My ex's house flooded big time. I took a garden hose, pulled it down the driveway, turned on the hose, then put a kink in it, unscrewed it from the sphigot and quickly placed it on the basement floor... In 20 minutes I had drained at least 2 thousand gallons of water.
. Only problem is that the water table is percolating through the floor and my trick only works in deep water.
