Lol...reminds me of when I put in a new drainage system at a house I had in Economy Boro. Ran 20' of pipe from the house, the last 10' was perforated, leading to a sump we had dug that was 5' deep and around, lined with filter media and filled with rocks.
First hard rain we had a gyser close to 6' shooting up from the hole. Only happened the one time...guess till the sides of the hole became permeable....but my first thought was...OMG...what did I do wrong. LOL.
