Flood Watch

Quincy has been one of the top towns in the news lately regarding flooding (as well as Waltham). Thankfully, we have not experienced any flooding at our house. Our street is on a hill which has been saver for us since all the water drains down the away from the house. The one issue we have had is that the water that has collected on top of the pool cover has almost filled to the top! But again if it does start to overflow, it most likely will go down the hill.

I can only imagine how awful it must be for all those people who are dealing with flooded basements. Less than a mile away from my neighborhood, many residents have been hit hard. I am so glad that we researched the flood zones in Quincy and considered it in our house search. Not knowing much about the town or its flooding history or what questions to consider when house hunting could of really been problematic. Note to all who are in the market for a house- put this factor at the top of your search!
