Chuck and the Flooded Basement: A Short Story

Chuck was 27 years, 5 months, 6 days and 14 minutes old today as he began to button his new uniform. Looking at himself in the mirror, he could read his name “Chuck” stitched in cursive bright red on top of another stitching that reads “Owner”. Yes, Chuck is the proud owner of his own company called “The Flooded Basement Experts, Inc.”. Indeed, Chuck was proud of his accomplishment and his new found company. As Chuck boarded his company van with all the right equipment in it, he began to recall how he got interested with basement flooding in the first place.

When Chuck was 9 years, 8 months, 3 days and 12 minutes old, their home encountered their first flooded basement. This happened unexpectedly since their home was neither located in a highly precipitated area nor in an area that had a history of flooding from swollen rivers. Their flooded basement was brought about by a single weakened joint among the water pipe installation located in their basement.

The flooded basement that Chuck and his family experienced was not considered severe since the amount of water collected did not create an indoor pool nor did it damage any household items stored in the basement. It did however, made the entire basement floor wet. What made Chuck interested in the flooded basement business was how his father made all the necessary precautions to fix the problem. Chucked saw how cautiously his father made sure that the switch to the main power was turned off before stepping in the flooded basement to move things around to make mopping easier.

Chuck also delighted in the thought that a simple weakened joint of a water pipe can be responsible for basement flooding. He merely surmised that a flooded basement can only happen if there is an upwelling of a river and that there is a natural flood disaster that is taking place in the area. Being a person that is a stickler for details, Chuck started to research on other reasons a basement can become flooded. Chuck found out that things such as high ground water level, wrong sloping of the yard, and wrong orientation of the downspouts can all cause a flooded basement to happen.

At that young age, Chuck was further fascinated with a gadget known as the sump pump that is installed within basement floors to automatically start pumping water out once the water level inside the sump pit reaches a certain height.

Growing up, Chuck’s dad was in the sales business and because of this; their family had to move often to his dad’s new assigned area. Chuck’s fascination with flooded basements and their causes made him the pseudo-expert in basement inspection. Chuck would always make sure that the basement of their new home is water tight and he would ensure this by caulking up the small cracks and holes in the basement walls. Even though he was too small to paint, Chuck made sure that his dad would buy paint that has water sealant properties and would often times supervise other contractors that were hired to renovate the basements of the houses that they moved into.

Now, as Chuck was pulling up the driveway of the house that hired him, he began noticing all the small details of the lawn, the gutters, and the driveway and began assessing them as the possible cause for the flooding. Chuck quickly knew what went wrong and thought to himself. “No problem.”
