Before the crew arrives in Saint Clair Shores
Saint Clair Shores has 90% of homes built before 1980, and most are owner-occupied, with 17% rented. That means older basements, original valves and aging floor drains. If a pipe has split, close the main valve on the basement wall firmly.
Turn off power to the basement before you step into water. Photograph the source, the water line on the walls and damaged items.
FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly inland flood loss at 107 per $100,000 of building value here, above Macomb County's 80. After heavy rain, note whether water came through the walls or up a drain. A drain backup needs sewage cleanup, while a pipe leak needs water removal. Take what you can upstairs. Someone answers 24/7.
