“I really start flipping out when I hear raindrops. I just know it’s going to be a long day or a long night”.
Recore explained that when it rains an inch or more, the basement in his Depew home floods. Often ruining whatever is in its path.
“When it rains I get so much water coming into my sub pump. I have three pumps that I have to keep running. I’m pumping out sometimes 10,000 gallons of water an hour” said Recore of Depew.
