Rekin Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Anyone get K.O'd by the huge dumping of rain an hour ago? Our drainage got blocked and flooded whole garage. Was seeping under the concrete of the floor. My room is next to the garage so my wooden floor probably going to be stuffed hehe. We have insurance but still a hassle oh well. Pix!

Swink33 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 pwned! down incline driveways FTL.... unless u have a big ass grated drain at the bottom to redirect the run off water.. I got a down incline driveway. It sucks. I just spent the last 15 minutes removing all my stock parts from the garage floor as it was starting to flood. Mine is so steep i can't park my car in there without scraping the front bar. I even have one of them big ass grated drains too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196099-flooded/#findComment-3510387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Stokesy- Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I was at work all day, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. We had 6 major leaks, and a tram got hit by lightning right outside! on top of that, as whithorse road was flooded there was water simply flowing in the front door... it all make for an exciting day, as none of the stuff getting damaged was mine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196099-flooded/#findComment-3510754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
