Ever since a DEP project to repair a local water main break homeowners have been dealing with flooding in their basement. The water comes in directly under the stoop any time there is a heavy rain or the hydrants on the block are opened. While DEP has taken a look at the problem they have not come up with a solution or even any advice. How can they find the source of the leak?
Please chime in with your advice.
