I quess is time for some type insurance claim . It will pay back at least for
New engine.

Homeowners insurance does not provide for flood damage from the ground up - the water has to come in from above to be coverable - I've been down this road before. Not enough damage to file a FEMA claim.

Great pictures Hussein. If you have a chance I'd spray off the exhaust and rear diff area to avoid any silt sitting there for a while once the water recedes.

Spent an hour removing the layer of silt from the driveway and garage floor
Don't want to bebreathing that when it dries up. Sprayed the undercarriage while I was at it. Also had to remove all the pine sap. Fortunately none of the tree limbs that came down hit the wagon.

Not sure how I'm gonna get the water out of the mufflers....

The X1/9 now has a noisy T/O bearing - the bell housing was half full of water along with the interior.

We got off easy, though , no fire or water damage to the house, unlike quite a few places around us.

Side yard

There is a stream that runs around the perimeter of the property. The runoff from the mountain (which is straight ahead in that street pic) overflows the undersized culverts, floods the stream, then from there it just puts our whole corner property under water.

shallow end...

That's the reason I excavated & created a full basement with concrete underpinnings - that prevents the house from damage - as long as we have power!

Once the power goes out, the water table is so high, the basement fills up from the (3) sump pump wells. That's the reason I bought a generator last year.

The whole neighborhood floods, including the firehouse just up the street. The town has been planning a major retention dam project for years - and it is underway - we now have semi's/construction trucks carting out dirt from 7am-3pm daily whilst they clear the park land at the end of the street for the dam construction. It's due to be completed by Nov.

Took these some time ago - they do actually have part of the retention wall/dam in place - just enough to aid in funneling MORE water into the too small culverts & stream....

Rear mains are a bitch without the Volvo tool to protect the lip as it goes in.

That fuel line bracket looks perfect - that's not going anywhere.

I just JB welded my expansion tank bracket to the strut tower - didn't want to start any corrosion! You'll probably need a little paint on the exterior side of the strut tower in your case, just to be proactive.
