> How bad is my water damage? A free severity quiz for Lansing-area homeowners and renters.

This is an interactive tool (JavaScript required) best used in a browser — 9 plain-language
questions about the water source/category, how long water has been standing, whether it's
reached flooring or walls, visible mold, nearby electrical hazards, affected area, and
whether a vulnerable person is in the home. The result is an urgency classification (urgent
call-now, schedule an assessment soon, or lower-urgency-but-still-worth-a-look) with what to
do next.

Any active leak, standing water past 24-48 hours, visible mold, or suspected sewage backup
is flagged urgent regardless of the rest of the score — mold can begin colonizing
water-damaged material within 24-48 hours. Call for a live, honest
assessment rather than wait for a quiz result if that's your situation right now.
