I have a flooding question.

I have 21 inches of water in a 1,150 sq foot basement (25x46).

I would like to know how many gallans that is?

One cu ft = 7.5 gallons

you had 2012.5 cu ft of water so that would be about 15.100 gallons

Each gallon is over eight pounds so that was well over six tons of water

Just t5hink, some people buy the stuff in little bottles for a buck each. That would have made it twelve thousand dollars worth of water!

Excellence is its own reward!
