Not made in heaven . . .

P&D's Pop got up to soggy carpeting this morning and then I heard doors slamming and the lights went on as he woke me up to flooded floors. The hot water line to the dishwasher had broken during the night. He was brooming  out the kitchen and I used every towel we had to sop up the water but it was useless. As he worked I went on line and found Advanta, a clean up after catastrophe company, and they arrived about an hour later. It is now getting close to noon and they are pulling up the carpeting in the living room and three bedrooms and have suctioned off the water too. It'll be at least three days before it gets dried out with dehumidifiers and fans running 24/7. We will stay with our son once again as the house returns to normal. We do have insurance so that's a plus. I had been working on getting some spots out of the carpets because even after we had them cleaned about a month ago, before we moved in, there were still spots. Well, when the men have completed their job we will have the cleanest carpets and tile in town! They also had to remove the muck boards and some of the sheet rock, close to the floors, as they also got wet. After the house is dried out the insurance will also pay to have all the proper repairs completed. Wow, welcome to your new home! It's okay though because it'll end up better in the end. It sure as hell will be clean.
