Danmule 2 Posted January 23, 2017 It's been at least 5 years or so since I've seen this run. Rite off my back patio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wintyfresh 46 Posted January 23, 2017 Started out with a 1/4 hp submersible pump. Then added a 1/3 hp submersible pump. Then Tractor Supply was out of submersible pumps, so we added a 208cc semi-trash pump that'll move 18,840gph and trenched to the pickup. The yard's pretty trashed at this point, but it's kept the water away from the foundation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted January 23, 2017 I had to trench and connect my drainage pipes from backyard to front downspouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted January 23, 2017 The storm really ripped me a new one. I will probably have the laborious task of moving many tons of rocks from far away to get a base in the trench so it doesn't go deeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danmule 2 Posted January 23, 2017 In addition to my nice creek, I have 5 downed trees in my yard. Firewood for next year I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted January 24, 2017 Actually my yard looks pretty good this year. But a few years ago after SDG&E did some grading nearby, it looked like a lake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted January 24, 2017 I've pumped my pool 3 times in the last 2 weeks! Hate to see all that water go to waste! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdchronix 0 Posted January 24, 2017 this was my buddy's pool after the last storm. Retaining wall gave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted January 25, 2017 That pool pic is not good! I have a pump I can loan him if needed. Depending how much mud is actually in there he may be able to sink it to the bottom and vacuum without losing all the water. PM me if you have any questions (I'm a pool guy).

He rents the house and the owner pays for the pool service, so he's leaving it all to them haha. Thanks for the offer though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted January 25, 2017 All good. When this happens everybody (HD, Lowes, HF, etc.) sells out on pumps and it can be a pain to try and get a pool pumped. Not good on the plaster either! Glad he has it covered! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
