South St. Louis residents recovering after sewer water floods homes

For many of us, the basement is where we keep most of our memories; old pictures, childhood toys, but residents in South St. Louis say those memories are now destroyed after their basements were completely flooded.

“You gotta get through it before you can do anything else. We’re all in disaster mode I guess,” said Vicky Grass.

Grass said everyone along Louis Street is cleaning up their flooded basements after a pump station failure along River Des Peres sent sewer water rushing into their homes.
