Remember that scene in ET The Extra Terrestrial where the scientists seal off Elliot's home with plastic to avoid alien contamination. Well, we have that. We are getting ready to film scenes from ET 2- Invasion of the moisture monster. Just kidding.
A week ago we discovered a leaking hot water pipe. UNDER our house. Had we not had our hardwoods re-done recently, it might have taken much longer to notice. But all of the sudden, the floor started to cup (curl up), then discolor. When Dave tried to peek under the house he discovered a pond. And soaked insulation. And wet sub floor. And the big M: Mold.
One week later, one plumber later and 2 ServePro dudes who practically live here - we are drying out. We no longer have access to our laundry, downstairs bath, family room, hallway or nook. We have about 10 loud fans and dehumidifiers running 24/7 to dry out the sub floor and under the house.
Thank GOD Grandma lives across the street!
The moral of the story is: Go look under your house!
