Cousino Restoration | Damage Restoration & Mold Remediation in Ann Arbor, MI

The most common signs include a musty odor coming from under the house, visible standing water or puddles near the HVAC unit, and increased humidity in your main living areas. Over time, you might notice wood rot on floor joists or a sudden spike in your energy bills. If you live near the Huron River or in areas like the Old West Side, these signs are especially important to catch early to prevent mold growth.

First, we locate and stop the source of the leak—whether it's a washing machine, water heater, or refrigerator line. Then, we extract all standing water and use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the space thoroughly. If mold is present, we perform remediation using EPA-approved methods. Finally, we repair any damaged insulation or vapor barriers and can install a French drain or sump pump if needed to prevent future issues.

Absolutely. In Ann Arbor, 'coastal flood damage' refers to flooding from the Huron River and its tributaries, especially during heavy rain or snowmelt. This often affects basements and crawl spaces in neighborhoods like Water Hill or near Gallup Park. Our team responds quickly to pump out water, dry the structure, and sanitize affected areas to prevent mold and structural damage. We also help with insurance claims and documentation.
