019 Torrential Rain and Flood (19)
Li Sa looked at the door of the clubhouse, there was a casement glass door, there was a door bucket, the outer door was inductive, it would open when there was a wind and grass, and the inside was a glass door that required a card to enter the lobby.
The owner and the property staff have cards, but because of the rain and wind, the induction of the outer door is always triggered by mistake, so now the induction device is turned off, and an external door is manually opened, so that it can be breathable, and the disadvantage is that there is a cleaning to often wipe off the water stains brought in by the wind and rain.
Now a lot of water has been poured into the open sensor door, and the shallow waterproof line of the inner door that swiped the card can no longer be stopped, and a large amount of water has flooded into the lobby.
The design of the clubhouse is to pursue the effect of barrier-free entry and exit, and wheelchairs can enter by themselves, and the height difference between indoor and outdoor is slightly adjusted by a gentle slope of less than ten centimeters. Nowadays, the water is flooding into the room so quickly, either there is too much water or there may be a problem with the drainage system outside the door, and the outside must be dredged in time to completely solve the flood.
Jiang Mei casually threw her bag inside the front desk, arranged for someone to wipe the floor, and she found an iron hook, and was about to go out to clean the drain outside the door with an umbrella. In the past, there were often dead branches and fallen leaves that blocked those delicate stone drainage holes, and if they were opened, the water would definitely be faster.
The other cleaners didn't have such a sense of responsibility as Jiang Mei, so they lowered their heads and wiped the floor alone, and they were still talking and complaining, saying that their things were in the dormitory, and they didn't know if they could apply for compensation. Some people even muttered in a whisper, why Li Sa only took Jiang Mei's things and didn't help everyone get some.
Li Sa secretly smiled bitterly, if she was greedy just now and helped the other people in the dormitory to clean up their things, it is estimated that the whole person would fall into the ground with that building, how could she still have the life to stand here and listen to them complain?
Jiang Mei went out of the main entrance of the club, only to find that the drainage holes outside the door were not blocked, but bubbling up, feeling like a small fountain.
She used the iron hook in her hand to pry open a drainage stone slab, and found that the ditch that had been empty enough to accumulate fallen leaves had long been filled with water. She was very surprised, walked along several drainage ditches around the clubhouse to see that this was the case, and ran to the underground property office to report to Director Li without delay.
When I walked to the basement, I found that there was already water on the basement floor, and there were some pipes dripping down. This means that the drainage system is not smooth as a whole.
The stray dog that Director Li often feeds is sheltering from the rain at the door of the basement, and when he sees people, he barks twice, looking very anxious.
Jiang Mei is from the countryside and has experienced a lot of water, and the dog that the family used to raise was also so restless before the big water, and her ominous premonition was even stronger.
Walking to the basement, she hurriedly grabbed Director Li: "Director, don't stay in the basement, the drainage ditches outside are all water, and the basement corridor is also full of water." The first floor of the clubhouse is flooded, and the height of the threshold on your side can't stop the water from pouring in. ”
Director Li also realized that the problem was very serious, and he had seen such heavy rain for more than ten or twenty years, but he had never seen water coming out of the drainage system. He took his mobile phone and tool kit, took out a large plastic bag, packed two bags of the community engineering drawings file box he had just found, wrapped the whole bag in a poncho, and left the office.
The office was locked, and he closed it tightly when he went out, and when he went up to the basement exit, he saw that there was a stream of water that had passed over the water-blocking stone and flowed into the basement.
He hurriedly opened the flood control material cabinet next to him, got a few sandbags, and put them at the door. The threshold, which was originally less than five centimeters high, became more than twenty centimeters high, and finally temporarily blocked the flow of water pouring into the basement. He closed the escape door to the outside as well, first blocking the rain from being blown into the building by the wind.
As soon as he came out, Director Li clearly felt that unlike the situation when he returned to the office with an umbrella just now, the storm outside was much more violent than just now.
There was water on the permeable brick pavement, which usually keeps it dry even when it rains, and he was wearing leather shoes issued by the property management staff, and the water directly covered the surface of his feet, soaking through his socks. In fact, when he came back from outside just now, his shoes and socks were already wet, and he didn't bother to change them.
Jiang Mei was wearing Oxford non-slip cloth shoes issued by the cleaning department, with slightly higher soles, but they were already soaked, and it was useless to use an umbrella. From the entrance of the basement to the main entrance of the clubhouse, my whole body has been wet by wind and rain all the way.
Jiang Mei led Director Li to personally look at the bubbling drains along the way, and Director Li's brows became tighter and tighter. The two hurried to the monitoring room located on the first floor of the clubhouse.
According to the specifications, the monitoring room is to be built on the first floor, with a separate entrance, although it is part of the first floor of the clubhouse, but the terrain is relatively high, and it takes three steps to reach it. Fortunately, the rain only reached the first step, and the ground of the entire monitoring room was dry, and the water could not come in for a while.
The property staff on duty are very busy, and the monitoring screen is full of red dots for alarms. The drainage of the park and the municipal drainage are connected together, and now there must be a problem with the municipal pipe network, and the drainage wells in the community will reflect the water. However, Director Li and the higher-level departments do not know what the problem is, and this needs to be investigated piece by piece.
Fortunately, there is also a small lake in the entire villa park, and the water from the high places converges along the park roads towards the low-lying lake. The water level of the lake is gradually rising, and in general it is still below the warning line, and it can support it for a while.
The landline on the side of the monitoring room has also been ringing, and when I picked it up, I heard that the basement of which house had been flooded, the pump was useless, and the sofa was floating.
Director Li rolled out the water supply and drainage drawings of the community, but did not find more tips for connecting with the outside world, only the catchment tube wells with several surrounding municipal roads. Those places are generally managed by the municipal department, and the residential properties on both sides of the road do not have the right to open the manhole covers on those municipal roads to check the problem, and the property is completely out of redundant manpower.
Director Li's walkie-talkie rang, and it was the maintenance captain Lao Wang after it was connected.
The danger on the side of the west wall still requires the maintenance team Lao Wang to command everyone to rescue, and saving people is the priority. Li Sa said before that four people entered the building, although the building fell into the crack, but it can still be seen from the ground, lost a long rope down, communication call, if the person is still awake alive, most likely can respond, pull the rope may be able to rescue it.
There were also some employees who grabbed supplies from several other houses that were already crooked. At this time, it is very rare to have a piece of plastic cloth to cover the rain, and many of them have internal plastic packaging at a glance, such as instant noodles and bottled water, although they are placed in a cardboard box, no one cares about covering another layer of plastic sheeting, and they are all found to find a flat place nearby to temporarily stack it in the rain. Anyway, if the carton is broken, there is still plastic packaging inside, and it can't be drenched.
It was only an hour later that Li Sa saw the other employees of the property using battery cars to transport a large number of materials that had been soaked in water, and realized that Shao told a key point: those things that had been drenched in water could no longer be eaten in principle.
Bottled water and ordinary plastic cartons, which are not vacuum-sealed, can easily become contaminated after floods. For example, bottled mineral water or beverages, ordinary people can open them as soon as they twist it, and it is easy for pollutants that cannot be seen by the naked eye to enter the bottle during heavy rains.
In particular, there is a leak of waste from a chemical plant in the vicinity, and the pungent smell of air and rain is permeating. It is likely that these substances will land on the packaging and eventually form contamination.
