Bathroom Flood... Question????
Well I woke up @ 5am. to find one of the toilets (at the other end of the house) running for who knows how long.? I headed down the hall to jiggle the handle and found myself in a swamp. It flooded the bathroom, hallway a bedroom, A closet, the laundryroom and part of a livingroom, Going thru walls etc.
Apparently, The chain on the flushing handle (in the toilet) broke and got caught in the rubber flapper and bingo!!!:banghead: So I scurried to get the Wet Vac and it's accessories to deal with this while Angel called the insurance adjuster and filed a claim. She also called an emergency water removal company to assist. So far, my son and I have vacuumed 24 gallons of water out:eek: and it's still flooded! Oh and I took pictures prior to vacuuming.:thumbsup: Question... Anything else I should do or know about when dealing with sort of thing? Thanks, ~Ray |

Thanks Guys!
:thumbsup: These people have been here for hours now, ripping up carpet, drying floors, ripping off trim etc, etc... This fella has worked with several Ins companies before including ours, and seems to know his business.:thumbsup:
There's apparently lots of damage besides the carpet, including paint, drywall (now wet:hehehe: ) and wall paper.:nonod: On a cool note...He owns a 2005 C6, A4 Red Vette:thumbsup: .So, he can't be all that bad;) . We talked Vettes for like 30 minutes or so. I started mine up so he could hear the Magna's, and informed him of this site and it's awesome peeps:dancer01: . Oh and YES...he now has a flyer to the site:thumbsup: ~Ray |
Man, you sure know how to have fun on a weekend! :eek:

Wow, what a mess! I had a similar thing happen a few years ago but on a much smaller scale...only carpets in bathroom and bedroom ruined. I conveniently use that as an excuse to tile both rooms. :rolleyes:
Hope the rest of your week goes better. :thumbsup: |

My neighbors here in Oviedo were gone for a weeks vacation and while gone a washing machine hose exploded...entire house ruined,water ran for a week untill they got home! Turn off your main shut off valve before you go away for long trips.Most in Fl. found on outside of house where it enters the structure.
