Wayne County Knows Basement Flooding

Basement flooding is one of the most common emergencies in Wayne County. Older combined sewers in Detroit, Dearborn and the Grosse Pointes can back up during heavy rain, pushing water up through floor drains, as thousands of homeowners saw in the 2021 storms.

Select Restoration serves Wayne County from our shop in Fraser. We are a licensed Michigan contractor (#2102185156), in business since 1993. We remove the water, safely remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect, dry the structure and rebuild.

If water came up through a floor drain, treat it as sewage: stay out of it and keep kids and pets away until it is cleaned up.

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 flooded basement 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.

A Backwater Valve Can Help
