dsmith Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I spent the day sucking up gallons of water from my beautiful basement carpet. We made sure no water could come in from outside, but didn't count on having a problem with the waste line. Apparently it is going to cost $6000 to take care of permanently, or we can spend $1500 a year to have it fixed temporarily. Plus, I can't shower, do dishes, flush, or anything yet. And it smells down here. :crying: I just want to crawl under the covers and stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anissa Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 So sorry, Dana. This is a terrible situation. I would want to crawl under the covers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 How awful! We had a catastrophic flood from upstairs leaking through the ceiling into the kitchen below and through the walls -- took eight months and ripping the kitchen to the studs to fix. We haven't paid it off yet, two years later. I had no idea water damage could be quite so horrific as this. Now I am absolutely paranoid about it. All my sympathies...
