Water. water everywhere....

[Brenda Starrr]

At 2:00a.m., we had water streaming into our master bath while the jerks upstairs were showering (at 2:00a.m.!!). It happened again at around 10 this morning. Now, I just went into my bedroom, only to find that it's leaking through my bedroom ceiling!! I am so pissed!!!

I can't wait to move into a 3rd floor apt.!!

dry the water damaged materials ASAP, unless you really do like breathing in mold! And have your landlord fix it ASAP

[Brenda Starrr]

I'm on it. They just better get here soon. If I have to get my doc to write a note about all of my allergies, so be it.

[TomCat]

That works too, if good old fashioned violence wont get it done!

[Brenda Starrr]

This is just so messed up. I'm really angry. I also have asthma. This needs to be taken care of immediately.

air movement. put as many fans in the wet areas as you can. air movment can prevent mold from forming and dry an area faster. make sure the LL gets a company that will properly extract, dry out an dissinfect the flooded areas.

anything thats wet for more than 24 hours is at high risk for molding.

Paradox has done some homework. Kudos

*stomps feet*

There's fucking water coming out of my bedroom ceiling!!!

:doh:

[TomCat]

LOL! It's not quite THAT bad...I'm an environmental consultant...and I have many corporate and municipal clients (Counties, cities, townships). If they get to the point where the mold in their buildings get to be a problem, & it hits the media...I'm gone. Bad press=unemployment in my biz.

fans!

towels!

scream at landlord!

wash the walls/ceiling with bleach water when its done dripping (but not the carpet!).

call a flood restoration company and bill the land lord. that ll get his attention.

no one is there yet?

[Brenda Starrr]

They just left. They poked holes in my ceiling to let the water out. My husband's Godfather (who's also the property manager) is coming tomorrow to survey the damage and call the contractor. It pays to have family here.

[paradox]

cool.

dont forget the fans.
