A storm drain can back up during heavy rain and force street runoff through a low drain or opening. The water may carry grit, sewage and other contaminants across a basement floor or into adjoining rooms.

A basement full of runoff needs pumping and moisture assessment. The restoration team does that work; it does not alter municipal storm infrastructure.
