Basement drain gurgling when the river is high?
Why New Hope homes see this
The Lambertville station across the river averages about 50 inches of precipitation a year and about 136 nights at or below freezing. Wet ground and frost heave work on old laterals.
When to stop and call
If the basement drain gurgles during wet spells, a cracked lateral may be taking in water. Report sewage outside to BCWSA, and have your own line checked.
