It was contained well.
The problem part was draining the water out of it with the rural finding of having a septic tank - don't want to go draining it into there as the chance of reflux back into the basement floor drains is great. So, it was a complex formula of siphoning science, pressure gradients, hose running, and wet vac aftercleaning. Luckily, I had help - I'm be durn if I was going to PERSONAL go sucking on a garden hose to get a siphon going. Sleeping in water was more appealing than that.
It worked out fine AND it's the last time we'll have to do THAT!!!
