24/7 Disaster Restoration for Homes & Businesses

Property damage rarely happens on a convenient schedule. Pipes can burst in the middle of the night, storms may move through on weekends, and equipment failures can occur just as your business opens for the day. That is why we are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to respond to emergencies across the county. When you contact us, our goal is to move quickly so we can help limit additional damage and start your recovery as soon as possible.

During your initial call, we gather key details about what happened, the type of property involved, and any immediate safety concerns. From there, we dispatch a team equipped to handle your specific situation, whether that is widespread water damage, heavy smoke and soot, or contamination from sewage. Quick action can make a difference in how much material can be dried or cleaned, how far smoke odors spread, and whether moisture has time to support mold growth.

We respond to both homes and commercial properties, including retail locations, offices, schools, and light industrial spaces. For business owners, we know that downtime can affect staff, customers, and revenue. We work with you to prioritize critical areas so you can get back to operations as safely and quickly as conditions allow. Throughout the emergency phase, you can expect our team to explain what we are doing on-site and what we see as the next steps toward stabilization.

Why Property Owners Trust Our Team in This Area

When your property is damaged, you are placing significant trust in whoever you invite inside. Many property owners in this area choose ServiceMaster Restoration by FUSON because we combine a strong local presence with the backing of a national brand that has spent more than six decades refining restoration methods. That long history means we bring established processes, training, and resources to every project, while still delivering the personal attention of a local team.

Our technicians receive comprehensive training and follow industry-recognized standards for responding to water, fire, mold, and contamination. We invest in education and equipment so we can apply appropriate techniques to different building materials, contents, and mechanical systems. This focus helps us address not only the visible damage but also harder-to-see issues such as trapped moisture or smoke residues in hidden areas.

Just as important, we know that restoration is not only about the building. It is about your peace of mind. We approach each project with respect for your home or business, your schedule, and your concerns. You can expect clear explanations, regular updates, and honest discussions about what we recommend. From the first visit through final walkthroughs, our goal is to make a difficult time more manageable through steady communication and dependable follow-up.

Comprehensive Restoration Services for Fire, Water, Mold & More

Every disaster looks a little different, and many properties experience more than one type of damage at the same time. A fire may lead to water damage from firefighting efforts. Storms can cause roof leaks that result in mold weeks later. Our team is prepared to handle multiple types of damage so you can work with one provider instead of coordinating several different companies.

Water & Flood Damage Mitigation

For water and flood damage, we assess the source and category of water, then focus on removing standing water, setting up drying equipment, and monitoring moisture levels. Whether the issue started with a burst pipe, an appliance failure, or heavy rain that entered through a foundation or roof, we use targeted drying and cleaning methods to address affected surfaces and contents whenever feasible.

Fire & Smoke Damage Cleanup

Fire and smoke damage often extend far beyond the room where flames were visible. Smoke particles travel through HVAC systems, wall cavities, and belongings, leaving behind residue and odor. We work to clean structural materials, contents, and surfaces using appropriate cleaning agents and tools. Odor control may include specialized equipment that treats both the air and surfaces, which helps reduce the lingering smell of smoke over time.

Mold, Sewage & Biohazard Situations

Mold remediation requires careful handling to help protect your health and prevent spores from spreading to unaffected areas. Our team identifies affected areas, sets up containment where appropriate, and follows methodical cleaning and removal procedures. We also look for underlying moisture issues that contributed to growth so they can be addressed as part of the broader project.

Some situations involve more hazardous materials, such as sewage backups, trauma scenes, or other biohazard conditions. We provide sewage cleanup and biohazard cleaning services that include careful containment, removal of affected materials when needed, and thorough disinfection in line with health and safety guidelines. Persistent odors from pets, smoke, or other sources can also be treated with odor removal techniques that are selected based on the type and source of the smell. Throughout all these services, we work to coordinate each phase so your restoration feels organized and efficient.

Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process

When you are already stressed, not knowing what comes next can make things feel worse. We follow a structured process that helps you understand how we move from the first call to project completion. While each property and situation is unique, most projects include several common stages that we explain clearly so you know what to expect.

Assessment & Planning

It begins with your initial call and our emergency response. Once on-site, our team conducts a detailed inspection to understand the type and extent of damage, safety risks, and the best approach to stabilization. We then discuss our findings with you, outline recommended actions, and answer questions about priorities and timing. This collaborative conversation helps align our work with your needs and any constraints you are facing.

Mitigation, Cleanup & Repairs

Next, we focus on mitigation, which may include extracting water, boarding up openings, installing temporary shoring, or setting up containment and ventilation. After the situation is stabilized, we move into cleanup, drying, and remediation work, followed by necessary repairs or replacement of materials. Throughout each phase, we document conditions with notes and photos and can share this information with your insurance representative when requested.

Communication & Quality Assurance

Communication does not stop once equipment is running or repairs begin. We provide updates on progress, explain any changes we observe, and discuss adjustments that may be needed as more areas become accessible. At the end of the project, we walk through the completed work with you, address any remaining questions, and review what has been done. Our quality assurance approach includes follow-up so we can confirm that the work meets our standards and you feel supported even after crews have left your property.

