What to do with a FLOODED home's WORST Disaster?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2024
- This was supposed to be a basement renovation, though turns out it had almost 2 feet of water in it, so we've got different fish to fry.. ( hopefully not caught in the basement )
I think the solution is a fountain with a statue of Uncle Rich spitting out the water!
Man, that sucks the city is having a dispute with you like that... Reminds me of another dispute a man had with his city almost 20 years ago. You should look in your local ads for a Komatsu D355A bulldozer.
I hear those dozers are really good at solving problems…
I love a good killldozer reference
This is the way.
this IS the way!!@@thegodofhellfire
Whistlin might have one he'd loan you
The editing style here is supreme
UK here, same happened to my Dad.. Had his post war house for 30 ish years, never had any damp issues in the cellar, 5 ish years ago the cellar flooded. Had to spend a fortune to tank it, sump pump, get a surface water discharge consent to a water course and spend on testing the water periodically. Local water table has risen about 12"/300mm, so he's fighting mother nature. Have fun
i love that there are people from all over here. UK > US!
ah yes Sundays with Stevon never fail to make me laugh
babe wake up, new stevon lore just dropped!
A secret plunge pool sounds delightful
The Pokémon certified letter 😂😂😂
I've never been so entertained learning about flooding in my life
the last time the town pissed someone off like this he had some heavy equipment armored out...
You should package and sell the water. Use box packaging and call it Boxed Eclectic Water. $5 per pint. Natural spring water. No artificial flavors or colors.
I piped mine into the city sewer after a water main break nearby kept the sump pump running continuously a few years ago. I figure it's their water, so they can have it back. This winter has been the highest water table I've seen in 11 years here. I now have 2 sump pumps in case one fails, and a battery backup in case the grid fails. My finished basement would be under water in an hour without those!
And here I am looking for a house that fits my low income...that's literally my nightmare having to deal with unwanted water...And I wanted a basement to build a storm shelter and a theater....
Good tip checking the towns water table and WHERE it is located as well as the flood plain..
i thought the same thing. would have never looked into this, and it is invaluable information
@@taylorfrederick-os9dl same, I knew about checking for flooding from local rivers but never thought about it coming up from below the house itself! Scary stuff actually!
VERY SPECIFIC CROPS....you know what must be done stevon
They do make a water powered backup sump pump. So as long as you still have water pressure, no electric needed.
it took me until today to realize of course poland springs isn't only coming out of that one spring in Maine. thanks for the constant awareness and hilarity stevon
I llive Germany and have the same problem.
I live right next to the Rhine ( a large river) the water level is high enough to flood my basement when it rains a couple of days.
Besides a drainage pump like you installed. ( mine connects right to the sewage of the house)
I coated the floors to get rid of the dampness in the basement.
The walls where also coated.
Made a huge difference in humidity in the rooms.
The pump is also connected to a smal UPS that usually get sold for PCs on amazon.
It is enough to keep the basement dry when power goes out for some time.
Only downside is that you have when coating the floor and walls is that you have to remove the paint and other materials prior to the coating since the water will sooner or later desolve whats left underneath and the new coating will start to flake of.
Aince that is a huge pain in the # i used a high power pressure washer to remove the old paint and other loose stuff 😂
Also depending on the amount of effort you are willing to do.
You should check if the outside of your basement is properly sealed/ coated with tar.
It should otherwise you will have wet walls even with normal rain
What a mess. I've lived in a basement apartment for over half my life and I've been very fortunate not to have any water ingress over those 30+ years. Not from outdoors, anyway. Leaking water heaters and overflowing bathtubs from the apartments above mine, however... that's been the bane of my existence.
Peanut butter and chocolate is my favorite ice cream. Thanks for asking.
A fine combo in any form
i think you should water crops, very specific crops with that natural gift
I love this channel and its wild directions good on ya stevonn
If the town has problems discharging onto the lawn, discharge into the sewer line in your basement instead. Not legal, but not going to get you fined if nobody sees it. Plus it adds just a little bit more water to a collapsing system so hopefully they upgrade it.
Just a good, quality, French Vanilla ice cream is amazing.
damn that sounds so good right about now
i feel this

This is very accurate.
Make a gravity battery. A ground level water deposit and another in a water tower, use solar power to pump the water up to the tower, then install a hydro turbine to generate electricity when letting water back down to the ground level deposit.
In the lower part of our country we don't have basements. Some do try to build one because the used to have one in a slightly higher part of the country. It's a struggle to get it dry.
Hydroponics farm in your basement. Some high powered lights run off solar of course.
But living on an island that is long, I'm lucky to have a fairly large field behind my house. Luckily only need to use it a couple of times a year.
now i know what to look forward to on my sundays..
welcome to the new sunday funday
ah the flute returned, it was missed, well done

