So this was a while ago, but I was delighted to come home to the sound of rushing water. I thought to myself thats weird, no one lives with me. Open the front door, to see a nice river of water rushing down the stairs into the basement from the bathroom. Apparently the tank decided to crack itself where the supply line enters the tank. Thankfully it all just went in the basement floor drain, so it wasn't to bad.

same thing happened to me, my washing machine water supply hose burst, and i had 3 inches of water in a finished basement. not a good day.
i could hear the water rushing from outside the front door, and it was on full blast too.

no gutted the carpet and flooring under it, and swept the water out the sliding glass door not deep enough to swim in. but i did have wet feet.

Basement floods suck.
De-humidifier on the a/c froze and cracked, put about 2 inches deep on the floor.
But the worst was back at the South Lyon house where we had a well. The pipe that brings the water from the pump to house burst after entering the basement. TONS of water pressure and nothing would stop it except turning off the pump. To top it off, it happened on Christmas eve. So basically Santa was out of coal and decided to take our running water instead.

My mom had some local plumber install a hot water heater. They left, she didn't have any pressure. Called them up and they said that is normal. Couple hours later, same thing, calls them up, oh they are out of town and can check it out tomorrow. Mom calls me to go check it out. I go out to the water meter, and I can hear water pouring out like Goliath taking an explosive piss. Walk past the basement door inside and ye olde faithful was in the basement. The basement had probably 4 ft of water in it. My mom's neighbor came over and we started sumping it out. They show back up... yadda yadda yadda.... come back a few weeks later to check out the furnace. Said that her heat exchange is cracked and looks okay outside of that. For courtesy, they give her 10% off a furnace.

Mom needs a different company. They don't sound like a great company.
