[quote=Anonymous]It depends where they are relative to their neighbors in terms of elevation, and whether there's a storm drain that floods in the vicinity. You need to go, look around and ask the neighbors. We have a basement that flooded a little years ago, because we're at the bottom of our street, and the street that's behind our house is at a higher elevation, so the water pours down both into our yard. My husband dug a trench along the back (now greened) that absorbs water and lets run-off go to the side of our property down a drive way and into the road. No more flooding since. All this to say, there are possible remedies. The best remedies will not be indoors (aside from a sump pump), but outdoors, in your yard with trenches and drains.[/quote]
