RMO serves Metro Detroit today. These pages describe where we plan to grow.
Middle East
Waterford is a township of lakes, and of homes built close to them. Like Pontiac next door, it has a dedicated RMO team, and commercial properties here can keep our crews on standby.
A dedicated RMO team serves Waterford and Pontiac.
Waterford has its own RMO team. We serve large buildings in the area together with our sister companies, and commercial properties can have our emergency crews on standby.
Lakefront and lake-area homes bring their own water problems: storm runoff and sump pumps that work hard in wet seasons. When a basement or a lake house takes on water, the team nearby gets there quickly.
Our office in Southfield is 16.5 miles from the middle of Waterford: about 19.7 miles by road, or 32 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 Telegraph Road north past Pontiac, where it becomes Dixie Highway into Waterford; M-59 crosses the township past the county airport.
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, 19.7 miles from our office.
The crew stops the water, makes the property safe and starts the drying the same visit.
