24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Lansing, MI
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

Frequently asked questions
What does a sewer separation leave behind?
A deep trench that has been dug out and put back. However well it is compacted, refilled ground is looser than the ground around it, and the connection to each house follows the same route, so there is a permeable line running from the street to the building.
Why does loose ground matter?
Because the soil here is tight and water takes the easiest path. Rain that would otherwise sit and slowly soak in finds the refilled trench, runs down it and arrives at the foundation at the point where the service enters. It is a route rather than a leak.
Can anything be done at the house end?
Yes, and it is worth doing because the street is not going to be dug up again. Sealing around the service entry and getting the ground immediately outside it to fall away deals with where the trench delivers, which is the only part within reach.
