Got up Thursday morning to a half inch of muddy water in the finished basement. The hole in the pipe from the well leaked enough water to come up under the window well and push about 50 gallons of muddy water through the window.
Only down 4 1/2 feet. Luckily neighbor has a backhoe. Got if fixed and thought all was good. No. Service guy said when system lost pressure and then repressurized it stirred up mud and crud in the system and pushed it into the geothermal heat pump and clogged the coil. Can't be cleaned. So looks like i have to replace a $10,000 heat pump. Gosh but don't i feel lucky.
