What the Record Says About Flooding in Bingham Farms
Flood history
The northeast half of the village drains directly to the Rouge River and the southwest half drains to the Franklin Branch of the Rouge. (Village of Bingham Farms, 2021 Master Plan (Giffels...)
The master plan says the village's flood-prone areas largely follow the Rouge River, and Map 9 shows 100-year and 500-year flood zones and a regulatory floodway. (Village of Bingham Farms, 2021 Master Plan (Giffels...)
The 2021 master plan says heavy rain events in the last decade caused property damage and reduced mobility in the local area, and it expects more flooding. (Village of Bingham Farms, 2021 Master Plan (Giffels...)
On August 12, 2019 NOAA logged a flash flood at 8:00 pm under the Franklin label, which neighbors Bingham Farms, and a flood report saying the water took several hours to recede. (NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, Oakland County (Michigan)...)

Our Flood Cleanup Steps
| Stage | Work done |
|---|---|
| Assess the scene | A technician tours the house and tests the structure for danger. Utilities are shut off where needed. The tech notes where the flood water came in. |
| Capture the loss | Every wet room is photographed before work begins. Moisture readings go into a report. You can share these with your agent. |
| Pump out the water | Powerful pumps clear the deep water. Smaller extractors pull water from low spots and floors. Silt is shoveled out and hauled away. |
| Tear out the wet porous items | Flood water soaks into carpet, padding and drywall, so the team removes these. They cut walls above the water line to reach wet cavities. Everything leaves in sealed bags. |
| Dehumidify and dry | Large fans sweep air across surfaces and desiccant units pull humidity out of the room. The crew checks moisture levels again and again. The run ends once every material reads dry. |
| Sanitize and inspect | Cleaners that kill germs go over the framing, floors and hard surfaces. Hidden mold and structural harm get a check. They then talk through repair steps with you. |
What to Expect When You Call for Flood Help
A flood call starts with a few simple questions. Questions cover the water source, the wet rooms and any hazards. Next a crew arrives and walks the house with you. They tell you what happens first and what to leave alone.
Questions people ask us
How do I know the water is contaminated?
Assume it is. Flood water crosses roads, fields and yards before it reaches your house, which makes it category 3.
Does my homeowner policy pay for a flood?
Many homeowner forms leave surface water out. Your home might have a flood policy sold as its own product. Ring your agent and read the terms together. We cannot say what any policy pays.
Should I turn off the power?
Switch off the main breaker only when you can reach it from dry ground. If the panel sits in water, call the utility. Never touch a plug or cord while standing in water.
Can I clean up the flood myself?
A small clean spill, yes. Flood water is different because of contamination, hidden moisture and mold. A trained crew brings the gear and know-how to handle it safely.
What about my belongings?
Glass, metal and some plastics usually wash up well. Soft goods that drank the water are harder to save. The crew sorts what stays and what goes.
