Heavy rains flooded underground basement at a hills side residence.

Heavy rainstorms can transform a peaceful neighborhood scene into a watery nightmare, especially when your basement falls victim to flooding. 

It's a result of overwhelmed drainage systems, poor lot grading, or cracks in the foundation, basement flooding is very common during heavy rain storm. Cracks in the foundation walls or floors provide entry points for rainwater, allowing it to seep into the basement.

Try to determine the source of the flooding. Is it coming from surface water seepage, sewer backups, or foundation cracks? Understanding the source can help in addressing the issue effectively.
