Clinton Township is the most populated township in Michigan, with the Clinton River through its middle and a canal on its east side. Basements here take water from three directions: the river, a high water table in clay soil, and an aging sewer network. Mold is the usual result when that water is not dried fast. This page lists who can remove it, how Clinton Township assigns drain duty, and which dated events shaped the local risk.

How Prime Restoration reaches Clinton Township

Crews leave from the Macomb office and the Sterling Heights headquarters, and reach all three ZIP codes: 48035, 48036 and 48038. Hall Road (M-59), Groesbeck Highway, Gratiot Avenue and Metro Parkway give several routes in, so one closed road does not stop a truck. Typical on-site time is 25 minutes, day or night.

The first visit is an inspection, not a sales pitch. A technician reads the walls and floor with a moisture meter, scans suspect areas with a thermal camera, and looks for the source: a pipe, a window well, a bath fan duct, a roof valley or a wet crawl space. The written scope names the area, the materials to remove and the steps to dry and rebuild.

Prime then does the work with its own crew, so no outside tester has to book a visit first. The rebuild runs under the same builder license. See the Clinton Township mold remediation page, the Clinton Township water damage comparison, and the guide to mold remediation across Macomb County.

How This Comparison Was Compiled

Every row comes from a public page read on November 12, 2026: the company's own site, the franchise locator, Better Business Bureau, Thumbtack and map listings for small firms, and the Michigan LARA lookup for builder licenses. Each company was held to the same short list of questions about office, hours, mold services, repair scope and a stated arrival time. Where a source gave two addresses for one firm, the table says so. Prime is also a Certified Best Pick (Best Pick Reports, Detroit, 2027) with a 5.0 Google rating from 186 reviews. No company paid for placement.

The companies in order

• 1. Prime Restoration: a Macomb office 13 minutes from the township, a typical 25-minute arrival, its own crew on the mold work, and one team through the rebuild.
• 2. Pure Air Mold Removal Macomb: a mold-focused firm with a Clinton Township listing.
• 3. Select Restoration, Inc.: a Fraser restoration contractor.
• 4. RestoPros of Oakland & Macomb: a Troy company that lists Clinton Township.
• Also listed below: PuroClean Restoration Services, Restoration 1 of Lake St. Clair, Paul Davis Restoration of Oakland County and SERVPRO of West Clinton Township.
• Drain duty in the township is split among five parties. Knowing which one owns the wet ground near your house saves weeks.
• The Clinton River flood stage at the township gauge is 16.0 feet. The township's own alerts show it passing that mark in 2020 and 2025.

Who owns the drain that keeps the ground wet next to your Clinton Township house?

This is the fact that most homeowners in the township learn too late. Clinton Township's stormwater page divides storm drain responsibility among five parties:

• Clinton Township DPS handles township property: the Civic Center, police and fire stations and parks. The DPS phone is 586-286-9300.
• The Macomb County Department of Roads handles drains along public roads and ditches. Its number is 586-463-8671.
• The Macomb County Public Works Office handles major county drains, at 586-469-5325.
• MDOT handles state highways such as Gratiot and Hall Road, at 517-241-2400.
• Private owners handle private roads, rear yards, parking lots, subdivisions and homeowner association land.

If a roadside ditch stays full for days after a rain, the county road department or MDOT is the first call. If the water sits in a rear-yard swale in a subdivision, it is usually a private or HOA matter, and the HOA or a drainage contractor is the one to ask. If you cannot tell, call the township DPS, which will point you to the right office.

Why it matters for mold: a wet foundation wall is the first step toward a damp basement. Fixing the interior mold without fixing the exterior water means the mold comes back. Prime Restoration will tell you in the written scope if the source is outside the house, and what to ask the drain owner.

What happened in Clinton Township on August 11, 2014, December 24, 2016, January 11, 2020 and April 3, 2025?

August 11, 2014. The storm that put 5.2 inches of rain on Warren in one day hit the same part of Macomb County. Warren's mayor declared a state of emergency, and basement flooding spread through the south and central parts of the county. Mold calls from that storm arrived over the following two weeks, after wet drywall and paneling sat in sealed basements.

December 24, 2016. The Macomb Interceptor Drain, a large sewer that serves 11 communities including Clinton Township and Sterling Heights, collapsed on 15 Mile Road on the Fraser and Clinton Township border. The sinkhole was about the size of a football field, forced more than 20 families from their homes and condemned three houses. A stretch of 15 Mile stayed closed for nearly all of 2017. Later reports put the repair work in the tens of millions of dollars, and a settlement of $12.5 million went to the drainage district.

January 11, 2020. Clinton Township Public Safety passed along a National Weather Service flood warning for the Clinton River. Up to 2.5 inches of rain had fallen overnight with 1 to 2 more inches expected. The river stood at 13.1 feet at 10 a.m., against a flood stage of 16.0 feet, and the forecast crest was 19.0 feet that evening. Riverside basements took water in January, a month when frozen ground and cold air slow the drying.

