I did the same thing as Paul--fortunately, I did it before the first of our
*three* floods, all of which were raw sewage, and all of which happened in the
last 18 months.  That would not have been pleasant, but it would have stopped my

I keep fans blowing around the basement for weeks to keep any dampness from building
