He Saved His Restaurant By Flooding It 😬
He Saved His Restaurant By Flooding It 😬
On April 6, 2025, at Captain’s Quarters Riverside Grille in Prospect, Kentucky, United States, co-owner Andrew Masterson and the restaurant staff prepared for Ohio River flooding by filling the building with fresh water. The case was reported by local and national outlets after Masterson posted video from inside the flooded restaurant.
As floodwater rose outside, the team used sinks, faucets, and a well pump to put roughly six feet of clean water inside the building. The goal was to equalize pressure and keep dirty river water, mud, and debris from entering first. After the flood passed, the clean water could be pumped out instead of leaving the restaurant packed with river mud.
The result was still a business interruption, but public reporting said the method helped reduce cleanup work and could save thousands of dollars in cleanup costs and repairs. The event is unusual because the owner intentionally flooded the property to limit the damage from a worse flood.
This video explores how controlled flooding can reduce mud damage during a river flood for educational purposes. The explanation is based on public reporting, flood response coverage, and basic pressure equalization principles.

Yes but it was empty no tables no chairs and empty kitchen no Ofen
Water bill?
Save thousands of dollars. How about the bill of the water they used ha ha.
Obviously not a flash flood
Regardless of why you flooded the restaurant, insurance is not going to pay for the damage. You intentionally flooded your own place and now you are going to have to pay for all the damage yourself.
