(901) 460-0232Arlington Cases and How Your Restoration Company Responds
You can place your Arlington loss among these 4 cases.
| The situation | What your restoration company does |
|---|---|
| A floor drain backs up on the Town sewer | Handles waste line backflow from beyond a trap as Category 3, per the IICRC S500 standard. |
| An MLGW supply line soaks a wall | Takes readings at the wall and base, then sets water extraction and drying to reach dry goals. |
| Canal or creek water reaches the ground floor | Checks source and water quality after contact, per the IICRC, before it names a category. |
| A business near Depot Square takes water | Documents the loss under commercial water damage, apart from any home. |
Do You Call MLGW or the Town for Water at an Arlington Home?
You call MLGW about a water supply leak at an Arlington home and the Town about sewer, at Town Hall, (901) 867-2620. MLGW's water plan names Arlington, and sewer is a Town utility. Your restoration company separates supply water from sewage water extraction cases, so ask which one fits.
Is a Storm Leak in Arlington Always Category 3 Water?
No, the IICRC says weather-related water is not automatically Category 3, so a storm leak in Arlington gets judged on its source. Rising water from rivers or streams, such as the Loosahatchie River, is listed as Category 3. Ask your restoration company which category it assigns and why.
Does a Homeowners Policy Treat an Arlington Pipe Leak Like Slow Seepage?
No, the Insurance Information Institute says the HO-3 covers accidental discharge from a plumbing system and excludes seepage as a maintenance issue. Your restoration company traces hidden leak water damage with moisture readings, so ask it to record the source in its report.
Arlington Repair Permits Start With a Town Hall Question
Arlington repair permits start with a call to Town Hall at 5854 Airline Rd, (901) 867-2620. Confirm there whether the Town or the county handles the permit, because MLGW says permits depend on location.
A 38002 mailing ZIP does not answer that, since about 17% of that ZIP is Arlington and about 21% is Lakeland. Bring your water damaged drywall repair scope to the call, and confirm which repairs need a permit.
Eads has no town government, so water damage cleanup in Eads has no Town Hall call to start with. Lakeland adds a Shelby County permit for pools, detached garages, and additions, so water damage cleanup in Lakeland runs on its own steps.

What Arlington Owners Ask
Who Clears MLGW to Restore Power at an Arlington House?
A licensed electrician and Code Enforcement clear MLGW to restore power when service equipment is damaged, per MLGW. Ask Town Hall which office inspects an Arlington address, and mention that inspection to your restoration company.
Is Arlington Water the Same System as Collierville's?

What Do Arlington Owners Photograph First?
Arlington owners photograph the damage before cleanup begins and save repair receipts, per FEMA. Your restoration company adds moisture readings to those records, so ask for copies when you call.
