Made another trip to Charlotte today, to pick up a small truck load of a bed, and a couple dressers. Restoration crew had been there overnight, pumped pretty much continuously with two gasoline powered pumps. Water is more like 4 inches in the basement instead of 4 FEET. Basement is complete disaster. Lots of water flowed across the yard overnight. They stripped the carpeting out of two rooms, had 3 file cabinet sized dehumidifiers going. Unfortunately the portable furnace they brought wasn't working, and boss was headed to Ohio for another. They were using a truck mounted vacuum cleaner to suck the water out of the basement, and had vaced as much water out of the remaining carpets, floors as they could. Condensation on walls/ceilings was diminished. Temps in the house were right around freezing, today with no heat, so I have concerns that dehumidifiers will be of minimal use, until they get the temps up. Unfortunately, with the 4 feet of water in the basement, about everything there is ruined, including water pump, sump pump, water softener, furnace, 2 freezers.
One of the first things the restoration boss checked was the thermostat setting - 62 degrees. Where the water line failed was in the middle of the house, and unlilely that it was result of freezing. He is also going slow, documenting all damage, step by step. So hopefully, things will go OK. Sis-in-law checked the insurance policy, and we have full replacement cost. And this one will cost plenty! But life goes on. Not much use to cry over spilt water!
