So we moved everything out of the house and moved to our new home. We came up on a Friday to do a final walk through before our home was sold. We came to this devastation. A hot water pipe had broken in the upstairs laundry room and the water had been running for 4 days.
There are not words or tears that can express how I felt when we walked into this. I had a push broom and broomed water for 4 hours before the crew came to help with the cleanup. Needless to say the house was a disaster and pretty much a total loss. I cried until I couldn't cry any longer and then tried to see the blessings in this trial.
There was water everywhere and water on every surface.
It filled up the heat ducts and poured into the basement.
These are pictures of the downstairs bathroom.
Water, water, water...
I couldn't look any more, my beautiful house, gone.
This is the garage and even water came down the walls and ruined it as well.
It's amazing the devastation that water can do.
Someone could have come in and totally trashed the place and it couldn't have been worse.
After the cleanup, they went right down to the studs.
damage even where the water didn't go, just from the condensation.
The blessing was the new owner got to have a new home when all was said and done.
