The Red Run
Its corridor is some of the only open space left in Warren.
Warren homes
Much of Warren sits on flat, clay-heavy former lakebed. Water does not soak in. In heavy rain it goes to the sewers, and when they fill, it comes back up floor drains. Category 3 water means removal and disinfection of what it touched.
Who manages the Red Run
The Red Run Inter-County Drain Board, covering Oakland and Macomb counties, has jurisdiction over the drain. Overflow from the George W. Kuhn basin in Madison Heights goes into the Red Run during heavy storms. When the channel runs high, local storm sewers in Warren drain more slowly, and basements are where the water shows up.
Sewage in the basement
If water came up a floor drain, assume it is Category 3. Wet carpet, pad and porous items it touched come out. We disinfect the slab and framing, then dry.
What do we see in Warren homes?
Warren has a lot of post-war ranch homes with basements, plus plenty of rental houses. In older basements the floor drain, the laundry tub and the water heater are often all in the same corner, so one failure can soak everything nearby. Landlords: ask tenants to report a damp smell now, because a slow leak in a vacant or rented basement can go unnoticed for weeks.
What should Warren homeowners watch for?
Housing is mostly post-war ranches with basements and many rentals. Lake weather, the Red Run and high groundwater are hard on sump pumps and foundation walls. Check the pump every spring.
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 do we do first?
We make the space safe and measure how far the water spread. Then the water comes out.
Do you do other work in Warren?
Yes, including mold removal and flooded basement cleanup.
