RMO serves Metro Detroit today. These pages describe where we plan to grow.
Middle East
Rochester Hills is at the north edge of our core area, so we keep an extra team stationed up here. Homes and businesses get the same promise as the rest of Oakland County: a crew in about 60 minutes.
An extra RMO team is stationed in the Rochester Hills area.
Rochester Hills is about 35 minutes from our Southfield office in light traffic, so we keep an extra team in the area for homes and businesses here and in the communities around it.
That team takes the first hours of a job, stopping the water, extracting it and setting up drying, with the rest of the company behind it for the cleanup and the rebuild.
Our office in Southfield is 14.4 miles from the middle of Rochester Hills: about 18.6 miles by road, or 35 minutes when traffic is light. Across Oakland 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 east and I-75 north to M-59, which serves the city at Adams, Crooks and Rochester roads.
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, 18.6 miles from our office.
The crew stops the water, makes the property safe and starts the drying the same visit.
