Hundreds of people have had their lives turned upside down by the serious storms this week and the flooding that has ensued. Summit County was hit especially hard and declared a state of emergency.
Considering the extensive flooding occurring right now, it would be easy to curse the day your basement was born.
It’s a dank pit below your feet, in some cases constantly flooding, growing mold and smelling foul. Condensation forms on pipes and walls, sump pumps get overwhelmed or fail and your precious belongings stored below get ruined….arrgh!
You may swear that you’ll never own a basement again. BUT…consider the alternatives. The grass is not necessarily greener without a basement.
