Nytracker Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Well we got a lot of rain ...... and the backyard is flooded again . Water is about 30 feet from the house and rising ... 5 years ago county/state rebuilt the bridge upstream . The way they built it it has no deflection so it blows up over the bank and into my backyard . This house has been here for 40 years and only flooded 1 time before the bridge was rebuilt. This is the 3rd time in 5 years. No water has made it to the house . .... Just venting . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob-c Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Oh man hope it recedes soon for ya . It has slowed a lot here in Campbell, and surprising enough I haven’t heard our sump pump kick on. Now we have to worry about the high winds tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytracker Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Well flooding doesn't seem to be as bad as last summer. From what I can see there is debris but doesn't look like alot of rock . Too dark to tell. House stayed dry ... thank god ! Wont know for sure until I get home from work . Hopefully it dries out enough to remove before it freezes in for the winter.

Arcade Hunter Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Pumped out my girlfriends basement until midnight last night. Luckily I was able to pump faster then the water could come in and nothing made it to the finished side, so no damage. The original sewer line was cut on the side of the house and all the original drain openings in the basement were plugged with hydraulic cement... except for the stationary tub. Ground water was entering through the abandoned line and filling up the tub... every 5 minutes, pump the tub out into the sump hole. Now I have to relocate the drain to the sump hole and plug a few more spots where water comes in... good thing the power didn't go out or this would have been a horrible mess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
