Anthony’s basement typically only flooded during torrential rainstorms, so he was never too concerned about it. But after several “100-year” storms struck the northeast in the past couple of years leaving a lake on his basement floor each time, he knew the problem would only get worse and he had to do something about his flooded basement.
His basement had water infiltration from two sources: leaking concrete around Bilco-style doors, which caused water to enter the basement and pool on the floor around the door, and ground water infiltration from under the floor due to a rising water table after heavy or continuous rains. This caused flooding of the entire basement and ruined the flooring on the finished side of the basement.
