The basement of New Haven Hall in North Campus at the University of Connecticut flooded Monday due to a storm Sunday night.
“The New Haven Hall basement flooding was the result of heavy rain that fell in a short period of time,” UConn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said.
Since the flooding was confined to the basement of the building, it did not affect any student dorms.
“They didn’t have to remove any students,” Reitz said. “(The flooding) didn’t affect anybody in terms of needing to move anybody else.”
The water was pumped out of the basement promptly and the issue was resolved by the evening, Reitz said.

Flooding can be caused by poor basement waterproofing. I recently had the pleasure of working with StellarWork https://stellarwork.ca/ – the waterproofing company in Toronto, and they did an excellent job of waterproofing my basement. From the initial consultation to the completion of the job, the team at Stellar Work was professional, courteous, and efficient. They took the time to thoroughly explain the process and answer any questions I had. The waterproofing process itself was done quickly and effectively, and the team made sure to clean up after themselves, leaving my basement looking better than before they arrived. Since the job was completed, I have not had any issues with water leakage or dampness in my basement. It is clear that this team takes great pride in its work and is committed to providing high-quality services to its clients.
