What causes water damage in Red Run Corridor?

Common water damage causes in Red Run Corridor: Red Run Drain system backflow during rain events above 1.5 inches per hour — the drain and its Macomb County tributary branches surcharge and force water back through basement floor drains throughout central Sterling Heights; Clinton River watershed spring flooding in Sterling Heights' northern drainage areas — neighborhoods near Clinton River tributaries experience yard and foundation flooding each snowmelt season; Combined sewer overflow in older sections of western Sterling Heights near Van Dyke Avenue — documented sewage backup events in homes connected to the Detroit-area combined system; Ice dam formation on 1960s-1980s ranch homes — Sterling Heights' dominant low-pitch roof housing stock is prone to ice dam water intrusion from December through March during freeze-thaw cycles.

Important: Sewer water is Category 3. Nothing porous it touched is dried and kept, which makes it a larger job than clean water at the same depth.

Do you handle flood damage restoration in Red Run Corridor?

YesWhen the flooding started inside the house: a burst pipe, a failed water heater, an appliance line, a sewage backup or a sump pump that quit — that is the flood damage restoration crews in Red Run Corridor are called for every week, and it is covered by a standard homeowners policy as sudden damage.

Rising water from outside — a river, a storm surge, street flooding — is a different claim (NFIP or a private flood policy, not homeowners) and the cleanup is Category 3 work from the first minute. Either way the drying has to start the same day; the difference is who pays.
