A house swollen by flood waters from the nearby Des Plains river has been gutted from the basement to the first floor to prevent the dispersement of mold and other complications. Many homes, businesses and roads were damaged and compromised due to severe flash flooding on April 18 and more than 7 inches of rain fell in parts of northeast and central Illinois.
