I am beside myself !!!! My house flooded today of all days. I threw my back out friday by lifting a case of water. I have suffered through all my son's senior stuff all weekend long. Have not even bothered getting dressed today and about 2 hours ago the hookup to the ho****er under my kitchen sink spewed !!! I have been wading through 3" of water throughout my allmost entire house. UGH !!! It was the hose under my sink !!!! My carpet is drenched. My nephew came over with a wet vac and we tried to get the water up without much luck. I am sure it is ruined....also sure insurance won't cover anything. LOL OH well....thank GOD I am about to remodel my den and kitchen. I just pray that when the carpet dries in my den it won't stink.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GET fans on it to dry it...............try to pull up corners of it to dry out the underpadding...that is where the stinch will sink in....................

try to mitigate your damages as much as possible. It was an "accident" - call your insurance anyway !!! who knows !!

Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Phyllis I have done the wet vac on it....then shampooer and now I have 2 fans....and the ceiling fan going on it. I am praying it dries out soon. I have been told by family that insurance won't cover it due to the fact that it was a hose put in a pipe not good. Oh well....like I said....I was about to replace the flooring anyway. Just don't want it to smell when my son is home for his little bro's graduation plus the fact that he is bringing his GF here with him. Oh well.....this too shall pass.

Thanks July....carpet is STILL pretty went even this AM. UGH !!! Hubby wouldn't do anything. I had to sit in a chair and do the dry vac thing. Soaked up quite a bit of it. Thank GOD it wasn't my entire den that was flooded or I would have just took the corner of the carpet and ripped it out !!! LOL May end up doing that in a couple of weeks anyway especially if it smells. I love you guys so much....wish I could have saw you this past weekend in Galveston.

Vivian, This just has not been your week, just so you know I am thinking of you and hoping that all gets better with your back, if nothing else have your son rip it up and just live on the concrete till you decide what to do, just take care of your back.
Your support group needs you, Don't do anymore let your husband and son take care of it.
Love, Robin

My SON just came home....grabbed his water gun and took off !!! UGH....he needs to MOW THE LAWN !!!! I am NOT going to do that anymore either. I did that a couple of days before the water ordeal. That made my back hurt too. SO glad that I don;t have osteoperous !!!!!

You can rent carpet dryer fans at home depot...they are much more effective than regular house fans...try that out.

Hubby said NO to renting the carpet dryer fans and since my back is out.....there is nothing that I could do about that. Now had my back not been out.....I would have gone and rented it.
Thanks for telling me about them though.....didn't even have a clue anything like that even existed.
