RE: Woodward Boulevard
To Whom It May Concern:
We are Sean and Dawn Comerford and we live at 3795 Woodward Boulevard. We have lived in our house since July of 2013 and have had our basement flood twice.
The first time was on August 29, 2017 during a heavy rain. Water just poured up the drain in our basement floor.
Our finished half of our basement consisted of a family room, bathroom and spare bedroom.
During this flood we lost all the carpeting, vinyl flooring, baseboards, doors and drywall.
We eventually repaired the basement. We decided to go without carpeting and went with durable vinyl flooring with underlayment that had dimples in it to help with water if the basement should flood again.
The second flood was on August 28, 2020, almost 3 years to the day of the first flood. Again, it happened during a heavy rain event but with a lot more water coming up from the drain.
