On Homeowners hope work keeps Clear Lake out of their basement

As I understand, Dry Otter has a special product where the water comes in, but stays beneath a new floor of 1 washed stone then 2water vapor lining then 3 concrete on top. The water (under this new floor) goes into special tracks that funnel it out of the home underground and away from the home. They will have a dry basement floor and walls. The 3 pumps are sunk part way into the floor. This company has a solid warranty for their work and product.

I really hope that these layoffs are temporary. It's so sad to often read that companies are laying off people. Best wishes to all of the families involved!

Read/listen to all of the facts that the media has presented. Micah Andras, from Mass., came to do technical support pro bono. The Dry Otter company is being paid. Also, the home has to be cleaned professionally, they will need a home generator, a dehumidification/heating/cooling system, replacement of furniture/flooring/bedding/clothing and other items that the family lost. The $80,000 to 90,000 total cost seems reasonable. Let's all wish this family good health and happiness! Let's all "not give up hope when facing disaster."

Best of luck to all GM families and friends, whether you are transferred or not. I think everybody should keep them in their thoughts and prayers.
On Couple watch Clear Lake take over their home

The lake is not surrounding their house yet. Their flooding is coming up thru their basement. They haven't asked the lake to be drained. They were looking for solutions to help everyone affected, however, their efforts weren't just for them. There doesn't seem to be enough money to end the flooding of the lake anyway. They can't move the house as it is too big, too old, has some mold issues now. They don't refuse to move. They are good people. They are hoping for a miracle but realize they may not get one. They are hoping for FEMA to give them a final answer or for another agency to give them a final answer so they can end this trajedy and move one. Readers should have compassion.

The house is too old, too big, has mold in undetermined areas(you can't alway see mold and they can see quite a bit)...so moving it or raising it is an expensive gamble that I wouldn't make if I were them. The water table is so high there that filling in the basement part way won't work either- to stop the flooding. Sad situation.
