When a Storm Floods Your Home

Southeast Michigan has seen some major flood events, from the August 2014 storms in Warren and Royal Oak to the 2021 flooding in Detroit, Dearborn and the Grosse Pointes. When heavy rain overwhelms the sewers, water comes in through floor drains, window wells and foundation cracks.

Flood water is dirty water. It carries mud, sewage and bacteria, so cleanup is about sanitizing as much as drying. Select Restoration removes the water and debris, takes out contaminated materials, cleans and disinfects, and dries the structure with commercial equipment.

After a regional storm, call early. We answer 24/7 and work through our call list as fast as our crews can move.

IICRC Certified Firm #70014686

We Follow the ANSI/IICRC S500 Water Damage Standard

ANSI/IICRC S500 is the standard for professional water damage restoration. It spells out how a water loss should be assessed, how water is extracted, how the structure is dried and how moisture is monitored until the job is truly done. Select Restoration is an IICRC Certified Firm, our technicians are IICRC certified, and we follow S500 on every flood & water damage cleanup job.

IICRC Certified Firm badge

Certified Firm #70014686
Category & class first
We identify the water category (1 clean, 2 gray, 3 black water like sewage or flood water) and the class of the loss. That decides what can be dried in place and what has to be removed.
Safety and contamination
Category 2 and 3 water gets the protective equipment, removal of contaminated porous materials and cleaning the standard calls for.
Extraction before drying
Removing as much water as possible first shortens drying time and saves more of your home.
A drying plan by the numbers
Dehumidifiers and air movers are sized to the space, and we track temperature and humidity to keep drying on pace.
Daily moisture monitoring
We measure the structure every day and compare it to dry, unaffected materials. Equipment stays until the drying goal is met.
Hidden moisture found
Moisture meters and thermal imaging find water behind walls, under floors and in ceilings, so nothing wet gets closed back up.
Mold prevention
Fast, verified drying is the best protection against mold. Where the standard calls for it, affected areas are cleaned and treated.
Documentation insurers recognize
Readings, photos and notes are logged in a way insurance carriers and adjusters recognize.

Why Homeowners Trust Select Restoration

When water gets into your home, you need to know the people coming through your door will do the job right. Select Restoration is a local, family-run company that has served Metro Detroit for 30+ years. We are not a franchise or a call center. Our shop is on Utica Road in Fraser, and the crew drying your home is our own.

Following S500 means we measure instead of guess, and our equipment stays until the readings prove your home is dry, not just until the carpet feels dry. We work directly with your insurance company, document every step, and our own crews handle the repairs, so you deal with one team from the first call to the final walkthrough. As an IICRC Certified Firm, we employ certified technicians, carry liability insurance, keep a written complaint policy and follow the IICRC code of ethics. You can learn more at iicrc.org.

Flood Insurance vs. Homeowners Insurance

Standard homeowners policies usually do not cover surface flooding. Sewer backup coverage is often a separate endorsement, and flood insurance is a separate policy. Check what you have. Either way, we document the damage with photos and readings.
