Restoration in Hamtramck
Hamtramck's Building Department is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and on Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is at 3401 Evaline St., Mezzanine, on (313) 800-5233, extension 814, and a fillable plumbing permit application is posted on the department's page. We have the page only secondhand, and it does not say in so many words that the city issues plumbing permits, so confirm that before you rely on it.
The Great Lakes Water Authority supplies the city's water, and Hamtramck operates the mains that carry it to each service line. That is the line between a city repair and yours after a supply break. Hamtramck has 27,830 residents, 92.2 percent of homes date from before 1980, and the median home is worth $116,400. The city is 2.5 miles from Detroit, which surrounds it, and both are in the same two federal declarations: Wayne County appears in both DR-4607 and DR-4757, the June 2021 and August 2023 storms.
Neither a backup number nor a flood record appears in the sources we checked. The closest places we cover are Detroit, Hazel Park and Ferndale.
What restoration costs near Hamtramck
