So my sump pump has been running for 9 hours now..
I think it is rated at something like 40 GPM.
Figure it may be moving 30 GPM.
9 x 60 = 540
540 minutes at 30 gallons per minute is 16,200 gallons of water!!! And it's still running hard with the sump only 1/2 drained!!!!

That sucks. I've had that happen a few times. PITA!!. A normal spring I will have some water come in certain areas. Always have to get stuff picked up and ready

Evening guys. Randy, that sucks. Common at our old house.

The rain you had yesterday there was from a hurricane that came up from the west side of Mexico and that was the remnants. We also had nearly 10" in NC again today. I'm currently in Galliapolis, OH which is on the WV border tonight. About 7 hours left to go...

Good evening everyone!

Hope you guys dry out soon. We only got about an inch or so, no flooding up here. Was the other way around just over a month ago though. Very strange weather we've had this year...
