What drives the cost of water damage restoration in Royal Oak

  • Clean water, gray water or sewage
  • Area affected and how long it stayed wet
  • Materials: drywall, plaster, hardwood, carpet or cabinets
  • Mold found during demolition
  • Source repairs such as sump, plumbing or roof

Before you hire in Royal Oak

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Royal Oak was built around 1956. 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

61% 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 Royal Oak building department before work starts.
