I called the sewer district when it was happening. They said "is it still coming in?" I said yes, it is coming in at 100 GPM or so, my estimate. They said stuff a rag in the pipe. I said "what about my shower" Stuff a rag in it. I said "what about the sink and toilet"

They said, "well be right out" 1 hour later and 3 more inches of water in the basement, they show up.

Oh well.

Everything I read says tear the wall out so they can dry. The quote to do that and reapir the walls is alot of money. Initially I felt silly claiming it, but it took 3 weeks for the exposed studs to dry out completely, so I can only imagine what the studs behind the wall will look like. Prolly still sopping wet.
