Seepage, a Sump Failure, or a Backup

SourceWhat it looks like
Foundation seepageThe ground outside saturates, and water pushes through a wall or floor crack, usually near the base of the wall.
Sump system failureThe pump quits, often in a power outage, and the pit overflows. It's typically clean water at first.
Sewer backupWater rises up through a floor drain rather than a wall crack. Assume contamination and keep it off-limits.

What to Do Before We Arrive

  • Stay clear of standing water close to any outlet or cord.
  • Photograph the water line and, if visible, where it's coming from.
  • Clear what you can off the floor.
  • Call so a crew starts extraction that same visit.
Allen Park, specifically. The north and south branches of Ecorse Creek run through Allen Park, and because the creek is small, local references often just call the combined flow Ecorse Creek; a regional nonprofit is now working with Allen Park on flood-mitigation concept designs for stretches of that watershed. On May 1, 2019, 2 to 4 inches of rain fell across the I-94 corridor in about four hours, flooding roughly 5,000 basements and causing major damage to about 1,000 homes, with Dearborn Heights the hardest-hit area and Lincoln Park, which borders Allen Park, named directly in the NOAA record; this is a Wayne County-level entry, not an Allen Park-specific count.
