Understanding Flood Damage in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor homeowners experience water damage more often than most think. Because the region has dense clay soil, frequent seasonal storms, rapid snowmelt, and countless older homes with outdated drainage systems, certain neighborhoods are particularly vulnerable.

Top Flood-Prone Areas Around Ann Arbor

• Burns Park
• Old West Side
• Pittsfield Township
• Lower Ypsilanti Township
• Scio Township neighborhoods near creeks
• Homes near Allen Creek & Malletts Creek
• Basements in older Ann Arbor homes (especially pre-1980)

Understanding the source of your flooding is key—and fixing it quickly prevents irreversible damage.

Most Common Causes of Flooding in Ann Arbor Homes

Flooding happens for different reasons, but here are the most common causes we see every week:

1. Heavy Rainfall and Flash Flooding

Ann Arbor experiences frequent storms that overwhelm gutters, soil, and drainage systems, causing water intrusion.

2. Sump Pump Failure

A failed sump pump can flood a finished or unfinished basement within minutes.
This is the #1 cause of basement flooding in our service area.

3. Winter Freeze–Thaw Cycles

When temperatures drop quickly, pipes freeze and burst.
When temperatures rise, melting snow quickly saturates soil and pushes water into basements.

4. Sewer Backups

Storm drains can become overwhelmed during heavy rain, forcing sewage into basements.

5. Appliance Malfunctions

A leaking water heater, clogged washing machine line, or failing dishwasher can flood your floors fast.

6. Foundation Cracks and Hydrostatic Pressure

Michigan’s clay soil expands, absorbing water during storms—and pushes water through cracks in your foundation.

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, immediate action is the difference between minor damage and a major restoration project.

Our Complete Flood Damage Restoration Process

When you call PuroClean of Ann Arbor, here’s exactly what happens next:

---

1. Emergency Response & Inspection (Arrive in Under 60 Minutes)

You’ll speak with a local technician immediately—never a call center.
We arrive quickly, assess the source of water, and determine the level of contamination.

---

2. Water Extraction & Removal

Using commercial-grade extraction equipment, we:

• Remove standing water
• Pump out flooded basements
• Extract water from carpets, flooring, and walls
• Prevent water from spreading to unaffected areas

This stops secondary damage from forming.

---

3. Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Once the water is removed, we use:

• High-velocity air movers
• Industrial dehumidifiers
• Moisture meters
• Infrared thermal imaging

This ensures that drywall, insulation, framing, flooring, and concrete dry completely.

---

4. Cleaning, Sanitizing & Odor Treatment

Floodwater can carry bacteria, debris, and unpleasant odors.
We clean, disinfect, deodorize, and apply antimicrobial solutions to prevent mold development.

---

5. Mold Prevention & Monitoring

Ann Arbor’s humidity makes mold grow quickly after flooding.
We monitor moisture levels daily and take proactive steps to stop mold in its tracks.

---

6. Repairs & Full Property Restoration

We restore your home to its pre-loss condition, including:

• Flooring replacement
• Drywall repairs
• Trim and paint
• Carpet replacement
• Cabinet repairs
• Structural repairs

You get one company from start to finish—no juggling multiple contractors.

What to Do Immediately If Your Home Is Flooded

If you’ve discovered a flood, follow these steps:

1. Stop the water source if you can.
2. Avoid walking on wet carpet or flooring.
3. Unplug electronics if safe to do so.
4. Move valuables to a dry area.
5. Do NOT use a home vacuum to remove water.
6. Avoid touching contaminated floodwater.
7. Call PuroClean of Ann Arbor immediately for 24/7 emergency help.

Floodwater spreads quickly, and mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours.
