Laketop Living
2010-May-01, Saturday 04:58I had a small lake under my floor for a couple days. Coming out of the bathroom, I heard a loud sloshing sound. At first I thought it was upstairs, but I figured out that it happened when I stepped on or off certain tiles in the hall. Of course, this happened Saturday afternoon, so nobody was in the office.
I finally got to the office buikding Monday afternoon after the rain stopped. A repair guy came out and looked a the water heater and air conditioner. After filling a couple plastic containers with water from the AC, he decided it must be a clogged drain and went outside.
But before he could unclog the drain, he had to find it. This involved three people digging up the bushes until they hit the pipe (or whatever: I couldn't see it from the window). Fortunately, they didn't have to dig up the tree. Then the drain was quickly unclogged and the bushes replanted.
It took another day or so for the sloshing to go away.
