    Default Water problems


    Not only has the rain been a big problem, I came home yesterday to a basement with 4” of water in it. Sump pump failed on us!

    Quick call to my insurance lady and I began the pumping and drying out process. Luckily I spent 6 agonizing months working for a company that did this kind of service.

    I got the pumps going then Judy and I began tearing up carpet/laminate flooring throwing out damaged items etc., waiting on a dumpster so everything is being put out on the concrete approach until one becomes available.

    Also thanks Rich for the offer to help out.

    With how often they run there is never an indication of when they fail. And they always fail when needed. I now understand why people have two. One with a low float, and a backup with a high float just for when the main fails.

    That really sucks Steve. Holler if I can help in any way. Rich is right about the backup pump.

    I take care of a duplex for my mother and got a call from a renter last night at 9:30 saying the basement was flooded. Thinking the worst I grabbed my knee high boots. They had water out 3 feet from the walls and flowing towards a still working sump pump. Not a lat night emergency if you ask me but I did get to tell them to clean the junk out of the basement.

    One of the great things about having a bunch of fishing friends is.....they are a support group.

    What can I say, I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress. And Judy, too.
