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…
Awesome job on my house gentleman! Always will recommend these folk!
Curtis and the team at Millers were great. They responded to my emergency call immediately, and were on site cleaning up the water within hours and restoring a safe living environment. I recommend...
Water and River Rouge go hand in hand, and where the moisture settles, mold tends to follow. In the waterfront neighborhoods and along the Jefferson Avenue corridor, high water tables and repeated river intrusion keep older basements damp, and that persistent moisture in aging industrial-era homes creates the exact conditions mold needs to take hold in block walls, wood framing, and finished lower levels that never fully dry between wet seasons.
The first move by Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor, the crew that responds, is finding and stopping the moisture source — whether it's seepage near the Zug Island industrial district or a chronic damp spot in a home close to Belanger Park. From there they contain the affected area to keep spores from spreading, remove mold-damaged materials, and dry the space thoroughly before any rebuild begins.
A family-owned Wayne County company since 1974, Millers keeps the focus squarely on the property itself: correcting the underlying water problem, restoring the affected structure, and putting the space back in order so a River Rouge homeowner isn't quietly fighting the same damp, musty basement season after season.

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.
Millers responds to mold throughout River Rouge and Wayne County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
River Rouge's proximity to the River Rouge and Detroit River keeps groundwater and humidity high, and older basements with poor drainage stay damp long after visible water is gone. Mold grows wherever that moisture lingers in wood, drywall, and stored belongings. Lasting remediation means correcting the moisture source, not just cleaning the surface growth.
We start by identifying the moisture source and containing the affected area so spores do not spread during the work. Then we remove contaminated materials, clean and treat salvageable surfaces, and dry the space thoroughly. For waterfront homes, we also address the ongoing dampness that let the mold take hold in the first place.
River Rouge has a fair amount of vacant, unheated housing where mold spreads unchecked because no one is managing the moisture. Avoid disturbing the growth, since that releases spores, and keep the area closed off. Call us to assess the extent and put together a remediation plan before you begin any repairs or resale prep.
If water sits long enough, mold can begin developing on damp materials within a day or two, so thorough drying after any flooding is critical. We use moisture meters to confirm that walls, framing, and subfloors are fully dry, not just dry to the touch. Catching hidden dampness early is the best way to prevent a mold problem from starting.
