Inspection & Moisture Source
We find the water feeding the mold first — because remediation fails if the moisture source isn't fixed.

Millers gave us prompt, outstanding service when our daughter's basement flooded. They were kind, courteous, professional, efficient, knew their job well, and gave us a heads up on their arrival schedule each…
With the Detroit River on one side and the Ecorse River winding through, Ecorse basements stay damp long after the water recedes, and that lingering moisture is exactly what mold needs to grow. In the Downriver waterfront district and near the River Rouge border area, older homes with chronic seepage and high indoor humidity often develop mold in foundation walls, wood framing, and finished lower rooms that never quite dry out between floods.
The crew that responds, Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor, starts by tracing the moisture to its source — a leaking wall near Mud Island or a persistently damp basement off the West Jefferson Avenue corridor — because remediation simply doesn't hold if the water keeps coming back. They then contain the affected area, remove the mold-damaged materials, and dry the space fully before any rebuild.
Family-owned in Wayne County since 1974, Millers treats mold as a moisture-and-structure problem from start to finish: fix the source, restore the materials, and return the space so an Ecorse property owner isn't dealing with the same damp corner year after year.

Containment and negative air keep spores from spreading to clean areas during removal.
Affected materials are removed and the area remediated to standard, then cleared.
We rebuild the drywall, flooring, and finishes we had to remove.

With the Detroit River and Ecorse River bordering the city and so much surrounding water, humidity and groundwater stay high, and older basements struggle to stay dry. That persistent dampness is exactly what mold needs to grow on wood, drywall, and stored items. We remediate the growth and address the moisture keeping it alive.
We contain the work area first so spores do not spread, then remove contaminated materials and clean and treat what can be saved. After that, we dry the space thoroughly and target the ongoing moisture source common to waterfront properties. Correcting the dampness is what keeps the mold from returning.
The key is fast, complete drying, since mold can start developing on damp materials within a day or two of flooding. We use moisture meters to confirm framing and subfloors are genuinely dry, not just dry on the surface. Given how quickly Ecorse basements can re-wet, verifying dryness matters.
Surface cleaning often leaves the root problem in place, and scrubbing active mold can release spores into the rest of the home. In damp areas like the Mud Island district, the underlying moisture usually needs correcting too. We assess the full extent and contain the area properly before removing anything.