A Koi pond with some kind of fountain statue would be cool. And if there is enough water current how about a watermill.
Nothing beats chocolate and lime ice cream!
Commenting because I know I’m in for a good time, even if it’s not for you!
Solid effing UA-camr. Hope nothing freaky happens
Freaky can be good or bad..
I’m in the state of denial 😂
its time for shenanigans with stevon!
Damn eagles be out here taller than humans
I don't know how much room you have but it would be fun to build a greenhouse, and use the water for aquaponics of some kind, you could have some adorable little fishes and floating flora and fauna all in one temperature controlled space, heck even plant some herbs and spices, or edible grasses, as well as plants to filter the water. It would be complicated but you could plumb a small water heater that would use the water from the aquifer to steam during the winter, or work it like a heater core where the hot water is circulated through a radiator and a fan blows through to heat the air... Idk what I'm talking about but it's an idea none the less. If Uncle Sam would even allow you too.
Oh this certainly has crossed my mind.. but that’s all I can say here…
@@boxeclectic If all else fails, you could always sell your own brand of artesian bottled water... "Eclectic Springs: From the ground, to your mouth. And right back out."

Does paying the state a fee give inspectors xray vision?
will they tax the water use and disposal as well?
im looking forward to the remodel from you after this one
Basement swimming pool for sure!
i always knew poland springs were up to no good
Dang, too much water and you need real ducks there 😜😜
What if he got ducks
@@Iwannagofast1028 let's have them featured on the video instead of the rubber ducky 😜😜
I would love this
Hope you kept that backhoe and dug around your basement to see how it's waterproofed (probably not). that's the real fix.
I'm a simple man. Vanilla ice cream. Preferably in a mug with some rootbeer.
More GSD pleaseeeeee
The S.S. Minnow, James.
please make a water slide for all the animals to enjoy
Pistachio, definitely my favorite. Also, I don't know, dogs are weird. Cute, but weird. 😛
You made my day sir. I learn and laugh
THIS WAS A GOOD VIDEO SIR
Wow... Unfortunately it all sounds VERY $$$$. Mustering ALL my HGTV water proofing experience, you're gonna have to dig on the outside and waterproof there as well as the inside. ORRRRAAHH sell at a loss and MOVE. Good luck to ya though and hope you get a good resolution soon! Thanks for the content, keep that content coming!
germanshep seems more qualified...?
Choco choco chip….. 😂
time for a trout pond
I'd like to see a statue of Rich Rebuilds peeing water. You can charge people to take selfies with it.
thank you for the vital information sir
I say make a moat with a drawbridge
lol at the actual rubber duck skit
This is vital information 🔑🔑
Might I suggest a raccoon waterslide? If you can get them to eat out of your hands, surely you can get them swimwear and build them a mini-waterpark. I would like and subscribe for updates on a raccoon water park second channel
The raccoons are at my home though, I am not certain if I can get them to migrate now that they know where their bread is buttered
@@boxeclectic ❤️ hey man, this is the internets - its totally acceptable to fix it in post, only you’ll know where it’s located, or if the whole raccoon water park and trash pandas are even real or CGI. I’m just here for your awesome content and the some of the best editing & memes on UA-camz. But if ya make it to the ATL at some point, the fizzy drinks are on me.
I don't know of having basement pumps being a thing here in Australia. Doesn't it use a lot of power to be running non stop (Or for a long time)? Is the water coming in the walls or from underneath?
For a second there i thought i was looking at the Thumbnail of one of these indian clickbait / primitive technology videos... What a relief its not 😂
this is why I love Stevens sense of humor, I thought the same thing lol
Why start renovating the prison dungeon in the first place?
More finished square footage will fetch a better yield for renting or selling 💁🏽♀️
so, aluminum cans are just prettier plastic bags
i think hydroponics are in your future young man
That's why the outlet pipe was covered before - then it's just "ground water" naturally draining to the street. But once the end of the pipe is uncovered, now it's "discharge water". Whomever put it in initially was smarter than you think! And you called the city guys there and pointed it out to them? Not smart!
oh theres no way he called them. they definitely showed up because someone complained.
@@LukeDipirro Did you even watch the video? Or do you have comprehension problems?
They did in fact show up on their own to assess, which was not great.
I feel like the UA-cam algorithm finally gets my Ritalin rattled thought noodle. Tossing up random out of order Box Eclectic vids betwixt best of The Voice auditions from the eastern bloc and some Kiwi pulling 50+ year old tractors from the New Zealand jungle and bringing back to life with a 60/40 diesel and used… sorry, “reclaimed” motor oil from a garden sprayer is pure just what I didn’t know I could’ve probably done without. Self hi-five google!
Not to mention the electricity you are paying to pump that water non-stop.
Can someone let me know what he did to find it out his house is on an aquifer?
Looked at the GIS map
Most towns has an interactive GIS map so you can look up these types of details. Extremely handy
A statue sounds amazing...if it was me, I'd just ask myself...What would Bobby Fingers do? Now like and subscribe or Uncle Rich will come for your wife!😱
Plum it to a garden & grow crops ... Better yet, make your front yard a flower garden and get all the retireees to come admire it, then put up "informative signs" detailing your troubles with the city on how they are blaming you: then you can have angry old people fight city hall for you.
Use the water to open a car wash. Or put into a (small) water tower and write FREE WATER and people will come fill up and get rid of the water for you :D
Rubber ducky, you're the one
