Tried the covering trick, it collects moisture. My main water supply comes in from outside the brick about 6’ away. It’s copper pipe that comes up from the ground and not through the foundation. The water heads up inside the wall to the attic where it’s split from there. If the main pipe is...

So I’ve been in this house about 12yrs now and have always thought something was strange about these spots on the floor on one side of the garage. It was built in 83 and is a brick home, the side of the garage it is on is where the water supply comes up and into the side of the garage. To me...

Well, after getting everything wiped down right away then sprayed down with the atf/diesel. I came back and wire brushed off the surface rust on pliers and mostly my hex/torx sockets. They didn't come out to bad at all. You can see where the rust ate away some of the surface finish on the...

Sold!

Still no updates guys, I'll let you know when I hear something. They have everyone demoing the entire building. Other guys are still cleaning tools after almost 3 days. Mine are soaking at home, I'll be starting to wire brush off the rust Tuesday. Box should be fine, all tore down and...

We are a John Deere dealer, I'm not so upset anymore now that I've configured my losses around 1,000. A co worker of mine is looking at around 8k, he had a lot of electronic stuff, scope, scanner and everything electric, ratchets, impacts and so on. Another bad deal is we are not exactly in a...

Yes a lot was just silt but rust has already embedded in many pieces. I've got everything soaking in diesel/atf mixed 1/3. I'm surprisingly not as bad off as I thought. I'll need to spend a few hours behind a brass wire brush to finish things off.

I'm not the go fund me kind of guy but thank you. I have spent at least 6hrs today at work cleaning and saving my stuff along with helping here and there with the demo at our shop. Word is our employer has flood insurance but directly from the co owner I was told that I needed to take...

Where did you get this insurance? I'm still cleaning guys, real bad situation here. I'll update what I've learned later

The only thing that leaves me to believe a civil suit might go my way is that I signed nothing of that nature stating that my property was not their liability in case of any loss, theft, fire and in this case Mother Nature. I've actually declined job offers based on the theft history brought up...

I did check my homeowners policy and I'm not covered. The business is in a disaster relief area which would allow the business owner to get federal assistance. Not sure how this is going to turn out. I know a lot of my fellow techs have all the cordless snap-on stuff in every size and color...

It's fresh, river water/rain water. I've been told there is oil everywhere and on everything

I've been told we are returning tomorrow to start cleaning up through the weekend to makeup lost time. Boss has already been there to look at everything, i heard it's pretty bad. I'll update tomorrow when if I hear anything about our tools. I have a feeling insurance isn't going to pick this...

Thank you, I will share this with my fellow techs.
