The flooding came under our freight door, basement is below ground level. The city system filled up and let us have it back...we're sandbagged now and we have folks doing water watch to ensure things hold, I'm just the one incharge of the water watch and didn't have anyone set up for the 11pm shift.
Did you guys use some waterproof caulking?
I would caulk the door from 36" down outside and inside before the sandbags went down. To help seal the water out.
The cost would be about $20 to use calking.
oh shoot, where do you work? our company has several leaks in our building....but we just put out wastebaskets....the landlord wont fix it....as they want to tear the building down anyway!
