Idaho has not seen this much rain in one season in many, many years. June had three weeks strait of rain and the storms are raging into July. We have plenty of water for our reservoirs, but the rising water has been dangerous and a cause of two drowning in the last week. Flooding of homes basements has also been a problem. The hail from the last storm clogged homes downspouts overflowing the gutters, got into window wells and then into the foundations. Carpet cleaning companies have had an influx of business from various eastern Idaho cities, like Idaho Falls. Cleaning and restoration is a difficult job and if not done properly, the water can seep into the walls and be a breeding place for mold. Idaho Falls carpet cleaning companies were so busy last week that they actually had to turn customers away which is not ideal for the homeowner with the backed up sewage systems that poured into some basements. The last few months in Idaho have certainly been more like Washington as the rising water has wreaked havoc, but made our state unusually green.
