Price

What drives the cost of flood damage cleanup in Ferndale

  • Whether the water carried sewage or came from surface runoff
  • Size of the flooded area and the water line height on walls
  • Amount of finished material and stored contents
  • Number of days the water sat before cleanup began
  • Disposal volume and haul-away
  • Whether sump, backwater valve or drain work is added
  • The age of the home: the typical Ferndale home was built around 1945, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Ferndale

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Ferndale was built around 1945. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

76% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Ferndale building department before work starts.

Flood Damage Cleanup in Ferndale: FAQ

The main drivers are water category, flooded square footage, how high the water rose on the walls, how much finished material and contents must go, and drying time.
Coverage varies. Many policies exclude flood and treat sewer or drain backup as an optional endorsement, so check your policy language and talk to your agent.
If you believe the public sewer caused the backup, Michigan law requires written notice to the sewer agency within 45 days of discovering the damage. In Detroit that agency is DWSD.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Ferndale building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
