The fast moving rain and thunder storms that are running across CT on 10/24/17 from west to east are causing flash flooding to many homes and businesses in a widespread fashion. It is crucial for homeowners and business owners to deal with ground water entering their properties in an immediate fashion.

Groundwater can carry unknown contaminants that can travel with the rain water that passes through the soil and pickup potential pesticides and other unknown contaminants and deposit them in your affected areas. For example, Beryllium, naturally occurs in soil and groundwater. To learn more about the effects of Beryllium from water damage, please follow this link for more information https://water.usgs.gov/edu/groundwater-contaminants.html
