Middle East
Lincoln Park is a city of small, older homes: 92% were built before 1980, and half before 1954. We look after a lot of properties here and in the Downriver cities around it.
We look after a lot of properties in Lincoln Park, as we do in Taylor, Westland, Canton and Redford. In homes this age, a storm, a sewer backup or a frozen pipe usually finds the basement first.
Our office in Southfield is 15 miles from the middle of Lincoln Park: about 17.3 miles by road, or 28 minutes when traffic is light. Across Wayne County a crew is on site in about 60 minutes, day or night, and when you call we give you a real arrival time.
From Southfield, crews take the Southfield Freeway (M-39) south: it ends in Lincoln Park as Southfield Road. I-75 and Fort Street serve the city too.
A person answers 248-845-0000, day or night, and asks what happened and where.
Trucks leave with the pumps, extractors, air movers and dehumidifiers the job needs, 17.3 miles from our office.
The crew stops the water, makes the property safe and starts the drying the same visit.
