    Flooded basement
    We have a split level where the finished lower level windows are at ground level. We flooded during a heavy Noreaster storm (the water was coming up through the foundation) and had to rip out our wall-to-wall carpeting. Before we replace the carpeting, we need to assure this flooding won't happen again. Who should I be asking to come inspect the reason for the flood and suggest solutions?

    Could you tell us if you have a sump pump and did your power fail for long time during the storm? Are you on city water or a well? Back to you.
