Flood


Flood 14
Originally uploaded by Brazil Bean Brewed
We came home one night to find a very large leak in the ceiling of the back bathroom which then had flooded all of our storage room and kitchen. It was not a fun thing to deal with late at night and then try to get fixed while figuring out how to deal with two kids and cleaning it up. Our upstairs neighbors denied that it was their fault and we were left to figure out what to do next. Then we heard they had called only and hour or two before to say they had a clogged toilet, they were told to call a plumber but decided to fix it themselves. This fix caused a huge hole in the tube right above our bathroom and then preceded to leak into our house. They came on Monday to fix the hole in the tube so it no longer leaks but we still have a very large hole in our ceiling that they will hopefully fix in the next three weeks after everything is dry. Luckily nothing got wrecked but it was quite a bit of work to clean up, in fact we were still cleaning up on Tuesday making sure everything was dried and disinfected. Hopefully, nothing like this happens again in the next few weeks as we have enough to do with a newborn and an almost two year old toddler running around the house. Luckily, the neighbors upstairs realized it was their problem and are fixing it for us and that we do not have to worry about that ourselves.
