Kenosha homes and water damage
Library Park has historic homes with basements. Many Library Park and Uptown homes are early-1900s houses with stone basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors that need careful drying. Floor drains tied into older sewers back up during heavy storms. Newer homes on the west side have finished basements with sump pumps, where a pump failure can soak carpet and drywall quickly. Many homes have basement storage and laundry, so a burst pipe or sewer backup can soak belongings quickly.
