Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Lansing, MI
From wind-driven rain to flash flooding, crews board up, extract, and dry the structure, then document everything for the claim. Storm and flood recovery starts with extraction and structural drying, then documenting the loss for an insurance or flood claim. Because floodwater carries soil and debris, affected porous materials are removed rather than dried, and the structure is re-checked as it dries.

Frequently asked questions
The yearly total is only 33 inches. Why are basements this wet?
Till and timing. Thirty-three inches would drain on sand. Here it perches, and June arrives while melt is still in the river. A 1959 basement is below that perched layer with no tile to relieve it. The climate is not tropical; the soil and the plumbing are unforgiving.
Water came up the floor drain during a June storm. Different from a wet wall?
Yes. A wet wall is perched groundwater. Water up a drain is the combined sewer surcharging, which means it carries waste. One is a sump and grading job; the other is a valve and a contaminated-water cleanup. Mixing them up is how the wrong work gets done.
REO Town and the older grid. Is the housing itself the issue?
The era is. Full basements, lime or early asphalt damp-proofing, drains tied to the sewer. That layout was normal in 1959 and is why a wet cellar here is a system problem, not a one-house defect. Newer plateau tracts fail differently, usually at the slab or the window well.
