Basement flood (again!) 2025

 Unfortunately a very heavy rain caused water to get into our basement again.  This is the 2nd or 3rd time it has happened?

Pretty bad though...2 inches of water got in.  Right before our trip to the Mediterranean - so it was a scramble to get things up and out so a demo crew could come rip out drywall, etc.

Noah with Klunder Homes is our guy - he's incredible and helpful, and got the job demo'ed while we were on our trip, and we're investigating heavily how to avoid this by putting cameras in our drain tile, hiring 2nd and 3rd parties to advise what to do next.

Noteable things: Vanessa noticed it the evening after we finished celebrating David's birthday!  On Wed April 23, we had a lovely dinner/cake celebrating Dave's 49th birthday.  She went to bed and found the water pouring and quickly grabbed Calvin's computer in the basement so it wouldn't get wet.  He did a fist bump to thank her for not letting it get wet.

Here's some pics.







one positive! I found Calvin's lost wallet behind a couch!
