Sub-Zero Parking
They say a picture is worth 10,000 words, but you can’t even begin to imagine this disaster/nightmare. Although you can't see it, this a three story house with two floors above the garage area. The owners left on vacation and didn't take the precaution of turning the washer hose valves off. No problem with Floodchek, But a BIG problem with any other hoses. The hose on the third floor washing machine burst and began flooding the house. The outside temperature was 12 degrees. Minnesota, Yah?
Guess what happened next?
The central heating system shorted out. Without heat to the home's interior, the ruptured hose gushed tens of thousands of gallons began forming a glacier on the third floor, that collapsed onto the second floor. It ran unnoticed for an entire week. Imagine tens of thousands of gallons of water (@8.3ppg!) turning to ice.
This story is legend. They couldn’t rebuild until after the spring thaw. Can you identify the three cars in the garage? That’s one cool Porsche Carrera!
