Had a hose on the back of the washing machine break and flood the whole laundry room and the living room in a matter of minutes while I was out of the house today. Probably had an inch and a half of standing water. I quickly turned off the water/power, took out all the electronics and all the furniture. Luckily I have a door in my living room that leads right outside to the porch. I was able to get all the water out in less than 10 minutes thanks to the door access. So to make a long story short nothing got damaged or broken and the rooms cleaned up extremely fast. My problem is though I need some advice on fighting any mold/mildew that might come because of the flood. I've already mopped the hardwoods and baseboards 10+ times with a mixture of water and bleach.

 

I'll probably mop it a few more times with the same mixture tomorrow. Should I be doing anything else though?

Did you make sure the dryer snake is gone first?

 

While I was hanging over the back of my washing machine connecting a new hose it popped into my head how awful it would be if another snake was in there with me.

Rent a dehumidifier for best outcome. At minimum keep air moving with fans. Mold needs warmth and humidity to grow, so lower AC temperature. If you want to avoid using chemicals, vinegar kills mold. you can put some in a sprayer and spray around base of walls so it will mix with any water in Sheetrock and behind baseboards. You know I have lots of experience with this,

Or possibly a disgruntled member of a fan forum for a local sports team that had enough. Just a guess of course.

We had a pipe burst in January and the most important thing is to have insurance. Renters or homeowners. We paid our deductible and the experts came in. We had a lot of carpet get wet but they ran fans under it to keep the air moving. A dehumidifier and some fans you should be good.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
