What River Rouge homeowners deal with
River Rouge sits 22 miles from Troy and is served with the Troy area. Its housing is older than Wayne County's as a whole: Census figures show 91% of homes were built before 1980 and 59% before 1950, against 81% and 35% for the county. Old basements, cast iron drains and clay sewer lines crack and back up, and pipes in exterior walls freeze during 125 nights a year at or below 32 degrees.
Renting is common, with 47% of homes rented, so many calls involve both a tenant and a landlord. Wayne County logged 29 days with flash flood or flood reports from 2016 to 2025. FEMA's National Risk Index puts the yearly inland flood loss at $72 per $100,000 of building value, above the state's 66, and only 0.5% of county homes carry flood insurance. Storm water that reaches a basement is Category 3, while a split supply line is clean water, so burst pipe cleanup can often dry materials that storm water would ruin.
The crew also does water removal in Melvindale when a call comes from there.

The first hour in River Rouge
River Rouge has very old housing, with 59% of homes built before 1950, by Census figures. Old basements and sewer lines mean a heavy rain can push sewage up through a floor drain. If that happens, stop using sinks, toilets and appliances, switch off the basement breakers and keep children and pets away.
For a pipe leak, close the main shutoff instead. Photograph the water and damaged belongings, then lift boxes and rugs off the floor. Sewage needs proper sewage cleanup with protective gear and disinfection, so do not mop it yourself. With 47% of homes rented, tenants should tell the landlord. Help with water removal in Ecorse comes from the same crew. Someone picks up the phone 24/7.
