Had a minor house flood today..

Recommended Posts

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
