Thanks Ross but they are crap walls my nephew put up and they are gonna have to go someday anyway when my Mom sells the house as they look like Mickey Mouse put them in and painted them white and powder blue! Flood=blessing in disguise!
I am proud to say not a drop in the basement. Late last year I had water gushing through a window in the basement. Its dug out and stoned near the window but there was so much rain the water from the gutter formed a wall in the mulch bed and stacked up in the window well. I was looking up at the window from the basement and the whole thing was underwater. As water was pouring in I tried tightening the window and it made it worse. I ended up outside with a marine battery and a bilge pump. After 2 hours and getting the house soaked it was under control enough to pat it down and silicone. I siliconed the crap out of that window and it will never open again. But I am one very happy camper. This storm would have destroyed my entire basement if that didn't happen last year.
