Rain Storm

Hurricanes and tropical storms can dump between 6 and 12 inches of rain during a single storm. On average, Maryland sees about 44 inches of rain every year.  Lately, Anne Arundel County has seen tremendous rainfall.

Scientists believe that Maryland is experiencing so much rainfall for several reasons including rising sea levels and extreme heat. So far in 2020 the area has seen tropical storms, severe thunderstorms, and even a tornado. Scientists predict the number of storms during hurricane season are also increasing. 

Recently, we were called to a small office building in Pasadena for water damage. The sump pump in the basement became overwhelmed and flooded their basement. The building basement had several inches of standing water in it. The water sat until someone came to the office in the morning. Our crew was able to act swiftly and get the water removed and the basement dried out.
