Lab basement fountain! Flood 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Is flood time again at the EEVblog LAB!

Call it a spring and make yourself a bottled water company.

Check the dumpster before it is flooded.

I would call the building management and tell them about it. If it starts damaging stuff then (in Germany at least) call the firefighter emergency hotline, they will come there with pumps to prevent more damage. Seems someone needs to install a backlash valve in the draining system.

Ah put a "wet floor" sign over it and go home, she'll be right.

A genuine Aussie geyser! You could charge tourists to come see it.

It's perfectly normal. In Australia water comes out of the drains.

Interesting new carpark water feature. Maybe you could improve it by adding submersible LED lighting. Nice.

[McTroyd]

Your building management's going to get suspicious with you finding all of these floods. 🤣

That’s a nice hires photo op, garage, no cars, orange and grays, water reflections.

You need the "Drain Addict" in there to get rid of those roots.

Call Olie and Ratty. Blocked drain-no problem

[rfekztjpkrpd]

looks very clean (too clean) for rain water, might be a broken pipe

[nikize]

Don't forget to update us on what happened in the end

[WacKEDmaN]

havent you heard?, basement pools are the new solar roadways!

[MetalheadAndNerd]

That is beautiful! If it's warm you could get an indoor spa.

Collab video with Drain Addict. That's gotta be a trip to see though. Weird!

[Bazzars]

Another classic Live Stream video from Dave! :-)

That is mostly air coming up out of the pipe. I'd say that it is an air lock. A pipe has filled up at one end and the other, while the rest of the pipe is fairly empty. One of the few vents in that pipe is in that car park, so the air is rushing up through that floor drain. It catches and blows back up the water that is trying to flow down that drain.

I once lived near a town on a hill. When it rained heavily, the water from the upper reaches would overwhelm the storm water system, and in the low areas the manhole covers in the middle of the road would blow off under the force of giant geysers. People would just drive around the geysers like it was perfectly normal. When the torrents died down, the city workers would just gather up the manhole covers and put them back on. Problem solved until the next downpour, I guess.

These bloody things are everywhere. They're in the lift, in the lorry, in the bond wizard, and all over the malanga gildachuck.
