We were on vacation last week and just got home today around 3pm. One of the first things I did was switch the oil burning hot water heater back on so the wifey could do some laundry and then relax with a bath...
Seems the f@rkin' pressure relief valve stuck open(why it opened I'm not sure yet but that's another story) and it took us probably about an hour to notice.
We have a drain down there but it's on the opposite side of the room so almost *EVERYTHING* is wet. We didn't get more than an inch in any one place but I'd guess a good 75% of the carpet was soaked.
We've been vacuuming for the past hour or so and needed a break so I thought I'd post.
The wifey took a few pictures of everything before I got Shopvac #2 fired up.
Seems like things are going pretty well with us vacuuming and a couple dehumidifiers and fans running. Humidity level is 75% but we actually have a few places where the carpet and under the carpet are drying.
Will post the pictures after I get things more dry. So far it's looking like my Red Baron, Tapper, and Tempest cabaret back doors are swelled pretty bad. Other than that, Crazy Climber has a swelled base. I haven't even looked at the Nintendo row... which is right next to the water heater.
Good luck to all you folks in the path of Irene. I wish you a safe and DRY couple of days!
