You can see how close it is to the heater, even after the pump has been going for several minutes. Lots of water again! But at least inside the house is dry! What I walked out to this morning. One corner... Another corner And another corner. The deepest part of the yard (of course right by the house!) Fighting mildew down here is a neverending battle.
