What to do first in Redford
Redford homes are almost all older, 93% built before 1980, and many have basements. When water appears, close the main shutoff near the meter in the basement. With 139 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, a split pipe along an outside wall is a common winter cause, so keep the heat on after the water is off. Switch off breakers for the basement. Photograph the waterline, the walls and stored belongings. Move what you can upstairs so water removal can begin. If a floor drain backed up, keep children and pets away and say so when you call, because sewage cleanup rules apply. The line can be reached 24/7.
