## Story

According to Thomsen, his business is getting twice as many calls as normal, as increased rainfall has led to flooded out basements. He encouraged homeowners to prepare for the threat of oncoming storms by checking their basements and crawl spaces for any sign of standing water. If homes are prone to flooding, he says it’s best to act now before the damage is done.
