Basement flooding St. Louis is a real headache after heavy rains, especially in older neighborhoods with combined sewer systems. I've seen water seep through foundation cracks and overwhelm sump pumps, turning storage rooms into muddy pools. It's not just the mess—it's the mold and warped drywall that follow. Many folks here install French drains or battery backups for their pumps, but you have to stay on top of gutter cleaning and grading around the house.
