Why RMO is first in Dearborn

Size and speed. In a recent flood, two buildings in Dearborn took on water, the second about seven hours after the first. Three other mitigation companies were working the same flood. We were the first to arrive, and with the size of our team we could send 30 people and work both buildings at once. Both were saved. We also service a lot of houses in Dearborn, as in Dearborn Heights and Livonia: basements that back up in a storm, pipes that burst in a cold snap, water from a failed appliance.

• Locally owned, not a franchise

  RMO belongs to the people who run it, here in Metro Detroit. There is no franchise office between you and the owners.

• The owners on your job

  Vadym, George and Jackson come out to jobs, work with clients directly and answer for the quality themselves.

• A person answers, 24/7

  Call 248-845-0000 at 3 a.m. and someone who can send a crew picks up. Not a recording, not a message service.

• A crew in about 60 minutes

  Across Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties. When two office buildings flooded in Southfield, we had 15 people there in 20 minutes.

• An IICRC-certified team

  Trained to the industry's standards: ANSI/IICRC S500 for water damage and S520 for mold.

• One company for everything

  Water, sewage, fire, smoke, mold, storm and biohazard work, and the contents, by our own crews; asbestos and lead by licensed abatement partners we've worked with for years.

• The rebuild, too

  Framing, drywall, flooring and finishes by our own crews, so the job ends with the company that started it.

• Crews for any size of job

  When two Dearborn buildings flooded seven hours apart, we sent 30 people, worked both at once and saved both.

• Commercial-grade equipment

  Truck-mounted and portable extractors, LGR and desiccant dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, moisture meters and thermal imaging.

• Dry by the numbers

  Moisture readings every day and a drying log, until every wet material measures the same as a dry one.

• Insurance, handled

  We work with any carrier you use and document everything an adjuster needs. Many of our clients have paid nothing beyond their deductible.

• Cleaning in the same call

  Our sister company, RCO Cleaning, works from the same office, so the cleaning before and after is one more call to the same people.

Locally owned, not a franchise

Many of the restoration names around Metro Detroit are franchises: a national brand on a locally owned office. RMO isn't one. It belongs to the people who run it, from our office at 18000 W. Nine Mile Road in Southfield, so there is no franchise layer between you and the owners. Vadym, George and Jackson come out to jobs, meet the people whose homes and buildings we're working in, and answer for the quality themselves.

What we handle in Dearborn

And everything around it: board-up and tarping, contents packed out and cleaned, odor removal, mold work, asbestos and lead abatement through our licensed partners, biohazard cleanup, HVAC and duct cleaning, electronics and equipment cleaning, and the rebuild. If it happened to a building, we handle it.

Getting to Dearborn fast

From Southfield, crews take the Southfield Freeway straight into Dearborn, or Telegraph Road; Ford Road and I-94 cross the city. Dearborn sits where the Upper, Middle and Lower branches of the Rouge River come together, the last community downstream in the watershed; in August 2023 the Lower Rouge at Dearborn crested at 13.13 feet, above major flood stage. The city reports spending more than $25 million on flood work, and in July 2026 FEMA approved $8.1 million for new storm sewers and flap gates in east Dearborn. More than four in five Dearborn homes were built before 1980.

We document the damage from the first hour with photos, moisture readings and drying logs, and we work with your adjuster on the scope, so the claim can be settled on the facts and cover the whole job. Many of our clients have paid nothing beyond their deductible.
