I posted a damn rubber ducky floating in there. Anyway, current theory is that the back porch slabs have shifted and now tilt towards the house rather than away from it. When it rains, the slabs flood and pool up the water under the house. Water pushes up around bad seals on foundation piers that were added years ago. Well, that's putting it mildly. It was like a water fountain gushing up during the last heavy rain. There are also a couple hairline cracks that have water seepage. Maintenance guy caulked up all the leaks, they glued down some plastic liner, and filled the room with cement to match the height of the other rooms. It's a half assed repair but it'll last while we're living there. Long term solution would involve releveling the back porch and adding gutters to divert the rain into the yard. But, screw that. Griping about paying full rent on a house that's been gimped for FIVE MONTHS this year was also rebuked with stony silence. |

Your landlord is an idiot. But I bet you already knew that. |
