    Unhappy When things go bad in the basement............

    I noticed that the water level in my basement toilet was higher than normal last Sunday, tried to work on it.

    Expected to come last Monday after a easy day at work and chill.

    My sump pump went down and got water in several spots in the basement.

    Had to rip up the carpet over a period of days, finally finished this morning. The funk from the wet carpet was bad, never want to go through this mess again.

    Between getting a new sump pump and stuff to clean up the basement was well over $700 in cost.

    Still trying to get things back in order, what a miserable experience. Trying to get work done around a work schedule is very tiresome, what a hectic week.

    Nothing was lost, had to move some things upstairs while I got things in order.

    Now to find the perfect solution to the bad smell, I used some seriously bleach on the concrete floors.

    Should I even put carpet down again?

    Another home experience to remember, what's next?
