Disaster Recovery?

As previously noted, our water leak was fixed on Monday.

The Disaster Recovery Creation Company arrived on Tuesday.  Their job is to dry everything out and check for mold.  Unfortunately that turned out to be a pretty destructive project.  When I left for work on Tuesday morning, the house had carpeting, laminate flooring, and baseboards all around.

By the time I got home from work on Tuesday, several of our baseboards were removed, there was a dehumidifier in our kitchen, and four green fans blowing air at high speed under the carpet and into our walls.

After letting everything run for 24hrs, the crew returned on Wednesday.  By the time I got home today, most of our laminate flooring was removed.

any laminate flooring that had any moisture in it was trashed

So now most of our floor is bare concrete. The company comes out again tomorrow morning to check (and probably remove) the floor in the laundry room. Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon the fans will all be removed and everything will be dry.  I can live with concrete floors for a while, but these fans are so loud that it's like being in an airplane when you go anywhere downstairs.

The good news is, they didn't find any mold!

Next step is getting a drywall contractor to start patching the walls.
