Woke up to flooded shop this morning

[Mark Saiger]

Cleaning up right now

Brand new about 3 week old water Softener too got soaked!

Filter broke right off!

Hate that!

Storm came through last night... Wife just told me all our phones are out but Cell phones

 

[Mikey P]

Is that an electric sprayer?

 

[Papa John]

Tell the truth! Filter housing broke off because someone turned it righty- looseie-- in steady of leftie- looseie?

 

[J Scott W]

Sorry you had this.

Please, explain how flooding broke a water filter several feet off the floor.

Mark;

We have been using Pentak Filter housings in our RO truckmount water systems.

They have performed well in the trucks.

 

[Cleanworks]

Always sucks when it happens to you but gives you empathy for your customers. I've had it several times in my shop. Teaches you not to leave rugs on the floor

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I thought his pipes froze...

 

[dealtimeman]

Thank goodness it was not winter because there would have been some ice damns right outside the shop.

Look to be either a defective filter housing that some micro defect or somebody over tightened it upon installation.


I saw the same thing happen in a church here locally and the water ran all night and they came into a bunch of stuff floating around as that pet of the church was below grade and nowhere for the water to go.

Do I need to send some dehus up there?????

 

[Old Coastie]

Was that housing crossthreaded?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Hate that for you and yours Mark. It "sucks"! At least you have the means to restore, but who wants to. I'm sure all of us have had something similar happen to us. I have

If pipes freeze in July, I don't think I want to visit Grand Rapids Michigan.

Actually a pressure washing gun I rigged for the van....

But....I did get a Worx Sprayer too....

It's with the boys...but I do like the IPS better I think....smoother

 

[Desk Jockey]

That sucks. Hopefully not a lot damage.

We live off water damage but it sure sucks when it happens to ourselves.

LOL....

You might consider our home in Grand Rapids MINNESOTA....

but if you do go to Grand Rapids Michigan....pick up a couple packages that ended up there again

 

[Mark Saiger]

Nope....just broke right off....Weird....but have seen it happen at peoples houses....

Still have a few air movers and Dehus....

We just turned on some air movers....blowing it dry...

Ran for about 3 hours but went down exterior feed drains mainly....

Just got done playing plumber and installing a new Filter unit....

Water Softener still working but will see if damaged....

Hum. maybe your water pressure is too high. Do you have one of these installed?

Water pressure not very high... But... We were having a storm about the time it broke.

Not sure if we got struck by lightning... No other damage around the place or home...

But kind of coincidence maybe

Hey Mark, so sorry to hear about that! Happened to me 2 years ago. Got a call on a Sunday morning that our store and warehouse was flooded. Ran to the office. Sure enough we were under water. Everything from front to back was sitting in water. The neighbor next to our business had a pipe break in their wall over the weekend and it flooded their office and ours. What an enormous mess. The water damage restoration ensued for weeks. Total pain in the butt! I sure hope it goes better for you. Here are a few pictures of ours...

I sure hope your mess cleans up easier than ours did!!!

 

[Nate The Great]

Damn, did Lockhart poke all those holes?!? Minus well cut it out... We'd do roughly 8"-12", unless it's injectidry type then it's small holes...

Servo-Pro explains it...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Marky, it's time to reorganize the shop and clear out what you don't need.. lol. And where's Pizza boy?!?

Mine wasn't this bad....thankfully...

But I was for some reason thinking about your flood yesterday while pushing water out of ours....

Glad you posted these pics....I couldn't remember how bad yours was....
