Great,........ just great!!
Thank you rain! My basement is now flooding upto 2 inches in some parts.
Now i get to spend my week off from work to clean this up. Thanks!!!
Anyone else experiencing the joy of water?
I just bought land. In addition to several springs along my mountainous driveway, it's a torrential flood of rain water. Serious wash-out.

yep. I had a pool in my house yesterday and last week.
Divert your downspouts at least six feet away from your house. Looks like hell, but my basement has remained dry. Downspouts into the storm drains backed up before I did this. Gonna be a major project to clean the drains out. Maybe after I stop paying college tuition for my daughter...

My sump pump was going seemingly non stop there for awhile, I was passing a house lastnight out in the country and even though it was pitch black outside I could tell this guy was damn near surrounded by water, it looked like he had a moat around his house literally, surprised if he didnt have to have a canoe to get out.
Had a slight amout of water come up thru the floor. I think my problem is a plugged up downspout.

it's that way out by my dad's house. farm fields are now temporary lakes!
I had a little bit come through one corner, but luckily my base floor there slants towards a floor drain. Lucky because I don't have a crock and a sump down there.
