Wednesday night we got home ready to stay up late to get our stuff ready for the movers to come pack us the next day but instead came home to find our house full of water. Brad could hear water spraying as he opened the front door and stepped into standing water. Water was leaking out the front door. The water line to the ice maker broke for no apparent reason, our latest theory is that when our buyers had the inspection their inspector pulled the frig out and when he pushed it back in the line was touching a coil on the back of the frig. The tubing looks a little melted like it was touching something that melted it. It is unreal that we have lived in this house for 8 years and never had a problem then are gone for a few weeks and complete disaster, what are the odds??? Every room except the back two bed rooms got wet. All the floors have to be replaced, kitchen cabinets, furniture, the walls are wet two feet up, insulation under the house, heating ducts, and there is a lake under our house. On top of that they found asbestos in our walls so the demo alone will cost around $80,000. Right now we are waiting for things to dry and decide what can be saved. We will move later next week then they'll start the asbestos removal process. If we don't lose our buyer they'll get a whole new house. What a disaster! This is nightmare. At least we have good insurance, thank goodness.
Weds night after the clean up people started ripping the carpet out.
Thurs morning, front room already starting to dry.
Ben's room was one of the wettest.
Kids rooms
Our room before all the carpet had been taken out, everything but our closet got wet. Thank goodness because all my shoes were on the floor in the closet.
Kitchen yesterday before all the floor was taken up (all the layers of ancient linoleum hiding underneath) and now the cabinets are out.
