How this tool works
The check adds up the four things that most often put water in a Greeley basement: how close the home sits to the Cache la Poudre, the South Platte or Sheep Draw, whether a finished basement has window wells, whether a sump pump has backup power, and the age of the sewer lateral. Homes built before 1950 near downtown and Glenmere often still carry clay or cast iron laterals that roots crack and clog.
It is a quick read, not an inspection. If the basement is already wet, the basement flooding cleanup and window well flooding pages explain what happens next. River flood zones are mapped on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
