Thousands of homes in Calgary are in danger of flooding

 

 

Thousands of homes in Calgary are in danger of flooding. Calgarians are increasingly turning to home service companies for help with home repairs, according to figures. As a result, home service companies are being forced to bring in more workers from around the country.

Heavy rains have flooded many parts of the city. The city received more than 200 millimetres of rain in June and July. Following this, the number of calls coming to Groundworks’ Calgary office has increased by more than 300 per cent. The company said it is now booking for September. Officials say that Calgary homes are experiencing more flooding than in 2013. The home service company is receiving more calls asking for foundation repairs, waterproofing and concrete repairs in people’s basements.
