Ellendale Road Flood Aftermath

Sam Tomasello stands in the basement of his Newville home and remembers the home as it looked just a year ago. Tomasello’s basement floor cracked and heaved due to water pressure. The home also has other water damage that still has to be repaired. Even though the river level is near normal for this time of year, Tomasello still has seepage in the basement and the sump pump runs constantly.
