What Franklin homeowners deal with
Census figures show 41% of Franklin homes were built before 1980 and 16% before 1950, against 68% and 33% across Norfolk County. The town lies near Wrentham and is served with the Taunton area. Renters occupy 22% of homes and 19% are in buildings with 5 or more units, so most leaks involve an owner, a basement and drywall rather than plaster.
Cold is the main driver. NOAA climate normals show 152 nights a year at or below 32 degrees and 19 days that stay below freezing, and the town averages 48 inches of snow. A pipe in an exterior wall or basement can freeze and split, and snowmelt can seep in at the foundation. Storm risk is lower than the county's, with yearly inland flood loss of 45 per $100,000 of building value against 61, though Norfolk County logged 36 days with flash flood or flood reports from 2016 to 2025 and has had 11 major disaster declarations for floods and storms since 2000. Basement water from outside is Category 3 and calls for water removal and flood cover.
