Hello,
Lots of water in the basement due to the NE floods. *RI got creamed. *I

How long do I need to wait until I can begin rebuilding? *I was thinking at

Thanks for your time.


If your going to rebuild, you should protect yourself for next time by
putting in a French drain, otherwise you'll be ripping it out again.
