Local fact: Birmingham has about 116 miles of sewers, split into storm, sanitary, and combined lines. Older parts of the city run on combined sewers that carry both rainwater and wastewater, which raises backup risk in heavy rain. The city's sewers are designed for a 10-year storm, a rate storms have exceeded in recent years. source

About Birmingham

21,763residents
$153,510median household income
70.4%homes built before 1980
1,960median year built
77.1%owner-occupied homes
$698,300median home value

Birmingham has 21,763 residents and 9,440 households (ACS 2024 5-year estimates for Birmingham city). 70.4 percent of its homes were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1,960.

77.1 percent of homes are owner-occupied. The median home value is $698,300. Older housing stock tends to need more plumbing, roofing, electrical and water damage work, so these figures help explain local demand. They do not measure it.

Our November 2026 data has 9 restoration companies with a Birmingham mailing address: 4.1 per 10,000 residents. A mailing city can differ from the city limits, so treat the ratio as a guide.

Since 2000, Oakland County has been named in 6 federal flood, storm or ice declarations, per FEMA. Its latest is DR-4757 (February 2024). FEMA's flood insurance data shows 582 claims from Oakland County since 1978 and $5,514,910 paid. 135 of those claims were for floods from 2016 to 2025. The most claims in one year came in 1981, with 60.

How to choose a restoration company in Birmingham

Birmingham's housing stock varies by block. South Poppleton and Birmingham Southwest hold many homes built between 1940 and 1969 or earlier, with older plumbing and sewer laterals. Newer construction, like the Rail District's lofts built after 2008, carries different risk. A restoration company working in Birmingham should know the difference between a storm sewer, a sanitary sewer, and the combined lines that still serve older parts of the city, because combined lines back up faster in heavy rain. The company should also know that repair and rebuild work tied to water damage often needs a permit from the city's Building Department, filed through BS&A Online, and that work can stall without one. Ask whether the company has handled claims tied to a city sewer backup, since those claims run on a strict 45-day notice deadline set by the city, separate from any report you file about the flood itself. A company that knows Birmingham's sewer districts and permit process will move faster than one learning the city's rules on your job.

Questions

Who should I call for water damage in Birmingham, MI?

Call Prime Restoration in Bloomfield Hills at (586) 277-1069. It ranks #1 of 136 scored restoration companies within 10 miles of Birmingham on TownAnswer, with a score of 97 out of 100 from 5.0 stars and 178 Google reviews. For a gas leak or an active fire, leave the building and call 911 first.

Which restoration company is closest to Birmingham?

SERVPRO of Birmingham, Troy in Birmingham is the closest scored company to the Birmingham city center, about 0.2 miles away. Its phone is (248) 622-2411.

Does Birmingham MI have combined sewers?

Yes, in older parts of the city. Birmingham runs storm, sanitary, and combined sewer lines across about 116 miles of pipe. A combined line carries both rainwater and wastewater in the same pipe. That shared capacity is one reason some older Birmingham neighborhoods see basement backups during heavy rain.

How do I report a flooded basement in Birmingham Michigan?

Call the city at 248.530.1703 or fill out the online water event form. This report is separate from a damage claim. After you report it, the Department of Public Services checks the flow in the public sewer main near your home.

How long do I have to file a sewer backup claim with the City of Birmingham?

You have 45 days from the day you discover the damage to send written notice. Use the city's Sewer Backup Claim Letter and Form, not the general property damage form. Send it to the City Manager's Office at PO Box 3001, Birmingham, MI 48012-3001, or email hr@bhamgov.org.

Why does my basement flood every time it rains in Birmingham?

Birmingham's sewers are built for a 10-year storm, meaning a storm with a 10% chance of happening in any year. Recent storms, including one in August 2023, exceeded that design standard. Older homes on combined sewer lines are more likely to see repeat backups in heavy rain.
