The Difference

Back to Normal in Kentwood

Kentwood homeowners and business owners get the water stopped at its source, with the failed pump, drain line, pipe or water heater repaired behind it. Drying then starts on a floor that stays dry, and the next storm meets a working sump pump and a clear main line.

Every hour the source runs, water climbs toward the furnace and the outlets.

Kentwood Flooded Basement Repair Questions

Does Kentwood Need to See Sewer Backup Damage Before Cleanup?

Yes, for reimbursement. Kentwood's brochure states all property damage must be inspected before cleanup if reimbursement is to be considered; the city's insurance adjuster inspects, and the claim goes to the Finance Department within 45 days.

What Does Flooded Basement Repair Involve?

The process starts with a call or form request to the 24/7 line. When water stands near the panel or above the outlets, power shutoff goes to Consumers Energy or an electrician first. For supply water, the plumber walks the caller through closing the main shutoff valve or the water heater's cold-water inlet valve. On site, the plumber checks the sump pit, floor drain, water heater and supply lines, explains the repair before starting, then repairs or replaces the pump, clears the main line or fixes the pipe. Extraction and drying go to a restoration contractor.
