Restoration contractors in Ferndale, MI

Restoration in Ferndale

Ferndale buys water from the Great Lakes Water Authority, whose source water the 2025 report places in the Detroit River within the Lake St. Clair, Clinton River, Detroit River, Rouge River and Ecorse River watersheds, and the city operates the mains to each service line. A city that runs its own mains answers a main break; the pipe from the main to your house is yours. The permits page lists a Plumbing Permit Application, and the city's homepage prints a permits number, 248-546-2525.

The state's list shows plumbing as local. A burst line inside the house is a repair for you and a plumber, not a city job, so photograph the damage before anything is moved and call your insurer. Ferndale has 19,156 residents, 90.7 percent of homes predate 1980, and the median home is worth $233,600. Oakland County was named in both DR-4607 for the June 2021 storms and DR-4757 for August 2023. The pages give no backup number and no flood record. Hazel Park, Oak Park and Royal Oak are within 3.5 miles.
