flooded

So last night Crystal and I were sitting in the living room and we heard a drip drip drip drip sound coming from the kitchen. we went to investigate and the kitchen floor was a puddle. water was coming out from the outlet on the wall, running across the counter and into the floor. Water was coming out from under the refrigerator as well.

then we looked in the dining room and saw that the wall around the outlets was wet, and then we realized that the carpet was wet too. we listened up against the wall and it sounded like a waterfall running down through the wall.


Then we found out that the laundry room had standing water in the floor, and water was visibly running out of the wall.



We called and called and called and finally got a hold of maintenance. She went upstairs and turned the water off in the vacant apartment above us. but while she was gone to do that water started pouring out of the florescent light in our kitchen. we filled a pot with the water (i thought that only happened in movies).


So the maintenance lady told us she would come back in the morning to check on it (she never did). But when we woke up in the morning this is how wet our carpet was. when we would walk to or from our bedroom water would squish up between our toes.


This is what the wall in the dining room looked like last night, the next picture is from this morning. same spot



We have been calling all morning and finally got their contract carpet dryer man (who was already out to these apartments once this week, and was here again with someone else last night... what does that tell you...) he sucked a lot of the water out of the carpet and set up a fan under the carpet and an industrial dehumidifier. he said he'll be back monday to check on them. and supposedly the contract plumber is on the way. what a way to spend the weekend (crystal's birthday weekend, and i have two more big tests on monday and tuesday this week). i'm so stressed out i can't see straight.
