Our Texas county got 60” of rain in a weekend, the levees north of us breached and the storm surge in the gulf south of us didn’t allow it to drain.

The house is part of a fairly extensive residential development from the 1930’s and has a prime location on the block with private driveway and full attic.

Sorry for the dumb question, but does the chrome cover have to be off in order for the overflow drain to work? 

Contractors don't like that either for the inherent fire risk.So unless someone is in the 0.01% financially and really wants to be the cool kid on the block, traditional solar represents a vastly better solution.

We were living in a brownstone on the same block with a similar configuration: 2 family with professional space on the ground level and knew that it has commercial value and profit potential.

Typically sheet metal sides and back and in rural to weak suburban mid-block locations. 

Any advice on estate and foreclosures share the wealth . Please and Thanks

This one is listed almost at the same price as a home on the end of the block of similar size and not in shambles. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/810-Woodlawn-Av...

Hi Rex, And find out if they are going to make you do a new perk test to certify it for use.If they are make sure to have one done yourself first because they retest because soil conditions can change over the years.Meaning you may have to move the drain field somewhere else (if somewhere else is available), or wait until another season to try to get a Perk test that works.Good Luck!
