I even know people who get trickles of water that come in through the clay blocks and then down the drain.I even know people that get a couple inches of water in their basements at least once every couple years, and its almost like they just treat it as a normal routine of clean up and then end up filling the space back up with furniture as though it'll never happen again .But i think the trend is startinv to change alot and basements are starting to become a more used space for beyond just storing stuff.
