Fox Park's south-city brick homes, built 80-plus years ago, suffer basement flooding from a combination of low-lying lots and deteriorated perimeter drainage. Sump-pump failures are the leading culprit, especially when systems lack maintenance. Fox Park's low-lying lots collect groundwater easily, and deteriorated perimeter drainage channels water toward brick foundations. Aging sump pumps work overtime but fail frequently from lack of maintenance. When they fail, basement ceilings absorb water within hours. From Fox Park, crews also cover nearby JeffVanderLou, Gate District, Benton Park, Hyde Park, Compton Heights, Soulard. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
