Why water damage in Port Huron homes gets worse by the hour
Much of the water damage we see in Port Huron starts in the basement. Most homes here have one, and the water gets in from a frozen supply line in an exterior wall, a sump pump that lost power in a storm off Lake Huron, a water heater that let go, or a washing machine hose that split. Downtown and in the Northend, aging galvanized plumbing fails without warning.
Water does not stay where it landed. It wicks up drywall, soaks carpet pad, runs under laminate and settles into the subfloor and the sill plate. Our winters make it worse: a closed-up house holds moisture in, and a slow leak behind a wall can sit for weeks before you smell it.
That is why we treat every call as an emergency. Our shop is on Minnie St, so our trucks are already in Port Huron, and we reach Fort Gratiot, Marysville, St. Clair Township and Marine City from the same building. One crew handles it from the first call to the last coat of paint, and we bill your insurer directly.
Our water damage restoration process in Port Huron
Call and dispatch
You tell us where the water is, whether it is still running, and whether the power is on. We dispatch a crew from Port Huron and tell you what to do until we pull up.
Stop the source and map the moisture
We shut off the source, then read the walls and floors with moisture meters and a thermal camera to see how far the water traveled — behind the baseboard, inside the wall cavity.
Extract the standing water
Truck-mounted and portable extractors pull water out of carpet, pad and hard floors. In a finished basement we lift the flooring and open the bottom of the drywall so the framing and the sill plate can dry.
Dry and dehumidify
We set air movers and commercial dehumidifiers and check the readings until the structure is dry — not until the floor looks dry. Michigan basements stay cool and damp even in summer, so we size the equipment for your space.
Clean, sanitize and rebuild
Once dry, we clean and treat the affected surfaces, then put the room back together: drywall, trim, flooring, paint. Packed-out contents come home, and you sign off on the finished work.

Water damage jobs we handle in Port Huron
Burst and frozen pipes
Supply lines in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces freeze in a Port Huron cold snap and split when they thaw. We extract, dry the cavity and repair the damage.
Sump pump failures
A pump that lost power, a stuck float or a discharge line frozen solid outside sends groundwater across the basement floor. We pump out, dry and document the cause.
Appliance and water heater leaks
Washing machine hoses, dishwasher lines, ice maker feeds and a tank that rusted through — call us at the first sign of a slow leak.
Ice dams and roof leaks
Lake-effect snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, backing water under the shingles into the attic, ceilings and walls. We dry the structure and repair the finished surfaces.
Foundation seepage and window wells
Spring snowmelt and heavy rain push water through block walls and around basement windows. We dry the space and treat it so the musty smell does not follow.
Overflows and plumbing failures
Toilets, tubs and drains that back up or overflow, and the failed fittings behind them. We dry the floor and the ceiling below it, with proper protection if the water is contaminated.
Before We Arrive
Steps to Take
- 1. Shut off the water at the main or the fixture valve if you can reach it safely
- 2. Kill the power to the wet area at the breaker before you step in
- 3. Call Doan Restoration at (586) 842-8142 — we answer 24/7
- 4. Move furniture and rugs off the wet floor
- 5. Take photos of the water, the source and anything damaged before you move it
- 6. Open a claim with your insurance company — we handle it from there with your adjuster
Avoid This
- 1. Do not use a shop vac or a household vacuum in standing water
- 2. Do not wait to see if the carpet dries on its own — the pad underneath never does
- 3. Do not pull up wet hardwood yourself; it can often be saved
- 4. Do not throw out damaged items before the adjuster sees them or we photograph them
Water Damage Restoration FAQ
How fast can you get to my house in Port Huron?
Most Port Huron calls are a short drive from our shop on Minnie St, and Fort Gratiot, Marysville, St. Clair Township and Marine City are not much farther. We dispatch day or night.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the water damage?
Sudden, accidental damage — a burst pipe, a failed water heater, an overflow — is usually covered. Long-term seepage and groundwater usually are not. We inspect, tell you what we see, and bill your carrier directly when the loss is covered.
Can you save hardwood floors and finished basements?
Often, if we get there while the water is fresh. Hardwood can be dried in place, and a finished basement can keep its framing and most of its drywall if the bottom is opened up early.

What Michigan Customers Say
"New Year's Eve, right after we came back from vacation, I noticed the pipe burst in my basement, and most of the finished areas were soaked. Eric and Mike came and helped us. They worked from 8:15 PM to 10:45 PM, cleaned up everything and set up dehumidifiers and blowers. All the details and meter readings were recorded for the insurance claim."
"We had a basement flood and got directed to Doan through insurance. They helped coordinate a plumber to fix the sump pump and then came out to clean up the rest of the water. They were very transparent about what needed to be done, walking us through the process."
"We had a water leak and they responded with mitigation so quickly and efficiently! Their prompt response saved us from lots of time and money spent on repairs. Their crew was polite and prompt. Highly recommend!"
"We had a flood at our house during the night and Doan Restoration came out right away. We are so happy they were here. They took over from the second they walked in the door."
