Why RMO is first in Southfield

Southfield is where we live and work. When two major floods hit two office buildings on Nine Mile Road, the Epicenter at 18000 W. Nine Mile and Nine Mile Crossing at 17515 W. Nine Mile, the second about two hours after the first, water had run through seven floors of one of them. We had a team of 15 people there within 20 minutes and worked both buildings at once: water out, wet materials checked floor by floor, and drying set up before the damage could spread. Both buildings were saved. We also handle homes and rentals around our office every week: flooded basements after a storm, burst supply lines, water heaters that let go.

• 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 Southfield

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 Southfield fast

Our office is in Southfield, in the Epicenter building on Nine Mile Road. Crews reach any address in the city in minutes by Northwestern Highway, Telegraph Road, the Lodge or the Southfield Freeway. The city says its east end is on a combined sewer system, where rain and sewage share the same pipes, and residents of east-end streets reported flooded basements after a June 2024 storm. In August 2014, a storm spotter reported 6.25 inches of rain in 12 hours in Southfield. And with more than 27 million square feet of office space, a burst pipe in a tower can run down through several floors of tenants.
