When something goes wrong at home - a pipe bursts, the furnace quits on a sub-zero night, the basement floods after a storm - you need two things fast: a clear head about what to do first, and a reliable local pro to call. This is your one-stop Home Services Resource Center. Below you’ll find a 24/7 directory of licensed, insured local providers, plus step-by-step guides written for Washtenaw County homeowners.
In a life-threatening emergency, always call 911 first. If you smell gas or a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house and call 911 from outside before doing anything else.
Burst pipes, leaks, frozen lines, and no hot water – fast help and how to limit the damage before the plumber arrives.
No heat in winter, no cool air in summer, or an aging system - troubleshooting and straight talk on repair vs. replace.
Flooded basements, failed sump pumps, and storm water – act fast to limit damage and prevent mold.
Recovering after a fire – from the first steps and insurance to professional soot and smoke cleanup.
Planning a remodel? Real costs for walk-in showers, and safe, stylish aging-in-place upgrades.
