It came in under the baseboards of our utility room, flooded the utility room, bottom floor landing, into the gameroom along the wall of the utility room and all the way down the wall where the sliding glass doors are. The bottom floor would have been standing in water if it weren't for my parents. They jumped into action and started sucking water out and drying it up as fast as they could. They managed to keep it localized to those three areas and away fromt he pool table, which is amazing and wonderful. We estimated that they sucked up around 100 gallons of water from downstairs. We hired a professional company to come out and suck up the rest, lay anti mold, and replace the carpet padding and dry everything out. It is all back to normal now, with a chunk out of our savings account and a chunk of time out of our work time, but at least the damage was minimal and easy to fix. The clean up crew we hired were very impressed the damage was so minimal...all thanks to my parents quick action and hard work. Thanks Mom and Dad. See pics below.
And this is the pool...filled to the brim and over flowing and brown from all the dirt and crap that the rain water rushed into the pool from the yard. It took some heavy duty cleaning and some shock, but we were able to get the pool back to normal by the next weekend. Bryan did a great job.
