Most homes in Franklin Square went up fast during the post-war building boom, so the original supply lines and water heaters are now well past their expected lifespan. Many Franklin Square basements rely on a retrofitted sump pump, and a pump failure during heavy rain is a frequent cause of calls. Many Franklin Square foundations predate modern vapor barriers, and that gap is a frequent reason basements take on water after prolonged rain.
