Had a minor house flood today..

Had a hose on the back of the washing machine break and flood the whole laundry room and the living room in a matter of minutes while I was out of the house today. Probably had an inch and a half of standing water. I quickly turned off the water/power, took out all the electronics and all the furniture. Luckily I have a door in my living room that leads right outside to the porch. I was able to get all the water out in less than 10 minutes thanks to the door access. So to make a long story short nothing got damaged or broken and the rooms cleaned up extremely fast. My problem is though I need some advice on fighting any mold/mildew that might come because of the flood. I've already mopped the hardwoods and baseboards 10+ times with a mixture of water and bleach.

 

I'll probably mop it a few more times with the same mixture tomorrow. Should I be doing anything else though?

Did you make sure the dryer snake is gone first?

 

While I was hanging over the back of my washing machine connecting a new hose it popped into my head how awful it would be if another snake was in there with me.

Rent a dehumidifier for best outcome. At minimum keep air moving with fans. Mold needs warmth and humidity to grow, so lower AC temperature. If you want to avoid using chemicals, vinegar kills mold. you can put some in a sprayer and spray around base of walls so it will mix with any water in Sheetrock and behind baseboards. You know I have lots of experience with this,

Or possibly a disgruntled member of a fan forum for a local sports team that had enough. Just a guess of course.

We had a pipe burst in January and the most important thing is to have insurance. Renters or homeowners. We paid our deductible and the experts came in. We had a lot of carpet get wet but they ran fans under it to keep the air moving. A dehumidifier and some fans you should be good.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
