Disaster MD in Michigan provides water damage restoration for burst pipes, plumbing leaks, appliance overflows, basement flooding, sewage backups, and storm related water intrusion. Our crew inspects the property, finds and stops the source when possible, extracts standing water, maps moisture with meters, and dries the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers. We monitor drying progress and document the job with photos, moisture readings, equipment days, and scope notes. When materials cannot be saved, we handle selective demolition, and we can coordinate rebuild work after mitigation is complete. Disaster MD is an owner-operated, licensed Michigan restoration company serving homes and businesses across 23 counties, from Detroit and Ann Arbor to Flint, Lansing, and Port Huron.

Yes. Disaster MD answers water damage emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Water does not wait for business hours, and every hour it sits in flooring, drywall, and framing gives it more time to spread and cause secondary damage. When you call (833) 846-6445, you reach a team that can talk through what happened, help you take safe first steps, and get a crew moving toward your property. We serve homeowners and businesses across our 23-county Michigan service area, including Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, Lansing, Port Huron, and Lapeer. Once on site, we focus on stopping the source, extracting water, and setting up drying equipment so the damage is stabilized as quickly as possible.

Disaster MD responds quickly, day or night, because fast mitigation is the best way to limit water damage. Arrival time depends on your location within our 23-county Michigan service area, current weather, and how many emergencies are active, so we give you a realistic estimate when you call rather than a blanket promise. While our crew is on the way, we can walk you through safe steps such as shutting off the water supply if you can do so safely, avoiding electrical hazards, and moving small valuables out of wet areas. Once we arrive, we inspect the property, identify the source, and begin extraction and drying right away. Our goal is to stabilize the structure quickly and keep secondary damage, like swelling floors and mold growth, to a minimum.

Disaster MD Restoration Services, LLC is a licensed Michigan restoration company holding Michigan Residential Builders License 2102216295. That license matters because water damage jobs often move beyond drying into selective demolition and rebuild work, and we can coordinate that work after mitigation is complete. We are owner-operated, which means the people responsible for the company stay involved in how jobs are run. Every project follows a documented process: inspection, source control, extraction, moisture mapping with meters, drying with air movers and dehumidifiers, monitoring, and documentation with photos, readings, equipment days, and scope notes. Our shop and mailing address is 1897 N Lapeer Rd, Lapeer, MI 48446, and we serve 23 counties across Michigan.

Yes. Disaster MD provides mold remediation across Michigan, and it often goes hand in hand with water damage work. Mold needs moisture, so our first step is always to find and fix the moisture source, whether that is a slow leak, a past flood, or poor drying after an earlier loss. From there we contain the affected area to limit spread, remove porous materials that cannot be properly cleaned, clean remaining surfaces, and dry the structure. We document the work with photos and moisture readings so you have a clear record. We restore property; health questions go to a medical professional. If you notice musty odors or visible growth after water exposure, call Disaster MD at (833) 846-6445 and we can inspect the area.

Basement flooding is one of the most common water losses in Michigan, caused by heavy rain, sump pump failure, sewer backups, and groundwater seepage. Disaster MD starts by inspecting the basement, identifying the source, and determining the water category, because clean supply water and sewage are handled very differently. We extract standing water, remove wet materials that cannot be dried, such as saturated carpet pad or drywall, and set up air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the space. We map moisture in walls, floors, and framing with meters and monitor progress until materials reach dry standards. Every step is documented with photos, readings, and equipment days, which helps when you work with your insurance carrier.

Yes. Michigan storms can drive water through damaged roofs, broken windows, foundation cracks, and overwhelmed drainage. Disaster MD responds to storm related water damage across our 23-county service area. If a storm has left openings in your home or business, we can provide emergency board-up and tarping first to protect the structure from more weather. Then we extract water, remove debris, and dry the affected areas with air movers and dehumidifiers while tracking moisture with meters. Outdoor floodwater is treated as Category 3, grossly contaminated water, so affected porous materials are typically removed rather than dried in place. We document the loss and work with your carrier, and we can coordinate rebuild work once mitigation is complete.

Disaster MD follows a documented process on every water damage job in Michigan. First, we inspect the property and identify the water source, stopping it when possible. Next, we determine the water category and extract standing water. We then map moisture through flooring, drywall, and framing using moisture meters so we know exactly where water has traveled. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry the structure, and we return to monitor readings and adjust equipment until materials reach dry standards. When materials cannot be saved, we perform selective demolition to open cavities and remove damaged items. Throughout the job, we document photos, moisture readings, equipment days, and scope notes. Rebuild coordination follows once the structure is dry.

Disaster MD documents the loss and works with your carrier. Insurance claims for water damage depend heavily on clear records, so we photograph the damage before and during work, record moisture readings, track equipment days, and write scope notes that describe what was done and why. That documentation can be shared with your adjuster to help them understand the loss. We do not promise claim outcomes, coverage, or settlement amounts, because those decisions belong to your insurance company and depend on your policy. What we can do is respond quickly, mitigate the damage properly, and keep the paperwork organized so the process is easier for you. If you have questions about your policy, contact your agent or carrier directly while we focus on the property.

