Finished up the project with the industrial pumps yesterday. Drilled a small hole just above the check valve in both. Thanks for the pro tip @gtluke

Yeup. Can you send people to clean out the drain?!

Oh and you should come play on Sunday.

did you pour some drano down it when it isn't flooded? 😀😀😀
or a couple gallons of muriatic acid - it's cheap enough (masonry supply)

Probably dead rats in the drains, that was my hood in the late 70s. Dat place was common to find dead bodies from gang executions. I'll stop by when I see my dad, he's only a few blocks away. What time you guys play?
 
From my expert inspection I believe its from all the leaves branches garbage (and rats) filling up the hole. It drains but very slowly when it rains a lot. I think it can be unclogged by sticking your arm in the hole (2x2 ft wide 3-4 ft deep) but I don’t want to stick my hand in. I think if it was cleared monthly it should be fine.

We play noon to dark but the actual start time is more like 1pm.
