RMO serves Metro Detroit today. These pages describe where we plan to grow.
Middle East
Livonia is mid-century subdivisions and busy commercial and industrial corridors, and we work in both: a lot of houses, and a lot of commercial properties.
We serve a lot of homes in Livonia, as we do in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, and a lot of commercial properties here too.
With fewer flood-aid registrations than its neighbors, Livonia's water damage is as likely to come from inside a building as from a storm: a burst pipe, a failed water heater or supply line, a leak in a commercial roof or sprinkler line.
Our office in Southfield is 9.1 miles from the middle of Livonia: about 15.1 miles by road, or 22 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 I-696 west to the I-96 and I-275 interchange, or come in on Grand River and the mile roads; I-96 also runs east from Livonia into Redford and Detroit.
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, 15.1 miles from our office.
The crew stops the water, makes the property safe and starts the drying the same visit.

More than 40 miles of the Rouge River system flow through Livonia, which makes up over 12% of the Rouge watershed. When the river passes 18 feet at its Detroit gauge, flooding begins in residential areas of Livonia and Redford.
