Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Jackson, Michigan Area

What Makes Jackson, Michigan Different

Jackson sits near the headwaters of the Grand River in south central Michigan, and the river starts its long run north right through town. The county is dotted with small lakes, and many homes sit close to the water table. Most houses have basements, and a lot of them are old enough that the walls seep in a wet spring.

Snowmelt, spring rain and summer thunderstorms all push water into basements. Storm sewers in older neighborhoods can back up through floor drains during a hard rain. Sewer backup is usually not covered by a standard homeowners policy unless you add an endorsement, so ask your agent now.

Winters are cold and long. Pipes on outside walls, in crawlspaces and in garages freeze and split, and the leak often shows up only when the thaw comes. Know where your main water shutoff is before the first deep freeze. Summers are humid, so a damp basement can grow mold within a day or two.
