Every time it rains, our basement floods, and it's getting old. We've tried clearing the gutters and even got a sump pump, but nothing seems to stop the inch of muddy water that seeps in through the walls. It's a constant headache dealing with soggy boxes and wet carpets, and I'm worried about mold starting to grow.
