Aquadam - its good shite. Works well
The bigger question is: Can it be financed? I'd imagine that's what the idiots who built those homes need to know most.

Maybe if they weren’t so scared to live with a few black people they wouldn’t have to run off to the frickin swamps to live.

You can get it for 30% off if you buy your F-150 and your zero turn lawn mower at the same place. You can finance it all for 120 months.

These people wanted more house than they could afford.
News flash, Terry: you didn't pay attention in school, and now you've got a job selling imitation Hilti hammer parts for your wife's uncle. You don't add enough value to the economy to have a sprawling mcmansion. Some people just have to live in duplexes.

Or just buy one of the many lots available that are not in a swamp. You might still have some street flooding in a 14" rain event, but you probably won't need to dam up your house.

Mom: What did you see on your swamp tour, Timmy?
Timmy: I saw some alligators, a frog, some turtles, and a gaudy A Hayes Town knockoff with 3 bedrooms!

Don't build your house in a fricking swamp
I'm going to educate some mafukkas in here.
There are certainly a whole lot of houses that were literally built in the swamp and rightfully should flood. Shame on those who approved that construction and shame on those who bought it.
There are a whole lot of houses that have been on natural ridges/high spots for hundreds of years. Those places do not naturally flood. Even with the river was doing its own thing they didn't flood. Now they do, because baton rouge had total unbridled development for decades, basically damming in bluff swamp and preventing draining to the amite. Their "plan" was to let it all go to bluff swamp and frick the people there. Now they get pissed when Iberville doesn't allow it. Those people on ridge road are rightfully pissed off and I feel for them. Id build up alligator bayou road 10 feet higher and pump all of the south of bluff swamp into BR if I was them. The people who were here first are the ones getting fricked the hardest and that is a major problem.

What’s inside of that buffer thing in the first pic? Water? Does a tube filled with water keep water out? Honestly asking? I’d think the water would get under it and it would balance out at some point right?
The material of the aqua dam is denser than water.

And 0.00% of those are in bluff swamp.

Why are you so hard up on this?

Those Industrial Rental companies that rent out pumps could probably make serious bank investing in deploying rental aquadams.

This. Expecting us to feel sympathetic is a bit much. That's a risk you take when you buy/build on the low side of Bluff. Not like this was a surprise.

All of ridge road is "in bluff swamp"
Posted on 5/25/21 at 9:16 am to dewster
I'm liking the garages.
Except for that being in a flood zone thing.

Don't build a house in a swamp, and definitely don't do it an expect sympathy when flooding happens. It's not a difficult concept.

I imagine land is pretty cheap in a swamp.
Unfortunately, it is not, at least not in Louisiana.

It's like False River.
It's really just there to confuse really stupid people.
