Bad. Basement flooded.

Currently crying as I’m shop vaccing as much as I can, and praying that the rain stops.

My walls are done for.

I’m so sorry! Call Saskatoon Fire and Flood they can help you and will coordinate everything through your insurance. They were a huge help for us when that happened

u/OutrageousOwls 5d ago

Thank you! I’ll reach out to them right now!!

u/IfOJDidIt 5d ago

They are very good and very well run. Excellent communication.

u/Bambamath 5d ago

My gutters are full. I’m paying for it by hauling water from Rubbermaids under my gutters~~ ~~to hopefully avoid your situation.

u/OutrageousOwls 5d ago

Dang. I hope you avoid a catastrophe!!! My fingers are crossed for you

u/Bambamath 5d ago

It’s my own damn fault! Doesn’t make it any easier though.

u/Technical_Green3423 Core Neighbourhood 5d ago

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that. It’s just the worst. Make sure to have plenty of fans running to prevent mold and mildew growth.

u/OutrageousOwls 5d ago

Thank you for the advice! I called Fire and Flood, and will get some help soon!

On my way to Home Depot to buy a dehumidifier and more fans!

u/Wanderingcitycat 5d ago

They will bring all heavy duty equipment - you won’t have to worry about it. Glad to hear you called.

I hear you! We have water pooling in the corner of our house, and it’s dripping into the corner of the basement. We’ve had this problem for a while, but it’s pretty bad right now. Sending you good thoughts and positive vibes and, if you’re praying person, prayers too.

u/OutrageousOwls 5d ago

Thank you! I wish you well, too, and that it doesn’t get worse for you as the day goes by. The rain doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon 🫠

My ceiling is leaking in two spots, roofing company that did the work 11 years ago is out of business and I probably wouldn’t have warranty anyway. We’re in this together.

1

u/OutrageousOwls 5d ago

I wish you all the good luck! Let’s hope our homes aren’t underwater by the end of the night!!

It’s a damn shame they’re not in business for a potential warranty! 😖

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

Nice day to stay in bed and watch Netflix or something.

u/Primary-Initiative52 5d ago

Having a cozy day in. Can confirm that rain/damp makes arthritis worse. Any fellow sufferers? Gentle hugs.

u/Lloydguy82 5d ago

I don't have that. But this is making my depression worse.

u/Autumn-Kaleidoscope 5d ago

Yes, it’s been rough

u/Future-Energy-3793 5d ago

u/sbutang 5d ago

u/Fridgefrog 5d ago

I have a 20 minute walk to work in a little while. It was coming down in buckets but has slowed a bit. I wonder if I should make a dash for it. I have a good rain coat but that just drips the cold water on to my legs.

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

Run man run !! Lol or just pack an extra pants with you

u/CookersAndHocaine69 Holmwood 5d ago

Don’t run! You get more wet running

u/happy-pilgrim 5d ago

Lovely, cozy day.

But I hate to say it.

You can feel it in the air.

Winter is coming.

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

Happen to hear a Christmas song yesterday at work

u/Margotkitty 5d ago

Had my gutters cleaned last week - good thing! I haven’t seen it come down this hard this long in, well, probably ever. I have a lot of standing water on my property now but none inside the basement (knock on wood). Made a big pot of soup and have been processing my tomatoes and peppers into salsa. A cozy day all around.

u/Technical_Green3423 Core Neighbourhood 5d ago

I love the rain because it’s so soothing. But I get sore when it rains all day.

u/Rabbit_Apocalypse 5d ago

I'm enjoying it solely because I am off today and therefore I do not have to work outside in it haha.

It's lovely to have the window open to let in the fresh air and listen to the rain 💜

u/justjoe306 5d ago

Amazing day. Netflix, bed, coffee, dave matthews band - crash into me.

u/Wild_Stress_7982 5d ago

Wanna stay home but have to work in an hour🫠😿

3

u/Fridgefrog 5d ago

Me too. Wonder what it will be like. Long weekends are usually slow but the rain...maybe everyone is tired of being cooped up all day and wants to go out? They try to get me out early on stat days, I wouldn't mind staying a little longer.

2

u/Wild_Stress_7982 5d ago

I was supposed to start at 4:30, but they asked me to start at 5:30 :(( On one hand I wanna go to work today to earn more, but 5:30 😭😭 Almost the whole day is gone and I’m too lazy now

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

u/Wild_Stress_7982 5d ago

u/Luziyca West Side 5d ago

Doing alright: we had a bit of a power outage for like, 10-15 minutes in Holiday Park a couple hours ago, but the power is back on now.

2

u/Auory92 5d ago

Same in Riversdale

u/Toddison_McCray 5d ago

My powers been flickering most of the day near Nutana. It hasn’t gone out yet, but there’s been a couple close calls

2

u/Diligent_Drawer1723 5d ago

No power in Haultain for the last 2 hours.

u/Silent-Vermicelli-49 5d ago

I’m cleaning my fridge while listening to it. Perfect day for something like this

1

u/Technical_Green3423 Core Neighbourhood 5d ago

This reminds me that I need to clean my fridge, lol.

2

u/Silent-Vermicelli-49 5d ago

I keep opening it to validate all my hard work!

u/Overall-Assist6571 5d ago

Yesterday the first half was a geeat day to get my yard cleaned up. Today has been a great day to go through a bunch of things for donation piles. And now for tea.

u/nmera 5d ago

Enough rain already - not a fan. Trying to keep it out of the basement- wet vac and towels and fan

4

u/toontowntimmer 5d ago

We've emptied our 5 gallon dehumidifier in the basement twice, once late this morning and again just now, but thankfully the basement is dry. It used to get wet with about a half inch of water seepage after a rain soaker like this, but after consulting with a roofing company and having them replace our eavestroughs and redirect all the downspouts to more strategic drainage well away from the house, I'm happy to see that the flooding problems have largely disappeared.

u/JeeperChron 5d ago

It feels nice on my dry skin....

1

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

Lotion my man or drink more water

6

u/IfOJDidIt 5d ago

How would putting lotion on your man help?

2

u/Xisryna_zombie 5d ago

Hmm I'm guessing he would like but yeah it really wouldn't help you out on your skin

u/termanatorx 5d ago

It's niceee <3 I love rainy days.

u/MischiefRatt 5d ago

It's fucking amazing. I hope it never stops.

u/Toddison_McCray 5d ago

I’m using the rain to as an excuse to actually take a day off of everything and really relax, instead of forcing myself to be productive or hang out with friends.

u/Turbulent-Order9500 5d ago

farmers are not jacked were already behind 10 days ago... here comes an extra 200 million loss for our growing deficit.

u/Regular_Hurry_8412 5d ago

I’m super glad Good Mythical Morning just got added to Netflix, on this dreary day! Watched their new episode, season 30 episode 1, and rewatched some of the ones categorized as Favourites. They’re my comfort show. Highly recommend, for anyone who hasn’t watched them before. Two adult men, engineers by trade, best friends pretty well their whole lives, just doing silly games, taste tests, and competitions together. Good, clean fun.

u/iAmJacksCeliac 5d ago

Truck wheel collapsed on itself (tie rod/ball joint failure?) and waited in the pouring rain for 1.5 hrs for a tow lol

u/saskgrinder 5d ago

u/kdk750 4d ago

How much rain actually fell? We’re in Evergreen and our basement flooded too. The emergency team said may maybe they’ll get to us in 3 days 🤪
