We moved to this house in December 2009 after our house fire in August. Since moving in I can no longer count on both hands the times our basement has flooded. From a puddle, to the whole basement. I feel as though I am drowning (no pun intended) with this situation. We have replaced the sump pump twice and even spent $5,000 to put a basement system in with a secondary sump pump. Since having the system put in, our basement smells BAD. It always smells either musty, moldy or just damp.
Today I get a call from my husband, who is in the basement. His voice immediately alterted me that there was a problem, his only words were asking me if I could accompany him to the basement please. Going downstairs I noticed that there was yet again, more water. Not as bad as it could have been, but still, more water to deal with.
I proceeded to call my Mom and sisters to let them know they need to pack up the remainder of their belongings in the basement tomorrow so I can have the company come back out to find out WHY we have more water. Hopefully between all of us, the basement is cleaned up and packed up so this can be figured out.
I know there is nothing I can do, that there wasn't anything I could have done. I am trying very hard not to get too upset, as hard as it is I know it is what is best. I am giving God this house, he can do with it what he will. I just keep praying that He will show us the way and that everything will turn out exactly the way it was supposed to.
I am letting go & letting God.
