You would think to idiots can bring a machine there and put the bucket into the blast to divert from the house

This is New Jersey you are talking about

Lets see, new house, free hotel while being torn down & rebuilt, new furnishings, new landscape, pain & suffering, yep. The contractor is gonna feel this one as is the city that hired them... 1800 lawsuit!

It wouldn’t surprise me… I’ve heard of that happening before!

I feel for the homeowners, but the waste of water is what really makes me sad.

@jaesanglee5423 5 ай бұрын

Hoping their basement is not flooded, this residential area doesn't look a like equipped with sump pump. And, most likely water bill will be sent to owner of the house or the contractor of the work that was performed.

The water meters are on the home. This will show as system loss.

They’ll end up having that half of the house totally renovated. Sadly I’m sure the insurance companies will take months deciding what’s approved and who’s paying for everything. It’s take us almost 2 months so far just to get a few shingles replaced after a tree fell and a branch hit the roof.

Yep, water was being power injected through the ridge venting, not to mention the water damage to the foundations, that entire half of the house is toast.

My God, I feel awful for these people because as an insurance agent, I can tell you this isn’t covered. The only way these people are covered is if they actually have flood insurance. If they do, they’re good to go, but if they don’t, unfortunately, and this breaks my heart, but they don’t have insurance for this.

Why isn’t someone trying to put a sheet of plywood or something to protect it from going into the ridge vent

@kennethfharkin 5 ай бұрын

1. Too late. 2. Risk of the person being blown off the roof.

Idk why they didn’t try and out something in front of the house. A fire truck or any kind of bug truck to try and protect the home. What my first thought seeing this.

Not one person, in the city named after Thomas Edison, thought to at least redirect it? Really? Couple 3/4" 4x8 boards, screwed into the side of a fleet vehicle of some type. Maybe there's more to it, but from here, it's reminiscent of a Utilities version of Uvalde.

@marilyntaylor223 5 ай бұрын

Is the house owner taking this personally? (It seems a little too directed.)

@redbaboonass4416 5 ай бұрын

Is that 2 homes connected or just 1 home with different paint color?

I’ve never seen a duplex with both sides that look like two completely different houses stuck together!

These are called semi-detached in Ireland, and very common, so you will get loads of variations. Semi-D is just having a single shared centre wall. But front and back gardens are often separated by walls hedges. Its great for saving space and heating, havinf a whole house insulating one wall. You won't see them "mismatched" necessarily, but often a porch or rendering could be different and depending if someone got an extension, the back could be completely different. What is both interesting (and sometimes a pain) is you can't change much on the front of your house without submitting planning permission to make sure you're not doing something too out of range.

Well… The good thing is they won’t have to water their lawn for a while!

How did the contractor manage that???

They didn’t pothole before they shot their missle to place underground communications. I work for the company that hired the contractors I don’t work for the contractors lol. Very unfortunate
