24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Midland, 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 is the strip of glass above the ceiling?
Clerestory glazing, set high in the wall to bring daylight deep into the rooms without giving anything away to the street. It is one of the reasons these houses look the way they do, and it puts a window directly above a flat roof.
Why is that junction a problem in winter?
Because snow sits against it. A flat roof holds its snow rather than shedding it, so the pack banks up against the glazing and the flashing below it for months, and every thaw drives meltwater at a detail that was designed for rain running down.
Does the design make repairs harder?
It makes them slower, and worth doing carefully. These are distinctive houses with details that were drawn for each one, so there is no standard assembly to order. Matching what is there generally means fabricating, and rushing that is how the character gets lost.
