What do?
>>2874695Get shit you care about to higher ground.
>>2874695I have a couple of heavy duty bags I'm filling with stuff to try and build a wall around my house (my house has a wall around it so I just need to block up the gates)What about drain backflow? Any DIY solutions?
>>2874696Already done thatI don't have any flood defence shit as I'm technically not in a flood area. But I've been given alerts saying I will be flooded imminently.
>>2874697I'm thinking maybe I should block my downstairs toilet with a towel
do low elevation keks really?
>>2874695You should probably leave so you don't die. I guess it depends how bad it's gonna be but you got no idea really.They told a bunch of rich people a 10 ft wide road was going to stop the mountain that just burned from falling on them.
>>2874695Hitch it to your pickup truck and tow it to higher ground.
>>2874695So OP you alive or did you get killed by the looting feds like they do every natural disaster.
>>2875783The government workers loot in the U.S. too? LOL! I thought I was hard done by living in a third world country. Government re-built my house for nothing.
>>2875785I see we've entered the age where it's difficult to tell bot posts from ESL incoherence
I stayed up 24 hours to stop my basement from flooding a year or two ago. I also got drunk and blew the electrical panel out standing in a puddle of water.I managed to built a self vacuuming sump pump out of a pool pump and a 5 gallon shop vac bucket head. The shop vac was slow and pump was fast so it wasn't really viable to leave alone. There wasn't really a low enough spot to puddle, so you couldn't just leave the pool sump, but it was still fast enough that'd it probably cover the whole first room if you weren't actively vacuuming it up.The bare minimum you can get away with is large tote, pool sump pump and a shop vac. I had it elevated, slightly overlapping on the tote, run it until full, open drain plug to fill the tote. Then run the pump every 3-4 vacs full, probably not a bad idea to have a 50+ gallon tote instead.
>>2875785>The government workers loot in the U.S. too?Just guns.
>>2874700Hmm head height will determine pressure, but I'd be tempted to dig the mainline and cut it. Shit covered dry wall sucks but almost any water that gets in will be sewage. Citrus acid can cut lipids like human waste, calcium combined with sewage products creates fat globs/blocks. Cut drywall remove insulation, wood won't soak in hours drywall will insulation will mold get it out before it is too late, if you got spare wood tack it up to prevent racking on internal walls you got serious pressure coming.

>>2876631how bad is it, can you post pics?
>>2876741I stayed up for like 2 days straight monitoring it but managed to prevent water from entering my house. Others near me were not so lucky....My makeshift DIY dams + the walls around my property stopped the water.Unclogging my toilet and drains was the main inconvenience. I went a bit overboard in the panic.I think I will install backflow valves in case this happens again. And buy some proper food defence stuff. I'll also maintain my walls a bit better (they're nice old style stone walls) as I was a bit worried at one point.
>>2876748> no disaster images of shit stuck to walls. that's .... good to hear, anon. glad you're ok.
Dig a trench to divert the water.
>>2876748Glad to hear it anon!
>>2876750>>2876947I'm not glad. I wish it was worse and he could send pics of his destroyed home. This is disappointing
>>2874695>My house is going to flood in a couple of hoursfirst run to your computer or phone and post a stupid question on the internet.second wait for a reply, don't do anything, you might hurt yourself.third wait for my response and follow my instructions exactly.DIE IN A FIRE.
>>2874695What's life like under the sea?
