A couple in New Jersey is asking its water utility to help figure out why their basement has been flooding with water for the past year at a rate of 2.5 gpm.

“It’s costing us our home. Right now our home is worth nothing,” Penelope Garcia tells NJ.com. “There’s no way we can sell it. We can’t even leave it for long periods of time because we don’t know what will happen to the basement.”
