I Had A Wet Dream

[TripleDigitRide]

But it turned out to be nothing more than the hot water heater flooding my apartment.

Nothing like waking up at 3am to a geyser shooting from the A/C closet. Our downstairs neighbor wasn't too happy either.

The maintenance was out in short order to fix the broken water line, but we're still waiting on the carpet company who's supposed to extract the flood waters.

I didn't get into bed until around midnight, so I'm a tired mofo.

hahaha love the title....its one of those..."I shouldnt click on this but...oh heck why not". Sorry to hear about your flood...thats rough.

The carpet cleaning company just left. They extracted what water they could, removed some parpet pad, and left a jet powered fan/blower to dry it the rest of the way.

Those surprises suck, to put it mildly, especially at oh-dark-thirty AM. Though I really hate reading about work when I'm not at work. Tell the carpet cleaning company a fan isn't enough.

Be glad you live in an apartment, really sucks when your "the landlord that is financially responsible for the dwelling" is....you!

Oh, I am thankful that firefox gives a brief description popup when I put my cursor over the thread title!

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

I hovered my cursor near the thread title for a good 15 seconds before I decided that I did want to open the thread.

IE gives description of the thread for me too, otherwise i would have NEVER opened this thread.

Yea, they left the fan, and said they'd come back Monday. They had to cut the carpet and remove some of the wet pad. I was surprised when he just left the fan sitting on top of the carpet. After he left, I lifted the carpet, and set it up so it would blow under the carpet. I figured it would dry faster/better that way.

He spayed the heck out of everything with something that's supposed to help prevent mold and mildew. I have since done the same thing two additional times.

Subfloor, walls, baseboard trim (wood), "some" of wet carpet pad, fan on top of carpeting [doesn't dry subflooring] . . . they know not what they do.
