(901) 460-0232Cordova Cases and How Your Restoration Company Responds
You can find your Cordova loss among these 3 cases.
| The situation | What your restoration company does |
|---|---|
| A condo unit above drips into a ceiling below | Reads the ceiling with moisture meters, labels each reading by unit, and scopes ceiling water damage cleanup. |
| A wall cavity stays wet after a pipe leak | Sets a drying goal and runs water extraction and drying until readings meet it. |
| A Cordova shop or office takes water | Handles the space under commercial water damage, apart from any residential unit. |
Does the Memphis Line Change Who You Call in Cordova?
No, the Memphis line does not change who you call in Cordova for power, gas, or code enforcement. MLGW lists one code enforcement number and supplies power and gas on both sides. Cordova High School carries a Cordova address and sits inside Memphis, per the Census, so give your restoration company the street address.
Who Is Responsible for a Leak Between Cordova Condo Units?
A leak between Cordova units splits under the Tennessee Condominium Act: association for common elements, owner for the unit, subject to your declaration. Your restoration company reads moisture in both units, so ask for those readings in writing. Read the condo and rental questions in the water damage FAQ for unit owners.
Is Wolf River Water Treated Differently From a Pipe Leak in Cordova?
Yes, Wolf River water is treated differently, because the IICRC S500 standard lists rising water from rivers or streams as Category 3. Your restoration company sets the category before storm and flood water cleanup begins, so ask for it in writing.
Cordova Permits Follow the Property, Not the Post Office
Cordova permits follow the property's location, and MLGW says permits depend on where you are. A 38016 or 38018 mailing address does not decide the office, since each ZIP spans Memphis and unincorporated land.
For Memphis and remaining Shelby County areas, MLGW gives (901) 222-8302. Call that number and confirm whether your water damaged drywall repair needs a permit.
Southwind keeps a Memphis mailing city with about 14% of its ZIP there, so water damage cleanup in Southwind falls outside the city more frequently. Eads reaches into Fayette County, so water damage cleanup in Eads can go to a Fayette County permit office.
Ask a restoration company serving Cordova which records it keeps for a condo association.

What Cordova Owners Ask
Does a Cordova Renters Policy Cover a Burst Pipe?
Yes, the Insurance Information Institute says standard renters insurance covers burst pipes. Read your own policy for its limits. Your restoration company dates its photos and moisture readings, so ask for copies for your insurer.
Can You Stay in a Cordova Apartment With Water on the Floor?
No, not while the power is on, since FEMA says not to enter a flooded or wet building in that condition. Tennessee's landlord and tenant act applies in Shelby County and requires fit and habitable premises. Ask your restoration company who confirms the power status.
Is Water Removal in Cordova, TN Different Inside Memphis Limits?
No, water removal in Cordova, TN follows the same IICRC S500 standard on both sides of the Memphis line. This site has not confirmed the sewer provider by address, so ask your restoration company what it notes about the sewer.
