It sounds like Edgewood got hit particularly badly.
A reader asks:
“We own a partial basement in Shaw. No issues for the first three years (2014-2017) but since then we’ve had flooding 2-3 times a year. We get the drains snaked regularly, and clean the outside drains of debris. It seems to happen when the pipes are overwhelmed by large storms. No one has been able to provide a fix – any suggestions or plumber/contractor recommendations? Just cleaning up the floods is getting old…thanks!”

Several Edgewood neighbors had their worst nightmare happen today. Water just started coming out from toilets and drains. I hope we can get answers from @dcwater soon. Hopefully @CM_McDuffie @kenyanmcduffie can help us. @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/dEh43iKSCc

Water backup in my basement today – Just had to sit and watch it happen because there was nothing I could do. Not shown in the video is water coming from my toilet and tub. Same thing happened 3 years ago. What can we do about this?@dcwater @PoPville @DCist @BrianneKNadeau pic.twitter.com/1zfYZoIc7r

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
