What Clawson homeowners deal with
Clawson is served with the Troy area, and its homes are older than the county's. Census figures show 84% were built before 1980 and 17% before 1950, against 59% and 13% for Oakland County, while 26% are rented. Many of those houses have basements with block walls, a floor drain and a water heater on the floor, where a split pipe or a drain backup can soak carpet, paneling and stored boxes.
Cold drives much of the work. NOAA climate normals show 135 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, 47 days that stay below freezing and 36 inches of snow, so pipes in exterior walls freeze and spring melt pushes water against foundations. FEMA's National Risk Index rates the yearly inland flood loss at $61 per $100,000 of building value, above the county's 52, and Oakland County storm reports list flash flooding or flooding on 13 days from 2016 to 2025. A drain backup is Category 3 and usually needs a sewer backup rider. Water removal in Royal Oak starts in the same kind of basement.

The first hour in Clawson
Clawson's housing is older than Oakland County's, with 84% of homes built before 1980 against 59%, so many houses here have basements with old floor drains and shutoff valves. When water shows up, close the main shutoff where the line enters the basement, turning an old valve slowly. Switch off the breakers to the basement or any wet room. Photograph the water, the source and the damage, including stored boxes. Carry what you can upstairs. With 135 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, a winter leak may be a split pipe. In a spring storm it may be the floor drain backing up instead, and that job is sewage cleanup. Calls from the Troy area are answered 24/7.
