Storm Damage Cleanup Services in 48121, MI
Emergency Roof Tarping
Torn or missing roof sections are covered with a heavy tarp so no more rain reaches the attic while the inside is dried.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so soaked porous materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Emergency Board Up Services
Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood so rain and wind stop coming in and the home is secure while drying runs.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 48121
Step 1: Secure the Building
Broken windows and doors are boarded up and roof damage is tarped so no more rain gets in.
Step 2: Remove Debris
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation that came inside are cleared so the floors and walls can be reached.
Step 3: Storm Damage Water Extraction
Water is removed from floors, carpet and under cabinets with pumps and extractors, starting where it is deepest.
Step 4: Dry and Monitor
Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the pros take daily readings, until walls and floors match dry areas.
How Storms Let Water Into 48121 Homes
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Residential and Commercial Storm Damage Restoration in 48121
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
In homes with finished basements, storm water can soak carpet, drywall and storage. The pros pump out the water, remove soaked finishes and dry the walls and slab.
Commercial Storm Damage Restoration
Commercial buildings with basement storage or mechanical rooms get pump-out, removal of wet materials and drying of the floor and walls.
Storm Cleanup: DIY or Professional?
Take photos and video of damage inside and outside, including broken windows and the roof, before anything is moved. Your insurer will ask for them.
Storm Damage Restoration Cost in 48121, MI
Board-up and tarping, debris removal, water extraction and drying are each priced separately, so the total depends on which ones your home needs.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Some policies have a separate wind or hail deductible. Read yours or ask your agent so you know what to expect before work begins.

Storm Damage Cleanup Questions Answered
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.

Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
Do I need to leave my home during storm cleanup?
Usually not, unless the damage makes the home unsafe or power is out. Wet areas are closed off while equipment runs.
What is emergency board-up?
Plywood is fastened over broken windows and doors so rain and wind stay out and the home is secure while it dries.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (313) 766-2970 for board-up, tarping and drying.
