Disaster Restoration Services

Damage Restoration Built for Michigan's Extreme Weather

ServiceMaster Restoration Services helps homes and businesses across Saginaw and the Great Lakes Bay Region recover from fire, water, storm, mold, and sewage damage, from the first emergency call through final repairs. Saginaw sits on the flat floor of the Saginaw Valley, where the Tittabawassee, Shiawassee, Cass, and Flint Rivers come together to form the Saginaw River on its way to Saginaw Bay. That much water flowing through a low, level landscape keeps groundwater high and drainage slow, and floods along these rivers have reached homes and businesses across the area before. Dense clay soil holds rainwater against foundations long after a storm passes. Summer thunderstorms bring heavy rain, damaging winds, and tornado warnings, while Michigan winters bring ice storms, deep freezes, and freeze-thaw cycles that burst pipes and build ice dams. Older homes in Old Town, the Cathedral District, and neighborhoods on both sides of the river often have aging foundations, plumbing, and wiring. Manufacturers, healthcare facilities, and businesses along the I-75 corridor depend on keeping operations running. When disaster strikes, our team responds quickly to stop the damage and restore your property.

Restoration Services Shaped by Saginaw’s Conditions

Water and Flood Damage

When heavy rain or spring snowmelt raises the rivers that converge in Saginaw, groundwater climbs across the flat valley and pushes into basements and lower levels. The area’s clay soil drains slowly, so water lingers against foundations for days. Older storm sewers can back up during intense downpours, and sump pumps can fail when storms knock out power. We extract standing water, find hidden moisture, and dry, clean, and repair affected areas before mold can take hold.

Storm and Wind Damage

Severe thunderstorms crossing the Saginaw Valley can bring straight-line winds, hail, and tornado warnings with little warning. Mature trees in older neighborhoods can fall onto roofs, porches, and vehicles, and wide, flat roofs on industrial and commercial buildings take the brunt of high winds. Once a roof or window is breached, rain pours inside. We secure damaged openings with tarping and board-up, remove water, and repair storm-damaged structures.

Winter Damage

Ice storms can coat Saginaw’s trees and power lines, bringing down heavy limbs and knocking out power that keeps furnaces and sump pumps running. Subfreezing cold bursts pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and older homes with limited insulation, and heavy snow builds ice dams that leak into attics and ceilings. We remove the water and dry walls, insulation, and framing to prevent lasting damage.

Restoration Services for Everyday Emergencies

Fire and Smoke Damage

Aging electrical systems in older homes, space heaters and furnaces working through long winters, kitchen fires, and equipment fires in manufacturing facilities can all leave smoke and soot throughout a property. We secure the property, remove water used to fight the fire, clean soot, eliminate smoke odor, restore belongings, and rebuild damaged areas.

Mold and Odor Removal

High groundwater, damp basements, and humid summers give mold plenty of room to grow in Saginaw homes and buildings, especially after a flood or a slow leak. We locate the moisture source, contain and remove the growth, and eliminate musty, smoke, and pet odors at the source.

Sewage Cleanup

During heavy storms, Saginaw’s older sewer lines can reach capacity and push wastewater back up through basement floor drains. Tree roots can also crack and clog aging sewer laterals in established neighborhoods. We safely remove sewage and clean, disinfect, and dry the affected space.
