Water, water everywhere....

Ok, so I ended the last blog telling you about the pipe leak! Thankfully, after many hours of searching, the plumber found the leak and it was not dirty water. When our house was built, the framers nailed into a main water pipe. Almost 4 years later, the nail tip rusted off, and out came the flood! However, since the plumber origionally thought it was a dirty water leak, we called restoration guys in. They ended up cutting off large segments of our drywall to find the leak, and to dry out the walls/ceiling of the basement. (Sigh.)

Cutting out the closet walls (main level)


What the closet/kitchen ceiling looked like after they were done.


Upstairs hall (they cut the hole to see if the leak was from the tub)


Basement ceiling


Stupid little hole in the pipe that caused huge problems.


One fun thing came from all this...Riley got to enjoy the fans (for drying the carpet/inside of the walls). :)
