the apartment complex that i live in has 3 buildings and the basement in all 3 were completely flooded (3+ feet). they finally got someone out here to pump the water out around 11pm and here it is almost 5 am and they are just now getting to my building. so, here i am waiting for them to get finished so that i can go down and see what else was destroyed besides a shit load of books and atleat 1 photo album that i can see. anyone else have this problem?<br />

<p>My Parents basement floods all the time, water comes right through the
cement. And they live in a real nice neighborhood. Sometimes it has to
do with just where your house is built. In their case, the water table
is only about 10-12 feet below their house, the nearest body of water
is about 5 miles away. </p><p>Meanwhile, my condo is about 200 feet from a bay, and I never get floods<br />

<p>my sump pump was working fine, checked it everyday HOWEVER!!! had some water come up above the floor in the opposite corner of the basement. i have a french drain basement floor and for some reason the water in one corner didn't make it's way around to the sump pump hole in the opposite corner fast enough</p><p>had a saturated rug... i cut it up in pieces and carried it out with a big rubbermaid container.&nbsp;&nbsp; no more rugs in the basement never had a drop of water in the basement till 8 years ago when we put the in-ground pool in. it must have changed how the water flows and settles around the house. may have to dig another hole and put a second sump pump in the opposite corner</p>

We took out all the carpet and now i need to get out&nbsp; the
furniture and figure out what to do with the dvds that got hit. the one
thing that survived was the cats litter b. didnt get a drop of water in
it, just floated around the room.<br />

<p>stump</p><p>sorry to hear about your basement. we're still trying to get all the water out. there is still 4-5 in. everytime the shut the pumps off, the water level rises. luckily,it appears i only lost some books and maybe a tent. not sure if i feel like drying it out. hope everything works out for you. you might let the dvds dry off &amp; see if they work.&nbsp;</p>

i'm just glad that furie had moved most of the valuable/sentimental stuff to a storage unit, before this happened. but we have no hot water or heat and fromt he way it looks probably won't have them for a week. this really sucks.<br />

Stump&nbsp; I can feel your pain. Right now I am trying to pump out My basement.&nbsp; Have two pumps running&nbsp; and still have no heat or hot water since the water is still mid calf in height and still rising a little&nbsp;but then I live about 5-6 feet above sealevel here.

you have two choices: Castration or a one way ticket to New York

<p>got mine all dried up and put a fresh coat of paint on the floor. will probably get a throw rug for the sitting area.&nbsp; my co-workers a plumber and he suggests a second sump pump for the opposite corner. he said he'd lend me a jackhammer&nbsp; and a saw to make cuts in the concrete &quot; oh goodie &quot;. not sure if i want to get ino this project. he said he'd charge me 4 to 500 for the whole job which includes digging the hole, sump pump and pvc piping, &quot;except electricity&quot;&nbsp; he said he would usually charge 800.</p><p>decisions decisions decisions</p>
