24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Novi, 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
Why is the ground behind the house always wet?
Because it was kept as a wetland when the subdivision was built, rather than filled. It is doing what it was preserved to do: holding water. The lots were laid out around it, which puts a number of houses directly alongside.
Can the wet area be drained or filled?
No, and that is rather the point of it. Preserved wetland is protected ground with restrictions attached to the lots around it, so filling, draining or even clearing within the buffer is not something a householder is free to do.
What drainage work is possible on the house side?
Work on the house side of the buffer line: a proper foundation drain taken to an outlet that is not the wetland, and grading within the lot. It is more constrained than a normal site and it is worth knowing where the line is before starting.
