Default After the basement flood. Now what?


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.


YES, but if victim lives in a flood plain where water came in door a
french drain wouldnt help.

if french drain is installed drain to daylight if at all possible or
add a standby sump pump for backup with SEPERATE drain line
