage, and we clean belongings.
