What do we see in Troy homes?
Typical houses are colonials and ranches with finished basements, plus offices. Water near the Rouge headwaters and Sturgeon Creek area, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
Headwaters of the Rouge
The Main Branch of the Rouge River starts in Troy as Sprague Ditch, and flows south and southwest toward Birmingham and Southfield. Because these headwaters run through heavily developed neighborhoods, small streams and drains can rise quickly when hard rain falls on roofs, roads and parking lots.
Troy homes
Much of Troy's housing is subdivision homes, with many colonials and ranches with basements. As those homes age, common causes of water damage include:
- Water heaters reaching the end of their life
- Sump pumps that fail or cannot keep up
- Supply line and fixture leaks
- Frozen pipes in exterior walls and over garages
Commercial properties
Troy's office buildings, hotels and retail centers can face sprinkler breaks, roof leaks and plumbing failures that affect tenants and guests. See commercial restoration.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.
What do we do first?
We make the space safe and measure how far the water spread. Then the water comes out.
Can you help after a fire?
Yes. See fire and smoke cleanup and electronics cleaning.