April 3, 2025. Clinton Township Public Safety sent a flood warning for the North Branch of the Clinton River near Mount Clemens. The forecast moved from minor to moderate flooding, and the warning ran into the next night. Flood stage on the main Clinton River gauge at Clinton Township is 16.0 feet. A river that rises and falls inside a day still pushes water through low basement windows and under slab joints.

Taken together, these four events cover a storm, a sewer failure, a winter river flood and a spring river rise. Each put moisture into building materials. The common thread is time: mold follows water that sits.

Which Clinton Township neighborhoods see mold, and where in the house?

• Moravian Woods, Moravian Drive and the 48035 area near Groesbeck. Basements flood and sweat during spring thaw. Finished lower levels with paneling hide mold on the back of the wall.
• Rivergate Woods and the Clinton River banks. Closest to the river gauge, with the highest flood exposure in the township.
• Normandy Forest and Mt. Lebanon. Mid-century ranches and tri-levels with original bath fans and wall joints.
• Partridge Creek Village and the Mall at Partridge Creek area. Newer construction that changed natural drainage, so yards hold water against foundations.
• Clinton Village and the Gratiot Avenue corridor. Older commercial and residential mix, with leaks in shared walls and roofs of small buildings.
• Stonefield, Charter Oaks, Harrington Estates and Windwood Pointe. Subdivisions with builder-grade sump pumps that reach end of life together.
• North Clinton and the Hall Road corridor. Condominiums and retail where a roof leak turns into wall-cavity mold before anyone sees it.
• The Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal and George George Park. Low ground where water lingers after storms.
• Hillcrest, near Cass and Groesbeck. A street a local news report named after heavy rain flooded its basements.

The housing mix is wide. Many homes are 1960s to 1980s brick ranches and tri-levels on clay soil. The south end, nearer I-94, has older stock. Clay holds water against the foundation, and sump pump failure is the most common emergency call in the township.

Which rooms grow mold first, and why?

Mold shows up in five places more than any others.

1. Finished basement walls. The back side of paneling and the bottom 12 inches of drywall wick water from slab and block.
2. Behind bathroom walls. A shower valve or tub drain leak feeds the cavity for months.
3. Attic roof decking. Warm indoor air rises through gaps, meets cold sheathing and condenses. A bath fan that ends in the attic adds more.
4. Crawl spaces. Humid summer air condenses on cool ducts and wood. Dirt floors without a vapor barrier make it worse.
5. Under flooring after a slow leak. A dishwasher line or refrigerator ice-maker line drips under the floor where nobody looks.

If you smell something musty in any of these spaces, do not wait for visible spots. Growth often begins as a smell.

What should you do in the first 48 hours after a leak?

Mold can start on wet drywall, wood and carpet pad within 24 to 48 hours. The first two days are the cheapest part of any mold plan.

• Stop the water at its source and shut the main valve if you cannot find it.
• Remove standing water with a wet vacuum or pump.
• Pull wet carpet pad and set fans at floor level. Keep a dehumidifier running in the room.
• Take photos before and after, and save the date you first saw the water.
• Do not seal a wet room with plastic and leave it. Trapped moisture speeds mold.
• Call a restoration company that can measure moisture, not only wipe surfaces.

What does a Clinton Township mold remediation job involve?

A properly run job has six stages. The area is sealed with plastic sheeting, and a HEPA air scrubber holds the space under negative pressure. Affected porous materials come out in sealed bags. Framing and hard surfaces are HEPA vacuumed and cleaned. The cavity is dried to a moisture reading in the normal range. Then a visual check, and if wanted a lab test, confirms the job. Last, new materials go in. The ANSI/IICRC S520 standard sets out these practices, and the EPA's size bands, under 10 square feet, 10 to 100, and over 100, guide how much containment is needed.

A good estimate lists each of those stages as a line, plus the area in square feet. If a proposal says "mold treatment" with a lump sum and no scope, ask what is inside it.

What should a written mold estimate list for a Clinton Township home?

A clear estimate reads like a work order. Look for these lines, each with a quantity and a price:

• the moisture survey and the source repair or referral;
• containment: poly barriers, a zipper door and the number of negative air machines;
• demolition: square feet of drywall, linear feet of baseboard, square feet of carpet and pad, bags of insulation;
• cleaning: HEPA vacuuming of framing and an antimicrobial or sealing step where it is called for;
• drying: the count of air movers and dehumidifiers, and the days they run;
• verification: a visual check, and whether a clearance test is included or optional;
• the rebuild: drywall, insulation, trim and paint, priced by the room.

If two bids differ by a large amount, compare the lines before you compare the totals. A low bid that leaves out containment or drying will cost more when the mold comes back. Prime Restoration writes its estimate in this format, free of charge, after the moisture inspection.

Is a crawl space, a canal-side cottage or a finished walkout a different mold job?

Yes. Each has its own moisture path, and the plan changes with it.

