Water damage in Farmington
Farmington sits 13 miles from Troy and files flood claims far more often than the rest of Oakland County. FEMA flood insurance records show 1.8 claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025, against 0.2 for the county, with an average building payment of $31,950. Yet only 0.3% of county homes carry federal flood insurance, so a flooded basement is usually a question for the homeowners policy and any sewer backup endorsement. Check both.
Census figures show 75% of homes were built before 1980, and 33% are in buildings with 5 or more units, against 18% countywide. Older basements with floor drains and aging sump pumps take in water during heavy rain and snowmelt. NOAA climate normals count 146 nights at or below 32 degrees and 62 at or below 20, when hose lines and pipes along rim joists freeze and split. Farmington is handled with the Troy area, and if a floor drain pushed water back into the basement, sewage cleanup comes before any drying.

First steps after a leak in Farmington
Farmington sits 13 miles from Troy and runs colder than Oakland County. NOAA climate normals show 146 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, against 138 for the county. When a pipe splits, close the main shutoff in the basement near the meter, then switch off breakers for wet rooms.

About 33% of homes sit in buildings of 5 or more units and 35% are rented. That means apartment residents should call the manager to shut a riser. With the line shut, burst pipe cleanup can begin.
