When Gary Awad received his first call at 7:15 a.m. Sunday, he knew the previous night’s rain might have impacted the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. When he took the second call 30 minutes later, he knew his weekend was over.

The owner of Maize and Blue Carpet and Furniture Cleaning in Ypsilanti, Awad called in two employees Sunday and got to work cleaning up and drying wet basement carpeting.

By the end of Monday, he had fielded 15 service calls and serviced more than a dozen homes. And the calls were still coming in. From AnnArbor.com.
