So we had a SUPER DUPER RAIN/HAIL storm yesterday and.....well
First the rain started running down the sidewalk into my garage door which is in the basement....
i redirected water into the drain in the garage with blue stone engineering
then all hell broke loose... the drain stopped draining and began to SPEW WATER OUT INTO MY BASEMENT which is a garage and a half finished living room and two bed rooms
i began bailing water by hand with a small bucket and two friends with recycling bins lol it was pretty funny
after about 30 min water started going down the drain and the basement had only 1-2 inches of water in it
we bailed about 500-750gallons of water in that half hour
it was only a crazy 30-45min rain storm heres some pics
OH YA did i forget to mention we got home from a bike ride about 5 min befor this started lol it chased us all the way home i was doing the speed limit though!! i think?
The first pics are when i just got back!
I took no pictures of bailing but this is about 1 min after it started going back down the drain
FOUND MY DRIVEWAY!!!
These were pics taken just down the road 75 yards or so about 30 min later... im assuming this is why water stopped going down and started coming back up!
The poor P6RD Got her Toes wet =((((
