basement flooding St. Louis 59

Basement flooding in St. Louis is a real headache, especially after heavy spring rains or when the Mississippi swells. Many older homes here have foundation cracks or insufficient drainage, so water seeps in fast. I've had to rip out soaked carpet and disinfect twice this year alone. Sumps pumps help, but they can fail if the power goes out. It's a messy, stressful problem that feels endless when you're mopping up at midnight.
