good morning everyone. lots of rain, lightning and thunder last night. 1/2" rain, 91 lightning strikes. todays forecast was rain 6am to 7pm. now shows 11-6. and 1.65" of it.
Morning Paul!
 
Good morning Paul! Same here, my wife was talking to our neighbor who was on the phone with our township officials because they had water in the basement and they think the drains outside our homes were clogged. I checked our basement and sure enough we had water. Not bad and fortunately in the non finished part of the basement by the furnace and sump. First time that has happened. Good news, I finally got a koi pond that I always wanted in the front yard.
I always wanted a koi pond. get the true Japanese Koi that are domesticated. they will eat right from your hand. Get a butterfly too. Stinks about the water in basement but good that it's easy cleanup. What I had done in the past is the first 3 feet in water run off areas I used heavy black mil then gravel on top to flow some water away. Basement has never been an issue though. get one of those water sensor alarms for washing machines and place it on the floor so you have the early warning. I use one behind the fish tank in where I would expect my leak.
