We got new street pavement on our street. WEEEee 😀
When they filled the steam roller, They shut the hydrant down
too quick. It caused a, "pressure hammer" in the water pipes
and popped My pressure protection valve on My hot water
heater.
My house is old and has no drain. It ran for two to three hours.
Putting 2" of water in My rocket room and My Wifes craft room.

Last week. Getting ready for a larger project I am working on. I
changed My room to accomodate the project. Moved many hundreds
of dollars of 'stuff' onto shelves, and into another room. If I had not done that. It would have been a dreadful day.
All the carpet is up. All the water gone.
I managed to get My Wifes room all out before too much damage
happened. She scrap books. So some paper and small items were
damaged. But not much.
Some air-frames gone. MM tubes gone. Two 8" X30" air-frames gone.
Two spare computers probably damaged. 😥 But for the most part
all is well.
We will probably get something from the "Street & Alley" but
it will take some time. The Guy filling the roller admitted He
had done it pretty quick.
I will be running the PP Valve pipe into the washer drain to solve
the problem. If it ever happens again.

MY deep sympathies Mike - just be glad it wasn't the sewage pipe that blew out and backed up into your basement. The 8" airframes will probably be fine if they haven't gotten out of round and you glass them - small consolation I know, but...

Thanks. That is My plan.
Bummer on the water, I have that to worry about in my place too. The basement drain does not work..... The stupid concrete cracked in that spot and broke the drain line.
They paved our culdesac too, then came back with this tarry gravel stuff. It stinks. Kids can't skate on it, I can't drive RC cars, it leaves gravel all over the place.... Oh well.
Sorry to hear that Mike. Make sure you call if you ever need any help in situations like that.
