So we've been getting a ton of rain lately- Last night I went down stairs to get some blankets for a blanket fort movie night with my boy~ i get to the bottom of the stairs and my feet were automatically soaked with water. NOOOOO!!
Ran back upstairs, called home warranty, it was 11:45pm, filed a claim to have a plumber come out. the lady says a plumber will call you in the morning.
Woke up this morning, hours go by and no call. so i called the plumber they set up from our home warranty- guys says won't be able to get out this weekend. call home warranty back, they said there was only one other option, they set it up with another plumber. I call them and she says "we have one plumber, he's out of town until Sunday evening.
We have amazing neighbors (thank you Anthony and Sarah !) they took Greyson with them to their Son's Birthday Roller Skating Party, and G pretty much hung out there all day.
Back to the basement! With a shop vac loaned to us from our amazing neighbors as well, we started to battle the water. Mind you it started raining again this morning, pouring all day.
Next thing we know, the water starts coming again, and coming faster than we can keep up with. We were out of options, and ready to give up, with no prospect of a plumber coming until Sunday night. Then Danielle and I almost at the same time remembered something. as we were panicking and ready to give up our basement to the God of Rain..
Last year when we purchased this home, the day we closed we had to have a Radon Mitigation system put in by One Day Radon. We remembered they had to do some work with the sump bucket and system when they were installing.
So... in a final, desperate, grasp for help We called Janet Banken our Realtor, she called Louis, the owner of One Day Radon... He was at our home in 30 min, he walked through the door with a new sump pump IN HIS HANDS! Hallelujah! Within an hour Louis had that pump in the bucket and pulling water!!! He then had another gentleman from his crew at the house, they helped us shop vac water, and literally helped us pull up ALL OF THE CARPET AND PAD affected!! The basement is contained!
Louis you saved our butts today!! It's not very often you come across a business and person with 'Passion, Integrity.and someone who overall just cared about our situation. .
ALL OF OUR MINNEAPOLIS AND SURROUNDING AREA FRIENDS AND FAMILY ~ If you or someone you know EVER needs a radon test, or radon mitigation system installed, please consider Louis and Crew at One Day Radon ~ simply amazing... read more
