greg775 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Been reading about the rain in Chicago, 9 inch deluge in some parts. Best wishes to you all living there. My ?: I used to sell Jet Dry waterproofing for basements. Did any of you have severe flooding? Any stories of entire homes on the south side or suburbia being totally destroyed? Just wondering if any had horror stories or rescue stories from such a deluge. Best wishes to u all who were affected. I know as a kid on 103rd St and Trumbull area many families were concerned when the clouds opened. Peace to all affected. Will insurance pay for most all damage repair?

Texsox Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 More clues about the mysterious G-man. Roots as a humble waterproofing sales professional. Did you ever feel threatened going into people's basements? Seems scary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still areas of your old stomping grounds that can get backed up but it is almost always the city repairing something and not completing the job properly. There was sewer work down on my block and a neighbor did get his sewer tied in properly and it backed up into his basement. Iftwasa simple main or somethigntht was not opened. We got 5 inches not too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until my parents did the remodel thing down there, we as kids put up a hockey net, used a rubber ball or tennis ball and played full out field hockey down there in our basement. You could take full-out slap shots. We did bust one of those small windows once. I don't think my dad got too mad for some reason. ... I do remember the basement flooding once or twice.
