Detroit has some of the oldest housing in the region, from pre-war brick homes to bungalows and flats built through the mid-century. Older buildings mean older plumbing, wiring and roofs, and that’s what we see most on calls here. We serve Detroit and the surrounding Wayne County communities from our Fraser shop and answer 24/7. Call 586-791-3900 when you need help.
Our crews have been answering emergency calls in Detroit and across the region since 1993. Select Restoration is a licensed Michigan contractor (#2102185156) that works with all insurance carriers and stays on your project from mitigation through reconstruction.

Flooded Basement & Water Damage Cleanup in Detroit
In older Detroit homes, aging sewer connections, galvanized pipes, boilers and water heaters are the usual causes of water damage, along with sump pump failures and basement seepage during heavy storms. Vacant or partly occupied properties can also suffer when a pipe freezes and nobody notices for days.
We extract the water, remove what can’t be saved and dry the structure with professional equipment. For landlords and property managers, we document each unit and work with your insurance carrier from the first call.

- Flooded basements in Detroit, pumped out and dried
