For your home in Lakewood

Waterproofing planned? Ask about the dye test

Lakewood uses dye tests to check where exterior storm connections discharge. Its guidance covers underground drainage and waterproofing work. If that is part of your repair plan, have the contractor check testing and inspection requirements early, while we assess and dry the materials affected inside.

Before drainage work
Ask the contractor which dye-test steps apply to the proposed underground work and save the findings with the repair record.
Before covering the repair
Lakewood describes a verification test witnessed by a city representative; have the contractor confirm that step before covering new work.
For the affected room
A drainage test cannot tell you whether wall cavities or flooring are dry; ask us about those separate findings.
More local guidance

Lakewood's dye-test guidance explains how dye placed in exterior storm connections helps identify the sewer receiving that water. The city links this testing to certain underground storm-system work, including water-control projects. Have the repair professional confirm how that guidance applies to the proposed scope instead of assuming a newly installed drain reaches the intended system.

Inside the home, tell us which materials became wet and whether this was a first or repeat event. We assess cleaning, removal and drying needs, including concealed edges beneath flooring or behind wall finishes. A drainage-test result helps explain the source investigation; it does not establish that exposed indoor materials are ready for replacement finishes.

A hidden leak. A helpful first call.

In Shaker Heights, Sara Carnes noticed a wet spot behind a basement toilet. In her video, she explains the burst pipe, the documentation and the help communicating with her insurance adjuster.

Before you call

A few things you may be wondering.

Can I call for help in Lakewood at night?

Yes. A person answers 24/7. A First Responder is typically on site within 1 hour to establish the next course of action. The cleanup crew follows once the plan is set.

Do you help with the insurance claim?

We document the loss and work directly with your adjuster. Your insurer determines coverage. You can call us before you know the full extent of the damage.

Do you handle the repairs after cleanup?

Professional tradesmen handle repairs and rebuilding. We explain what the cleanup includes and facilitate communications and scheduling for the next phase.

Will a Lakewood dye test show whether my basement materials are dry?

No. It investigates drainage connections. Our assessment examines the affected indoor areas and drying progress. Both can be useful during recovery, but each should be documented for the question it actually answers.
