We restore water damage “Like it never even happened” in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township teams are trusted leaders in water damage restoration services in New Haven. Some most common causes of water damage in homes are:

Plumbing Failures: Burst pipes, leaking faucets, and damaged plumbing fixtures account for a significant portion of water damage incidents. Corrosion, freezing temperatures, and aging infrastructure contribute to these failures.

Appliance Malfunctions: Faulty washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and water heaters can leak or overflow, leading to extensive water damage if not promptly addressed. Issues such as worn hoses, clogged drains, and malfunctioning valves are frequent causes.

Weather-related Events: Severe weather, including heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and flooding, can infiltrate homes through compromised roofs, windows, or foundation cracks, causing significant water damage.

Roof Leaks: Damaged or deteriorating roofing materials, such as shingles or flashing, can allow water to seep into the attic and living spaces below, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and compromised insulation.

Poor Drainage: Inadequate grading around the foundation, clogged gutters, and blocked drainage systems can result in water pooling near the home, increasing the risk of foundation leaks and basement flooding.

Sewer Backups: Blockages or malfunctions in the sewer lines can cause sewage to return to the home, resulting in extensive water damage and severe health hazards.
