Brevard homeowner fears structural failure as flooding persists

We are standing inside a basement in Grant Valkyria and just take a look at my feet. You could see how much water is inside the basement and just look around all their stuff here. Unfortunately, as this is under water and it has been since Monday and now the homeowners are worried about the integrity of their house. Brevard County's 1000 year flood, creating cracks in the walls of Greg and Nina Brent's basement. Water literally sprang out of them. It's heartbreaking. Rang out of them. It's heartbreaking. It's a nightmare. The house built in 1958 with a basement, which is not typical for Florida. The Brents say their home is not in a flood zone, but now there's been water in it since Monday. All of a sudden, the water just started coming in. We didn't know where it was coming from because our yard itself was not flooded. And we learned very quickly that it was coming in through the floor and through cracks in the walls, which are new. And was caused by all of the pressure of the water. They've been racing against the rising water, pumping as fast as they can. But the water keeps coming in. We're worried about the health concerns. We're worried about our house collapsing. And today we had... I realized that the lot behind us was still holding water and we put out a call on Facebook if anybody could bring in some heavy equipment to get the water moving away from our house to relieve the pressure on our walls. And the help came pouring in. A friendly neighbor used his excavator to clear the trees and give the water somewhere to go. My heart is just... Full right now with the response that we've had today on this and I couldn't believe I I walked out to the street to go find him to see if he needed a drink or anything and then a guy Starts pulling up with a big piece of heavy equipment. You can see the water is now flowing away from their house. It's a sigh of relief because we're five days past the storm. And if I turn the pumps off, the water was coming up about three inches per hour. The Brents have spoken with several structural engineers. As for what's next, they're taking it day by day. They said that we cannot. Don't suck that basement dry as long as there's water still coming in because of the hydrostatic pressure will make the walls crumble and our house could literally just fall apart. Of course, they have a long way to go and while they are very grateful for the community support, they hope that it continues to come in as they try to navigate what is next.
