Restoration in Woodhaven
Woodhaven has a small paperwork rule that catches mailed applications: its 2024 plumbing permit application says a self-addressed stamped envelope is required if the permit is returned by mail. The Building Department is at 21869 West Road, (734) 675-4930, with Building Official Jonathan Tackett, and the department lists plumbing systems among work needing a permit. After a flood, the quickest route is the counter or a phone call. The city buys water from the Great Lakes Water Authority and operates the mains to the service line, and its 2025 report says the source water comes from the Detroit River.
A rebuild after a fire may need more than one permit, so ask a company which ones its scope includes before it begins. Woodhaven has 12,761 residents, 55.3 percent of homes predate 1980, and the median home is worth $221,200. DR-4607 and DR-4757 each designated Wayne County, covering 2021 and 2023. Both a backup contact and a flood record are absent from our sources. On the map nearby: Trenton, Flat Rock and Riverview.
