The flooding is actually a combination of several contributing factors, but the main thing is the @#$!& rain! I don't think you understand how much rain water I'm talking here. Torrential for days! At one point, there was at least 5-7 inches of water in my backyard standing against the house.
I was able to get that room cleared out and dried fairly quickly this afternoon, but the water went all the way into that living area and into the hallway. I have only been at it for a couple of hours, and I have extracted well over 30 gallons out of the carpet so far! This sucks/This is great!?! I can't decide which at this point!
And, this was only another small break in the rain. They say the worst is possibly coming tonight!
