When it rains it pours...
It hasn't even been a full 24 hours since my last wet basement problem and already I have another. This time instead of coming down the stairs to a squish squish it was splash splash.
It seems the new water line that was run into the basement where they had to drill a big hole didn't exactly get quite as tightly sealed as one might have liked. Therefore it was like having a water tap on the wall. Tappa-kegga-all-the-freaking-rain we're having right into my basement.
Of course when there's a steady stream of water flowing through an orifice into your basement it is hard to stop this because so many products require setup time, drying time, and or dry calm conditions to work. few things are able to set up and work under a deluge of water. So instead of waiting for the weekend I'm bailing out of work to go visit my friend homer to see what sort of finger in the dam products they offer. Wish me luck.
