I was in complete disarray last yearwhen my pal and I were notified by our local weatherman that my pal and I were going to have extreme storms.
I thought that the storm was going to be just like every storm that my pal and I would get in the midwest.
A mild one with a few inches of rain, an occasional tornado warning and large amounts of lighting and thunder; But not this one. I should have prepared my house much more. I didn’t nail wood to the windows and doors, I didn’t close my storm shutters. I should have put sandbags all around my home. I didn’t guess I needed to install sandbags since my house hasn’t flooded in over 15 years when my pal and I had a major storm. But I was wrong. When I went downstairs into my basement, there was water about 3 feet deep, and the furniture was floating, my floor and walls were ruined and the worst part of it all was that the boiler that was installed just two years ago was submerged in water. Having a boiler in water is a dangerous thing. It’s severely substantial not to attempt to operate the boiler until it has been replaced, but operating a boiler in wet conditions can cause it to catch fire and lead to dire injury like electric shock and potential death. Once I saw my boiler in the condition that it was in, I immediately contacted the local heating and cooling worker. Due to the amount of service calls that the Heating and A/C corporation was experiencing they were not able to get to my house until two afternoons later, but for two afternoons my pal and I didn’t have any heat but my pal and I did not want to risk touching the boiler whatsoever.
