My inlaws have had their basement flood with sewage twice this year because of heavy rainfalls, they had finally just got all the repairs done and the new carpet laid down when the next morning, it all happened again,
I hope everything gets repaired quickly and painlessly, and that your machines are ok those are some nice titles!
Good luck sir!

That really sucks. You have my sympathy! The last time we had a flood the washer spilled three cycles of water from a broken drain pipe. The basement drain was closed (you know, the one that keeps the sewage from coming back UP into your house...). Well my son and I go down and I stick my hand in the water to release the drain (about 4 inches), and look to the side to see extension cords sitting under the water. I never moved my hand so fast, but of course if it were live it would have been too late. What saved me? I had it plugged into a GFI which had blown ... so those suckers really work!
Here check it out, sorry its in french.. east of Montreal...
Just got insurances on the phone, been waiting for 3.5 hours (thx god my set can do hands free) and they will call me back and send a team to help a bit

i was 2 minutes from home on the metropolitan (on the st. michel overpass area) and i was surprised at the killer sized puddles. it was like driving through a beach.. then when i pulled into the driveway, i saw 2 feet of water pushing against the garage door!
luckily, only 2 inches flooded the basement (since my basement is lower than the garage floor) and i only lost a few cardboard boxes.. then again, i find out in the morning if the furniture or gyproc walls are damaged or not
weird thing. my 3 telephone lines are knocked out. yet the dsl on one of the damaged lines is working.. go figure..

that really sucks.. reminds me of the infamous montreal flood of '87. 2 feet and more of water in the basement. during the rebuild, my father made an 18" cement baseboard at the bottom of the walls, so that if any flooding happened. the walls would be safe. After all the flood of '87 was a once every 100 year storm... 6 years later, the city accidentally punctured the main right infront of our driveway.
3 freaking feet of water.
really learnt to curse water after that. and makes me wonder how the double hockey sticks, people can live in the flood plains, year after year.
Bonne chance � toi Azatoth ainsi qu'aux autres qui ont �t� touch�s. Si tu peux, prend-toi une autre semaine de vacances dans 1-2 mois pour oublier les derni�res

Hey man I really feel for you As i lived that last year at least you had clear water. Mine was grey water. And about a foot worth did not realise it right away was working crazy shifts sat for a day went up the 2x4 in the wall insurance desjardin was so slow that after a week i had mold had to demolish basement. They never showed up the dam bastards so I documented all of it and did it myself. I did get the money back np but still not insured till city of gatineau fixes the problem also because of it sold my pins still have none. Hope all goes well.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
That really sucks. I was driving home from Sparky's and was on the 13 north when it all hit. Crazy mess and people all driving with their 4 ways on. Isn't that a big no no?
