The rain/water has overwhelmed my pumps. Not so LOL, but, what the hell? My house is now making the strangest noises and they will no doubt get worse.
I live in a house, a cape cod, circa 1956, built on a cement slab, and, I guess, at that time, it was somewhat common to build the ductwork underneath the house. Not a great idea,m but not much one can do about it now. So, I have a sump pump, one of my pumps, in a cement well, dug and built below the footings that keeps the water out of the ducts, except when, rarely, on occasions, like this, it can’t.
When water gets into the ductwork and the heater/a/c is on, well… the ducts, the house makes crazy noises. Sometimes it sounds like a giant elephant farting, sometimes it sounds like I’m living inside a gigantic washing machine and sometimes, like tonight, it sounds kind of like a cross between fireworks or artillery going off in the distance and the living in a big washing machine thing. If the ductwork goes full washing machine on me I will definitely record on my phone and post it. You really have to hear it. It’s crazy.
