Midwest Summer Drought

Midwest Summer Drought - The consequences of the Midwest drought have been insurmountable. The process of what happens is best described by this. When dirt is dry and clumped together it does not allow water to penetrate. When soil is damp, water can easily follow the path of least resistance and sink down to be absorbed. Soil absorbs moisture better when damp, acting like a sponge. What we've been seeing is that when it does rain or people use their hoses (to water lawns gardens, trees, etc.), the water has nowhere to go from the ground being so dry. In this situation, water ends up inside the home, easily flooding basements since the water followed the path of least resistance. We are fully prepared to help with your water damage during this summer drought.