Crawl spaces. Some older Clinton Township homes have crawl spaces under additions or whole ranches. Summer air is warm and wet, the ground is cool, and condensation forms on ducts and joists. Mold grows on the underside of the subfloor. The fix is to remove growth under containment, cover the soil with a vapor barrier, seal the vents or add a dehumidifier, and fix any plumbing drips. Crawl spaces are cramped, so crews work in suits and respirators for short shifts.

Cottages and low lots near the Clinton River and the Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal. The ground water follows the river. After a rise like January 11, 2020, a low slab stays damp for weeks. These homes need dry-down and, in many cases, an exterior drain or a better pump, or the mold returns.

Finished walkouts and tri-level lower floors. The wall on the uphill side meets wet clay. Paneling or drywall glued to the wall holds moisture against the block. The remediation opens those walls, cleans or replaces them, and leaves an air gap where possible.

How do you keep mold from coming back to a Clinton Township home?

1. Fix what the drain owner owns first. Use the five-party list above to find who should clear a ditch or culvert near you.
2. Grade the soil away from the house. The ground should fall about 6 inches over the first 10 feet.
3. Extend downspouts. Splash blocks are not enough on clay.
4. Service the sump pump and add a backup. It is the number one emergency call in the township.
5. Run bath and kitchen fans outdoors, and run them during and after showers and cooking.
6. Keep the dehumidifier on a drain. Aim for 30 to 60 percent humidity, the EPA's range.
7. Check under sinks and behind appliances every spring and fall.

A job that ends with a list of these items, tailored to your house, gives you something to act on. Prime Restoration includes one in its final report.

What should landlords, HOAs and property managers in the township know about mold?

Clinton Township has a large rental stock and many condominium and subdivision associations. Three points help. First, the township runs a residential rental inspection program, so a documented complaint may bring an inspector. Second, a mold report from a tenant starts a clock. Written notice, a prompt inspection and a written repair plan protect both sides. Third, in an HOA or condo, the line between association and owner decides who pays for a wall cavity or a roof leak, so read the governing documents before you order work.

Property managers often call during a heavy rain week, when several units report water at once. A restoration company that keeps a crew free for same-day inspection helps. Prime Restoration serves landlords, managers and associations across the township and gives a free inspection and a written scope for each unit.

How should you prepare your Clinton Township home for a mold crew?

A little preparation shortens the job. Clear a path from the driveway to the work area, and move small valuables, medicine and papers to a clean room. Tell the crew about pets, anyone with asthma, and any area with a known leak. Turn off the furnace fan if the crew asks, because the system can pull spores through the ducts. Plan where family members will stay for a few days if the work area includes a bedroom or the main living space.

Expect plastic sheeting, a loud air scrubber and a zipper door. The crew will wear coveralls and respirators, and will bag waste inside the containment before carrying it out. Do not enter the sealed area without the technician's say. Prime Restoration walks you through the plan on site before the first bag is filled.

Does mold affect health, and when should you see a doctor?

The CDC and EPA say mold can cause stuffy nose, wheezing, itchy eyes and skin irritation in some people. People with asthma, allergies, lung disease or weak immune systems can react more strongly. Reactions vary, and a test cannot say whether mold caused a given symptom. If someone in the home has breathing trouble that improves away from the house, or has a chronic condition, see a doctor and tell the doctor about the water problem. Do not wait for a test result before you dry the structure and remove the growth. That step helps in every case.

What should you look for in a mold remediation company in Clinton Township?

• A moisture reading. The company should measure, record and show you the numbers.
• The fix for the source. Ask what the plan is for the leak, drain or ventilation fault.
• Containment in writing. Negative air and sealed barriers belong in the scope.
• Whose crew? Ask if the people who show up are the company's own staff.
• License and certification. Check the builder license on LARA and ask for the IICRC certificate.
• A defined finish. Know how the company proves the job is done, and whether you can bring in an independent tester.
• Paperwork for your carrier. Dated photos, readings and a line-item estimate.

How does insurance treat mold in a Clinton Township home?

The cause decides coverage. Mold that follows a sudden covered loss, such as a burst pipe or a failed water heater, is often covered up to a stated limit. Mold from slow seepage, a long-running drip or poor ventilation is often capped or excluded. A river flood needs a flood policy, and a sewer backup needs its own endorsement. Your carrier decides coverage and limits. The restoration company cannot promise a payment.

If the backup came from a public sewer, a written claim to the agency that owns the sewer is due within 45 days of the day you discover the damage. Macomb County Public Works publishes that rule, and the township directs owners there. The notice protects your right to ask. It does not promise payment.

Who should you call first when you find mold in Clinton Township?

Call the restoration company first, then your insurer, then your landlord, property manager or association if one applies. The restoration company can measure the moisture and stop the spread that day. If the water came from a roadside ditch or a county drain, use the five-party list above for the second call. The Clinton Township DPS line is 586-286-9300 and the township main line is 586-286-8000.

Keep them in one folder, on paper or on your phone, so you can hand them over the same day an adjuster, a landlord or a drain office asks.
