Use Up The Hatch to get water out and focus on the problem ... clogged drainage ... not the issue ... standing water! GREAT for quickly clearing water from anywhere you can't tip a bucket. Get rid of a gallon or more rather than cups of water at a time! Some areas to use would be aquariums, boats, drainage ditches, drainage ditch catch basins, sump pump basins, sinks, toilets, washing machines, and wells.
