EVERY HOUR COUNTS IN WATER DAMAGE EMERGENCIES
Water Damage Restoration in Michigan – 30 Years of Local Trust
Water damage isn’t just stressful — it’s a race against time. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warns that water-damaged areas must be dried within 24–48 hours to prevent mold growth. That short window often determines the difference between:
- A manageable cleanup
- A costly health hazard that impacts your family for years
For three decades, ConstrucTEAM has helped Michigan families through these emergencies. Our IICRC-certified team responds fast — because we know what’s at stake: your home, your health, and your peace of mind.

Common Questions from Michigan Homeowners
How quickly should I call for water damage?
Immediately. The EPA says drying must begin within 24–48 hours, but every hour of delay increases costs and risks.
Will my insurance cover this?
Most policies cover sudden water damage (burst pipes, appliance failures). Flooding and gradual damage often require separate coverage. We help maximize your benefits.
How long will I be displaced?
Most families stay home during restoration. If relocation is needed, it’s typically 3–5 days for major cases.
What if mold has already started growing?
We specialize in mold remediation — containing, removing, and treating with EPA-approved solutions before fixing the source so it doesn’t return.
What causes most basement flooding in Southeast Michigan?
Heavy rains, sump pump failures, and freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams also push melting snow into basements and walls.
