Squish Went the Carpet

I went to the bathroom Friday night and the carpet in the hallway squished between my toes. Carpet squishing is never good on any night, let alone on a Friday. I really don't like it when it happens inside my house.

Stacy asked me to get her steam cleaner, and she got up as much water as she could.

I called a local contractor I know Saturday morning and he came right over. He took a look, said he would be back on Monday morning to rip up the floor and find the leak. I also called my insurance agent who directed me to report the leak, which I did.

I borrowed David and Mandy's shop vac on Saturday and vacuumed the area three times a day until Monday when my contractor came back. The area in front of the bathroom, after the carpet and pad were removed.

The nice view from my home office to the laundry room and guest bath. How lovely. A better view of the area in front of the bathroom, after the vanity was pulled. The source of the leak was not here. After more investigation, a leak was discovered at a drain in the master bath.

The master bath after the vanity and double sink were removed. But, after this drain was patched, a pressure test was done. Guess what? A pressure leak was detected back in the guest bath. Oh Joy.

Who would not like a double sink in their living room? Don't be jealous.

So this evening, we have two showers we can use, no sinks in either bathroom, and one functional toilet in the master bath.

It's all good.

Please pray for Stacy, if you know her, you will know why.
