Before the crew arrives in Dearborn Heights
Dearborn Heights logged 17.4 flood insurance claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025 by FEMA's records, against 0.9 for Wayne County. If water is rising in the basement during a storm, stay out of it. If the breaker panel sits in that basement, do not walk through the water to reach it. Water coming up a floor drain is often sewage, which is Category 3.
If a pipe failed instead, close the main shutoff, usually near the meter. Photograph the water line, the drain and every damaged item before cleanup. Carry what you can upstairs. With 90% of homes built before 1980, old drain lines and water heaters are common sources too. Sewage cleanup follows once the water stops rising. Calls go through 24/7.
