Water Damage Restoration in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Water damage in Metro Detroit often means basement flooding during heavy storms, sewer backups, burst pipes in a deep freeze, or roof and ice dam leaks. The work runs in two phases: emergency water removal and drying, then repair and rebuilding of what was damaged.
Drying comes first and should start fast. A water damage restoration company extracts water, removes soaked materials and dries the structure with moisture readings. After that, a general contractor rebuilds drywall, flooring, cabinets and trim.
Fix the source before rebuilding: a failed sump pump, a cracked foundation, a roof leak or a backflow problem. Sewer water brings contamination concerns, and water left too long can lead to mold.
What a proper job includes
- Documentation of damage for your insurer
- Moisture readings confirming the structure is dry
- Removal of damaged drywall, insulation and flooring
- Repair of the source with the right licensed trade
- Rebuild of drywall, trim, flooring and cabinets
- Electrical and mechanical checks where water reached them
- Permits where rebuilding requires them
What drives the price
- Clean water, gray water or sewage
- Area affected and how long it stayed wet
- Materials: drywall, plaster, hardwood, carpet or cabinets
- Mold found during demolition
- Source repairs such as sump, plumbing or roof
- Electrical or HVAC equipment damaged by water
- Finish level for replacement materials

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Drying and cleanup usually do not need permits, but rebuilding with new wiring, plumbing, HVAC or structural repairs does. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; elsewhere, the city or township building department (or the county or state, where they enforce) issues them.
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA under Article 24 of the Occupational Code. A license is required for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law. Under the Michigan Construction Lien Act, your contractor gives you a sworn statement listing subcontractors and suppliers when requesting payment. Collect lien waivers as each is paid.

Common questions
Water Damage Restoration FAQ
As soon as possible. The longer materials stay wet, the more damage and mold risk.
It depends on the cause and your policy. Sewer backup and flood often need separate coverage.
Drywall and flooring replacement may not, but electrical, plumbing, HVAC and structural repairs need permits.
No. Fix the source first so the new work is not damaged again.
Stop and have it assessed before rebuilding. Mold growth is removed and the cause corrected, then the area is dried and verified before walls are closed.
