Which parts of Westland do we cover?
We cover the neighborhoods off Ford Road, Wayne Road and Warren Avenue and the areas near Hines Park. We head out I-94 or M-14 to I-275 from downtown Ann Arbor. We work in homes, apartments and businesses across Westland, from the subdivisions off Ford Road and Warren Road to the commercial strip along Wayne Road.
Part of the Ecorse Creek watershed
Rain that falls in Westland drains in part to Ecorse Creek, a 16-mile county drain that empties into the Detroit River. The watershed has a long flood history.
The houses
Many Westland homes have a basement laundry area right next to the floor drain. When the drain backs up, water spreads under the washer, the furnace and stored boxes first. Move what you can, photograph the rest, and do not run a shop vac through sewage.
Hines Park and the Middle Rouge
The Middle Rouge River runs along Hines Drive through Westland. Merriman Hollow Park, a Wayne County park along Hines Drive west of Merriman Road, is the site of a planned wetland restoration. The Alliance of Rouge Communities says the river’s flat slope and meandering channel cannot pass large storm flows.
What causes most calls here?
With brick ranches and bungalows, apartment complexes and rental homes, the weak spots are floor drains, old sewer laterals and block walls near the Middle Rouge and Hines Park.
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.
Will you have to tear out drywall?
Only if it cannot be dried. Moisture readings decide, and we tell you before anything is cut.
Sewer or crawl space problems?
