Well first downfall for this house is....4 inches of water in the new basment....the "Door" isnt water tight so all that rain we got pretty much dumped water into the whole damn thing...my little 2 gallon shop vac would take FOREVER.......


Anyone mind me borrowing there bigger shop va / pump ??

 

I have the same problem except the water comes in from the drain in the floor. Luckily the water goes back out the way it comes in when the rain subsides. Solved that problem the other day with a drain plug designed for those types of drains.

 

yeah, lowes has one for ya.

 

Probleming being this is going to be a one time problem after the new door is fitted/water sealed......they just had a damn sheet of plywood there and never replace it with anything......and why buy a pump when i am only going to need it once ?

 

I have a little 70gph water pump for an aquarium.

If I were you then I would just put some fish down there and call it a day.

 

I would get whoever "they" is to take care of it. "They" should be held responsible for it.

 

I have one. You still need it?

 

Yes i still need it....and "they" is a mortage company whom i bought it from for 1/2 price of what the orginal owner still owed.....the house is sold "As-is" which means any repairs etc..i have to fix before selling

 

buy a 12gal or bigger shopvac, you will always need one.


i use mine at least once a week.

 

Let me know if you want to come by and get it. I think it's a 12 gallon. Maybe a little smaller. But, should be plenty big enough for what you're doing...
