Waterproofing in Fairlawn: Questions

My Fairlawn basement stayed dry in August 2024. Am I safe?

Not necessarily. Fairlawn's report that night was 2.22 inches, while nearby reports reached 4 to 7 inches. A dry basement in a light storm says little about a heavy one, so test the sump pump, check downspouts and watch for new cracks.
