Flooded Basement

Our home was poorly built in the 1970's. Every time it rains, water leaks in through the basement walls and we have a real mess on our hands. We live at the top of a very high hill, so you'd think flooding would never be a concern, but it is in our home. Watching the weather for several days, it looked like rain was approaching. Slow moving, heavy rain. My husband, anticipating this, made sure all the drainage around the house was clear and the rain gutters on the roof were clean. Rain came last night and continues all day today. So far, the basement is dry. When you know something is always going to be a problem, you strategically plan for it to minimize the damage.
