Taylor and the North Branch

Taylor has a designated floodplain and floodway along the North Branch of Ecorse Creek. A federal flood-risk report notes the 100-year floodplain is most extensive in Dearborn Heights and in Taylor north of I-94. Homes near the creek can see overland water. Everywhere else, the usual cause is the sewer backing up through the floor drain.

A short checklist for Taylor homeowners

Know where your main water shutoff is before you need it.
Keep the floor drain clear of boxes so you can see a backup start.
Test the sump pump in March, before spring storms.
Ask your agent if you carry sewer backup coverage. Many policies do not include it by default.

Where does the water come from?

Homes here are mostly post-war ranches and bungalows, many with basements. In a hard rain, Ecorse Creek runs high and floor drains can back up.

What about the paperwork?

We keep photos and a daily moisture log and send them to you and your insurance company.

Is sewage water different?

Yes. Anything soft that sewage touched usually goes, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.

Can you help after a fire?

Yes. See fire and smoke cleanup and electronics cleaning.
