GbayGiant Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Damn, hope your ok, only 3 feet to go not much to work with. Get the sand bags out. I don't know if they even work, but they do in the movies. Maybe call the fire station or police and see if they can help some how before it's too late ?

MoriaRiverMan Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 3 feet verticle actually when i was just out........its more like a foot and half sand bags wont help ........... i just hope i dont wake up to a poop show in the morning ............ im the lowest house to top things off........both neighbours are in much better shape so far... might have to get on the phone in the morning if it continues to rise at this rate...........will got out tonight before i goto bed and check new stick i put up.

Ramble Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well man THAT sucks....no two ways about it. They have been getting flooded along their as long as i can remember, Foxboro gets pretty wet too. I don't know whose bright idea it was to let them develop the flood plain, but that guy should be strapped to one of the trees in your backyard and see if might be able to come up with a few reasons why it was a bad idea. That's why belleville has all the dams in it to begin with....they built half the city on the river's flood plain....my elementry school was built one flood plain....you want to talk about a school full of wet, stinking kids in the spring lol I hope everything works out. Keep us posted. -R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Still time to rush to CTC.. get a submersable and throw it in the sump hole to keep up. Hopefully it doesn't rise much further... but I wouldn't be depending on one sump pump. Good sense of humour thru it all though.. movin all that stuff to the basement. You do have flood coverage on your insurance.. correct. Been an option for some time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoriaRiverMan Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Ill bring home some more pumps in morning after getting coffee First picture that comes to my mind is me and family sitting here watching tv and fishing through holes in living room floor be just like ice fishing............but have tv and nice couch to relax on ok almost ticked myself................. wife thinks im strange to insurance...............should be on there .............shhhhhhhhhhhh gota call in morning ..............already told wife its covered ................. wife didnt find it funny when i asked her if i could tie her to the couch in the basement tonight either told her i was just feeling frisky Edited April 10, 2008 by MoiraRiverMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You gotta take the bad with the good when you live in flood prone areas. We see it every year at this time, people whizzin' and moanin' about being flooded out every year. Here's a hint... move to higher ground... or live on a boat!!!

POLLIWOGG Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I was told they are holding the water back to work on the dams, you might want to call whatever authorities maybe they can help you out. If your the lowest house and they are holding the water back I would think they would want to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Your local consevation authority should have sandbags if you need them, and the municipality should supply you with sand to fill them. I'd be making some calls in the morning. We're gonna get some substantial rain in the next few days. If they keep holding back water, your screwed. I'm not sure who controls the dams there......C.A or Trent severn? One sump pump isn't gonna do squat. I'd go get another one for sure. That's a pretty big risk to be taking. I just had mine quit yesterday, and in a matter of hours I had about an inch of water in half of my basement. I had a spare, but it doesn't help me if I'm not here to turn it on. I've been looking at the 12V back ups, but they don't fit the budget right now..... If I was in that situation, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!!!

Entropy Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I hear ya!! A week ago Tuesday when the melt started, my sump pump was coming on every 2.5 min, went out and bought another pump and a generator. I have not needed either yet but it sure is comforting to know I'll be .... ok. Entropy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Have you thought about going to a rental place and getting a gas powered pump. You don't have to run it all the time but I'm sure it would move more water than an electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
