Mount Clemens, MI Water Damage Restoration Companies Ranked: Prime Restoration First of 500

Mount Clemens divides its sewer in two parts. The Utilities Department cleans and maintains the main line sanitary sewers, which run generally down the center of the street. The building owner keeps the service sewer clear between the building and that main. When a basement drain backs up, a utilities representative visits the site to decide whether the problem belongs to the city or to the user. The answer decides who handles the repair.

A claim against the city runs on a short clock. Under Public Act 222, a resident must file a written claim with the City of Mount Clemens within 45 days after the overflow or back-up was discovered. The city page says that failure to give the required notice prevents recovery of damages. Prime Restoration is open 24/7 and documents each job with photos, moisture logs and a written scope a carrier can review.

Sewer lateral repair also carries a licensing rule. Any contractor hired to replace a sanitary sewer lateral must be registered with Community Development in the City of Mount Clemens. Prime Restoration holds Michigan residential builder license #262500492. On ContractorsRanked, Prime Restoration scores 73, which is 7 points above Gold Star Restoration, LLC, the company at rank 2 with a score of 66.

Mount Clemens requires residential rental structures to be registered every year and to keep a certificate of compliance. The registration fee is $75 per unit, and the inspection cycle runs every 2 years. A landlord with a flooded rental unit therefore answers to the city program as well as to a carrier. Photos and a written scope from the first day help show what the unit looked like before repairs.

The city also tracks empty buildings. Any residential or commercial building that has been vacant for at least 30 days must be registered. A Certificate of Occupancy is required before re-occupancy. A flooded home that sits empty during a long repair can reach that 30 day mark, so an owner should check the vacant registration rule early and confirm the status with the Community Development office.

Permits and drainage rules sit beside those. Mount Clemens states that licensed contractors within the State of Michigan must pull permits for remodeling and additions. Most stormwater in the city runs through catch basins into the Clinton River. Prime Restoration is open 24/7, and its Macomb Office at 51058 Romeo Plank Rd, Macomb sits 13 minutes by road from Mount Clemens. A crew can be on site in 25 minutes.
