on the basement flooding...

In the past hour I've bailed about 50 gallons of water out of the basement. I think we might have a leak... ;-) Ron and the kids are in bed - I think I've got a long night ahead of me. This amount of water, after the kids and I bailed and cleaned up the flood all afternoon, calls for a bit more ibuprofen... and a pot of strong coffee! Sleep well folks!

  1. so I've been up all night bailing the water out of the basement, the kids were up between 2-4 with me because I was fighting a losing battle, one we got it under control I sent them back to bed. Then I was able to get a few winks of sleep at 10 minutes intervals so I could empty buckets. I was surprised when I woke and came upstairs that Ron had already left for work and the sun was really trying to peek it's head out. Good morning all!

  3. Has this ever happened before? Sump pumps are such good friends unless the power is out from the storm that caused the problem in the first place. I've had a flooded basement many times and it is no fun. I feel for you.

  5. Sump pump to the rescue....unless you test it out in your kitchen...what was ours is now yours...meaning the sump pump not your Mom's kitchen!

So what's the view from your world about that? I'd enjoy hearing it.