Serving Tuscola County Communities with Local Insight

Living and working locally gives us insight into the types of properties and damage patterns that are common here. Tuscola County includes farmsteads, older homes in small towns, newer subdivisions, and commercial buildings along main corridors. Each of these property types can react differently to water, fire, and storm events, and we take those differences into account when planning our work.

Our team is familiar with regional weather conditions that affect restoration. Heavy spring and summer rains can overwhelm drainage systems and contribute to flooded basements. Winter temperatures increase the risk of frozen or burst pipes in homes, barns, and businesses. Strong winds can damage roofs and siding, allowing water to enter and cause interior damage that may not be immediately visible. By understanding these local patterns, we can better anticipate where hidden issues might be and how to address them.

Because we are close by, we can typically reach properties more quickly than an out-of-area provider, especially on rural roads or during widespread weather events. That local presence can make a difference in how long water sits before drying begins or how quickly structural openings are secured. We also understand the general expectations of local inspectors and authorities, and we work to perform our tasks in a way that supports any required code compliance or inspections that may follow.

What To Do Right After You Discover Damage

The moments after you discover serious damage can feel overwhelming. Taking a few focused steps can help protect your safety and make the restoration process smoother. Your first priority is always personal safety. If you suspect structural damage, strong gas odors, or electrical hazards, leave the property and contact emergency services before doing anything else.

If it is safe to stay inside, avoid walking through standing water that may be near electrical outlets or appliances, and keep children and pets away from affected areas. For water damage, you can shut off the main water supply if you can do so safely. For sewage backups or suspected biohazard situations, it is best not to disturb the affected area, since contact with contaminated materials can pose health risks.

Simple documentation can be helpful later. If conditions allow, you can take photos or short videos of visible damage from a safe location. Try not to move soot-covered items, scrub walls, or attempt deep cleaning before we arrive, since certain cleaning efforts can cause stains to set or spread residues. When you call ServiceMaster Restoration by FUSON, we can talk you through any other simple steps that make sense for your specific situation while our team is on the way.

Reaching out early gives us a better chance to limit additional damage and plan an efficient response. We know that you may be worried about costs or insurance approval. During our first conversations and visit, we can help you understand typical next steps, what we see on-site, and how our work often fits into the claims process, so you are not navigating it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can your team get to my property after I call?

We respond to emergency calls at any time of day or night and work to arrive as quickly as conditions allow. Actual arrival times depend on factors such as your location within the county, weather and road conditions, and how many emergencies are occurring at the same time. During your call, we will provide an estimated timeframe based on current conditions and keep you updated if anything changes. Our goal is to reach you promptly so we can begin stabilizing your property and help prevent further damage.

Can you work with my insurance company during the restoration process?

We regularly work on projects that involve property insurance and can provide detailed documentation that many insurers request. This may include written assessments, photographs, moisture readings, and invoices that outline the restoration activities performed. While coverage decisions are made by your insurance company, we can communicate with your adjuster, share our findings, and answer technical questions about the work being done. This approach can help you feel more supported as you move through the claims process.

Will I need to move out while you restore my home?

Whether you need to leave your home during restoration depends on the type and extent of damage along with safety and health considerations. For example, a small, contained water leak in one room might allow you to stay in other parts of the house, while a large fire or significant mold problem may make temporary relocation the safer choice. We will discuss these factors with you during our assessment and explain any risks associated with staying in the property. When it is possible to remain at home, we work to limit disruption by isolating work areas and coordinating our schedule with your daily routines as much as we reasonably can.

How do you handle my furniture and personal belongings?

We treat your belongings with care and understand that many items carry personal or financial value. During our assessment, we identify contents that can potentially be cleaned and restored, as well as items that may be too damaged or unsafe to save. For cleanable items, we may perform on-site cleaning or, when needed, arrange for items to be packed out, cleaned, and stored while structural work is completed. Throughout this process, we communicate with you about what we are doing and why, and we document items that are removed so there is a clear record for you and your insurer.

What types of damage can your team clean up safely?

Our team is trained to respond to a wide range of damage scenarios, including water and flood damage, fire and smoke, visible mold growth, sewage backups, and many biohazard conditions. Water-related situations can include anything from a washing machine overflow to a broken supply line or roof leak. Sewage events and other contamination require extra precautions and specialized cleaning methods, which we follow to help protect health and safety. If we encounter conditions that require additional specialists, such as structural engineers or certain environmental professionals, we will explain that clearly and coordinate our work with theirs as appropriate.

How long will the restoration process take?

The length of a restoration project varies based on the type of damage, how large an area is affected, and whether structural repairs are needed. As a general pattern, water mitigation and drying can take several days to more than a week, depending on how saturated materials are and environmental conditions. Fire and smoke cleanup, along with repairs and painting, often take longer, especially if multiple rooms or entire levels of a building are involved. During our assessment, we provide an initial estimate of how long key phases may take and update you if timelines change as we uncover hidden damage or adjust the scope of work. We know that timing affects your family or business, and we communicate regularly about progress so you can plan accordingly.
