Restoration in Clawson
Clawson buys water from the Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority at three locations, which supplies Great Lakes Water Authority water from the Detroit River and lower Lake Huron, per its 2025 report. The report prints two numbers: the Department of Public Works at (248) 288-3222 and the authority's offices at (248) 288-5150. For a water main problem, those are the two to know, and the city's own page is the place to confirm which handles what.
The Building and Planning department's page lives on the city's website, with the city's main number, (248) 435-4500, printed. The state's list shows plumbing as local, and no sewer backup number or flood history appears in the city pages we can cite. Clawson has 11,314 residents, 84.2 percent of homes predate 1980 and the median home is worth $250,800. Oakland County was on the list for DR-4607 and for DR-4757, for two storms, two years apart. Check Royal Oak, Madison Heights or Berkley if your address is near the line.

How we estimate costs.
Permits for restoration work in Clawson

Repairs that touch structure or the electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems usually need a permit from your city or township building department, so ask the company who pulls it.
