Flood Damage Cleanup in Kentwood

Local crews · Open 24/7 · (616) 300-8900

Grand Rapids basements flood - from spring thaws, summer downpours that overwhelm the sewers, and sump pumps that quit in a power outage. Flood water is dirtier than a burst pipe, carrying silt and contaminants that demand professional cleanup, not just drying.

With a significant mix of residential properties including older homes and postwar subdivisions, Kentwood residents are familiar with the challenges that come with seasonal weather changes. Our team is here to help you recover from water, mold, and other damage.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Wyoming base at 921 36th Street Southwest #107 and cover all of Kentwood — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Kentwood or read more about flood damage cleanup.

While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we reach Kentwood.

Do

  • Shut off the water at the source or the main valve if you can reach it safely
  • Cut power to affected rooms at the breaker if outlets or appliances got wet
  • Move photos, electronics, and valuables somewhere dry
  • Take photos and video before you move anything large — your claim will thank you

Don’t

  • Use a household vacuum on standing water
  • Walk under sagging ceilings or across buckled floors
  • Leave wet rugs sitting on hardwood
  • Wait to see if it dries out on its own — it will not

Our Process

  1. 1

    You call, we answer

    Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.

  2. 2

    We assess

    Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.

  3. 3

    We do the work

    What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.

  4. 4

    You get your property back to normal

    Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Kentwood homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
