Royal Baby Mania is getting me down.
I swear to God this kid better be some kind of Christ child for all the media hype we gotta deal with.

I just want to say fuck you rain !!! We recently bought a house . It has a finished basement which has our master bedroom , laundry room , and living room . So the basement is our main living area . I woke up and stepped out of bed c to 6" of water . Not a good way to start the day . The whole basement was flooded !! We bailed put the water with trash cans and had a flood cleanup company come out to start the drying process . To the tune of $1000.00 . ... But , I guess the fact that me the wife and the pets are good , and nothing that was irreplaceable was damaged . Trying to look at the bright side ...

Man, I feel for you JB. Basement flooding I have been dealing with since I bought our house but it's never been as bad as that! 1000 dollars gone in a flash, not cool. angry smiley Hopefully you didn't lose anything essential. I just got done ripping out an improperly built basement wall (as you know) cuz it had black mold on it and no vapor barior and no insulation. The dumbass who lived here before I did built a wall that was made of 2X2 untreated pine and cheap ass wallboard instead of real drywall. The 2X2 pine was screwed to the cement floor using standard screws. So they rusted of course, and the wood acted like a sponge every time it rained. Because it was behind the wallboard we couldn't see the mold growing but eventually the smell was too much. I tore it down and revealed black mold and holes in the foundation as big as my fist! I patched up all the holes, killed the mold, painted it with Drilock paint (Great stuff) and now it's remained bone dry even during recent storms. So now I gotta rebuild using treated 2X4 on the base 2X4 on the walls and moisture resistant drywall going back up. Hooray! A project that I thought would be a 200 dollar one ended up being 1000 after I saw the extent and had to rebuild completely. angry grinding teeth

Like I said, that was little flooding over the past few years, not one giant flood like you had of 6" of water. Hopefully you don't have any underlying issues (holes in the foundation behind the drywall) that made this issue worse, hopefully it was just a freak rainstorm and it won't reoccur. Keep your fingers crossed, I am!

Feel your pain, JB....had a water heater go on me and had a few inches in my basement a couple of years ago....not prettyreally angry Lessoned learned tho......get yourself a decent wet-vac (or shop-vac as they called in some circles). Makes the water removal a much quicker and easier process. You never know when you'll need it but, trust and believe you'll be thankful if you do. It was the 2nd time Eye had a flood in the basement and that 1st time, trying to get the water out without it was a pain in the azz!

Eye picked up one very similar to this one:
