it’s share of problems. There is water coming from everywhere.
This one occasion though things seem different. I am seening
water coming through the floor in basements on a wholesale
bases. The places like Farmington Hills and Sterling Heights
and Southfield that usually have their fair share of moisture
are now leaking from the floor big time.

This can be caused by a slow to react sump pump if you have one.
Maybe yours needs to be changed. On the other hand if yours
is pumping water out before it gets half way up there is a good
chance that your drain tiles around the outside of the basement
have filled up with silt and sand and can no longer handle all
the water trying to get in.

We can fix both things but it is your duty to call right away
and get the ball rolling. The longer you wait the more mold
builds up. Mold starts within 24 hours of the carppet getting wet.
The padding is the first place. Then the carpet itself. After a
couple weeks the house could smell so bad that you would have
to get out for your own good.