The cost of water damage restoration in Michigan depends on several factors, including how much area is affected, how long the water sat, the water category, the materials involved, and how many days of drying equipment are needed. A small Category 1 leak caught early costs far less than a Category 3 sewage backup that has soaked a finished basement. Because every loss is different, Disaster MD inspects the property before giving pricing so it reflects the real scope of work. Our documentation of photos, moisture readings, equipment days, and scope notes shows exactly what was done. The best way to keep costs down is to act quickly, since water spreads and causes more damage the longer it sits. Call (833) 846-6445 to schedule an inspection.

Start with safety. If water is near outlets, appliances, or the electrical panel, stay out of the area and do not touch anything electrical. If you can do so safely, shut off the main water supply to stop a burst pipe or leaking fixture. Move small valuables, documents, and electronics out of wet areas, and take photos or video of the damage before anything is moved or removed. Avoid using a household vacuum to pick up water, and stay away from water that may be contaminated, such as sewage or outdoor floodwater. Then call Disaster MD at (833) 846-6445, any time, day or night. We will talk through what happened, help you understand next steps, and get a crew moving to begin extraction, drying, and documentation as quickly as possible.

Yes. Sewage backups are Category 3 water, meaning they are grossly contaminated and require a different approach than a clean water leak. Disaster MD responds to sewage backups in homes and businesses across our 23-county Michigan service area. We extract contaminated water, remove porous materials such as carpet, pad, and saturated drywall that cannot be properly cleaned, and clean and disinfect the remaining surfaces. Once the area is cleaned, we dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers and confirm moisture levels with meters. Every step is documented with photos, readings, and scope notes. Our crew uses careful containment and cleanup procedures to protect unaffected areas of the property. Please avoid contact with sewage water and call (833) 846-6445.

The best way to limit mold after water damage is to dry the structure quickly and completely. Disaster MD begins by stopping the water source and extracting standing water as soon as possible. We then map moisture with meters to find water hidden behind walls, under flooring, and in framing, because those areas can stay wet long after surfaces look dry. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry materials, and we return to monitor readings and adjust equipment until the structure reaches dry standards. Materials that cannot be dried in time, such as soaked carpet pad or saturated drywall, are removed through selective demolition. If mold has already started, we can move into mold remediation, which begins by fixing the moisture source, followed by containment and removal.

Disaster MD handles all three categories of water damage. Category 1 is clean supply water, such as a burst pipe or leaking supply line. Category 2 involves significant contamination, such as appliance discharge from a washing machine or dishwasher. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water, including sewage backups and outdoor floodwater. Each category calls for a different approach, especially when deciding which materials can be dried and which must be removed. Common causes we see across Michigan include frozen and burst pipes, water heater failures, sump pump failures, roof leaks, toilet overflows, and storm flooding. Whatever the cause, our process stays consistent: inspect, stop the source, extract, map moisture, dry, monitor, and document every step for your records and your carrier.

Yes. Ceiling leaks from roof damage, upstairs bathrooms, plumbing lines, or HVAC condensation are common in Michigan homes and businesses. Water in a ceiling can collect above drywall, spread across insulation, and run down into walls before it is visible. Disaster MD inspects the area, traces the source, and uses moisture meters to see how far water has traveled. Sagging or saturated ceiling drywall and wet insulation are often removed through selective demolition so the cavity can dry properly. We then set up air movers and dehumidifiers and monitor the drying until readings show the structure is dry. If a storm caused the leak, we can tarp the roof or board up openings first. After mitigation, we can coordinate rebuild work to restore the ceiling.

Disaster MD is an owner-operated Michigan restoration company, so the people responsible for the business stay close to how every job is handled. We are licensed, holding Michigan Residential Builders License 2102216295, and we follow a documented process on each project: inspection, source control, extraction, moisture mapping with meters, drying with air movers and dehumidifiers, monitoring, and documentation with photos, readings, equipment days, and scope notes. We are available 24/7 across 23 Michigan counties. Beyond water damage, we handle fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, trauma and biohazard cleanup, demolition and debris removal, and emergency board-up, so one team can manage a loss from mitigation through rebuild coordination. We are straightforward about insurance too: we document the loss and work with your carrier, without promising outcomes.

Disaster MD uses professional water extraction equipment to remove standing water from floors, carpet, and basements quickly. To find water that is not visible, our crew uses moisture meters to map how far water has traveled through drywall, flooring, subfloor, and framing, and we record those readings as part of the job file. For drying, we place commercial air movers to move air across wet surfaces and dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air so materials can release it. Equipment placement is adjusted as the job progresses based on monitoring visits and updated readings. For storm openings, we use plywood, tarps, and temporary coverings for emergency board-up. Every piece of equipment is tracked by equipment days, which becomes part of the documentation we provide for your records and your insurance carrier.

Yes. Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators with ice makers, and water heaters are frequent causes of water damage in Michigan homes. A failed supply line or drain hose can release a large amount of water quickly, and the water often runs under cabinets, behind baseboards, and into subflooring. Appliance discharge is often Category 2 water, meaning it carries significant contamination, so it needs to be handled with care. Disaster MD stops the source, extracts water, and maps moisture with meters to find where water has spread. We may remove toe kicks or baseboards to dry hidden cavities, then set up air movers and dehumidifiers and monitor progress until materials are dry. We document every step with photos, readings, and scope notes for your records and your carrier.
