Restoration in New Baltimore
New Baltimore's Building, Codes and Zoning department says permits can take up to ten city business days to review, which is the figure to put in a rebuild schedule. The office is at 36535 Green Street, 586-725-2151, extension 105, with mechanical and plumbing inspections at extension 162, and it takes plumbing permit applications. Emergency work that cannot wait is a call to the department, not a reason to skip the permit.
The city runs its own water treatment plant, and the 2025 report says the water comes from Lake St. Clair and rates the source susceptibility high. The same report contains a template sentence about wells that conflicts with that, which we report without resolving. New Baltimore has 12,060 residents, only 35.1 percent of homes predate 1980, and the median home is worth $309,800. FEMA named Macomb County in DR-4607 and again in DR-4757, for storms two years apart.
A backup line, and any account of past floods, did not appear in the pages. Mount Clemens is 9.5 miles away, and the next nearest places are Fraser and St. Clair Shores.
What restoration costs near New Baltimore
We have collected no quotes for New Baltimore, so there is no price for the city itself. The statewide estimates are the first rows of the cost table on each service page, and the Michigan page shows them beside what the nearest federal occupation is paid (the Michigan median in BLS data for May 2025 is $22.30 an hour, which is pay, not price). How we estimate costs.
Permits for restoration work in New Baltimore

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.
