Burst pipe, storm leak or flooded basement? Stop the source, take photos, and get connected with an independent local provider who can dry out and repair your home.
Most homeowners need one of three things. Full water damage restoration, water extraction with structural drying, or flooded basement cleanup. Pick the closest match below. A provider can adjust the plan once they see the damage.
Water Damage RestorationWater in your home needs a plan: stop the source, document everything, and reach a local provider in Flint.
Water Extraction and Structural DryingStanding water and wet walls need two steps: get the water out, then dry the structure fully.
Flooded Basement CleanupWater in your basement needs a plan: stop the source, take photos, and reach a local provider.
Water in your home? Send a request or Request a callback to check provider availability. Share a few photos and notes. A local provider will take it from there.
No obligationStop the source if you can. Shut off the main water valve. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Take photos and notes. Then contact a local provider. Stay out of deep standing water near outlets.
Mold can start within a day or two in damp, warm spaces. Humid summers speed it up. Dry the area fast and move wet items out. A provider can check moisture levels and tell you what needs to come out.
Extraction removes standing water with pumps and vacuums. Structural drying comes next. Fans and dehumidifiers pull moisture out of walls, floors and framing. Most jobs need both. A provider will check readings to confirm things are dry.
It depends on your policy and the cause. Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a burst pipe. Flood damage is often separate. Check your policy and ask your insurer. Photos and notes help any claim.
In the U.S., smaller jobs often run from about $1,000 to $5,000. Large floods cost more. Price depends on water depth, area and materials. Ask for a written quote before work starts.
Act now. Stop the source first. Then get a local provider on the job.
Exclusivelysusan Restoration is a referral service. We connect homeowners in Flint, MI with independent water damage restoration providers. We do not do the work. The provider does.
Here is why speed matters. Wet drywall, wood and carpet start to break down fast. Mold can begin in a day or two when rooms stay damp and warm. A burst pipe, a failed sump pump and a hail-driven roof leak all work the same way. The longer water sits, the further it spreads.
So keep it simple. Shut off the water or the power if it is safe. Take a few photos. Then reach out.

Exclusivelysusan Restoration is a referral service. We are not a restoration company. We do not do the work ourselves. The providers in our network are independent, local businesses. They set their own prices, schedules and methods.
That matters for you. Ask the provider about licensing, insurance and written quotes. Those details come from the provider, not from us.
A typical job has three parts:
Some jobs also need cleanup, removal of soaked materials and repairs. Your provider will explain which steps your home needs.
Make the scene safe. Stay out of standing water near outlets. Take photos of everything before anything moves. Write down what you see and when it started. Those notes make the estimate faster and clearer.
Exclusivelysusan Restoration covers Flint and the Greater Flint area. That includes older neighborhoods, newer subdivisions and the homes in between.
The homes here share a few traits. Many have full basements with sump pumps. Many are frame houses that have stood for decades. Bungalows and ranch homes are common. Each type fails in its own way. A bungalow basement floods from below. A ranch house slab can wick moisture into flooring. An older frame house hides leaks inside walls.
Providers in our network know these homes. They also know the local weather. Spring melt, summer thunderstorms and hail all send water into houses here.
Not sure which service you need? That is fine. Describe what you see. Add a few photos if you have them.
A provider will review your request and tell you what they suggest. You are under no obligation to hire anyone.
Spring is basement season. Snow melts. The ground is still hard below the surface, so water has nowhere to go. It pushes against foundation walls and finds cracks. Test your sump pump before the thaw. Pour in a bucket of water and watch it run.
Severe thunderstorms bring hard rain and hail. Hail dents roofs. Dents become leaks. Heavy rain can also overwhelm a sump pump or back up a floor drain. Then the heat and humidity arrive. Damp materials grow mold fast in warm, humid air. Dry things out quickly.
Fall is the calm before winter. Clean gutters. Point downspouts away from the house. Check basement walls for new cracks. Note where the sump discharge line ends. Small fixes now prevent big jobs later.
Deep frost reaches far into the ground here. Pipes in outside walls, crawl spaces and unheated garages can crack. The leak often shows up when things warm up. If you leave town, keep the heat on. Know where your main shutoff is.
A house with decades behind it has more places to hide water. Old supply lines. Worn seals. Cast iron drains. Check under sinks and around the water heater once a season.
Photos first. Take wide shots, then close-ups. Capture the water line on the wall. Write down the date, the time you noticed, and what you did. Keep receipts for anything you buy or rent. Do not toss damaged items until you have photographed them.
Some policies may cover sudden damage. Others do not. Check your policy and ask your insurer directly. Providers can often help document damage for a claim. Good records make that conversation easier.
Get a written quote. Ask what is included. Ask how drying will be checked. Compare more than one estimate if you can.
Ask for help while the damage is small. Share what happened, and add photos if you can.
