Seepage, a Sump Failure, or a Backup
| Source | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Water through the foundation | Saturated ground outside forces water through a crack, usually showing along the lower wall. |
| Sump pit overflow | The pump fails, often with the power, and the pit's water rises into the room. Usually clean. |
| A backup from the sewer system | Water comes up a floor drain, not a wall crack. Assume it's contaminated. |
What to Do Before We Arrive
- Avoid any standing water near an outlet or a cord.
- Photograph the waterline and the source, if it's visible.
- Move what's on the floor up off it.
- Call so the crew can start extraction that visit.
Redford Township, specifically. Lola Valley Park, inside Redford Township at Beech Daly and Puritan, carries about 1.5 miles of the Upper Branch of the Rouge River through 58 acres of county-owned riparian parkland; a 2019-2023 restoration project rebuilt 9.6 acres of wetland and prairie habitat along that stretch. On July 24, 2021, thunderstorms dropped 1.75 to 2.5 inches of rain in a short window across the Detroit area, flooding roadways and stranding cars at the Davison and John C. Lodge Freeways and closing stretches of the Southfield Freeway (M-39) between Joy Road and Rotunda Drive, a corridor that runs through Redford Township.
