Just as it stopped raining our sump blew the hose out. It's in a dirt celler which is ABOVE THE GRADE OF OUR FINISHED BASEMENT.



We've got some issues.

Lots of water here in the ole basement...Me and my dad have been trying to keep the water out all day. 2 inches of water this morning covering the floor. Shop vacs can only take so much out at once! What a freakin mess. First time this has ever happened here.

Thumbs down pain in the butt

i have tons of work to do yet...everythings wet ,carpet...boxes, and if i don't get things dry i will have mildew ,mold ...and even more water damage....

it rained like no tomorrow last night here.... and even though i'm on top of the mountain the hydro power pushed water down and then back up again from under the slab through a gravel bed ....and there is no sump pump.

i've been running a tube heater to help dry things out.

to quote bigfish: .I am pleased with this little test!
Larry glad your house is high and dry... bravo

this is the most rain we've ever had in recorded history for the month of october,,,,and it aint over yet.... next comes the high winds @ 7 pm

I awoke to fine that I had waterfront property. Flooded the garage and finished basement with about 18". Apparently the three foot outlet pipe for the little stream behind my house clogged, the water rose, collapsed the road and the road effectively dammed the stream. Some parts of my yard were under about 5 feet. What a crappy day,

Best regards,
Roger

Sorry. I thought my basement was bad.
