A couple days ago I noticed water seeping threw a little hole in the linolum(sp?) and called the realator I rent threw she sent someone out and he thought he fixed it but its not gettign any better i wanted to wait a couple days because theres was a LOT of water under there so i laied towls down thinking that it would get most the water up now my carpet in my hallway is soaked and its in my bedroom and my spare bedroom. I called the relator earlyier left a message got no responce back.....called again talked to someone she took down my information and said she'd have someone get back to me still no responce back....I dont know what to do! honestly i cant walk to my bedroom with out putting flipflops on and my dressers getting wet and some other stuff that sits on my floor is getting wet.has anyone had this happen to them??

i would keep calling them till someone comes out to fix it & definitely move your dresser out of the way, you can shut off the water in bathroom, there should be a thing to turn by the toliet(if that is where it is leaking from) but keep calling till they call you back...

I honestly dont think its leaking from the toliet...where ever its leaking from you cant see it so im thinking its in the wall...witch means they will have to tear part of it down...I cant move my dresser by myself its to big....im trying to get a hold of a friend to see if him and a buddy can help or something...

If its making everything that wet and its coming from somewhere in the wall you can't get to you need to find the main shut off water valve outside of the house, where the utility man comes and check your water meter usage each month.  If you can't find it, I would find the emergency after hours number for the water place so they can come and shut it off for you.  Given you won't have any water until someone comes to fix it, it will hopefully save the items in your house from being damaged any further.  Make sure you don't have any electric things or powerstrips on the floor that might get wet cause thats super dangerous with all that water.

yah I went around and picked all that stuff up...the plummer is coming back out in a hour to fix it thankfully hopefully hes able to this time....and I hope someone will clean my carpet its NASTY I put flip flops on to walk to my bathroom or my bed room and it goes squishy squash. and when you walk in the bath room the linoulim moves from the water thats under it.

sorry if i sound whiney its just SUPER anyoing that it took 6hrs to finaly get ahold of someone to take care of this 7 if I count the one hour I have to wait for the plummer....

 

okay apparently it was my washer that was leaking I dont knwo why the plummer that came out the first time ddint check that weird.

Now who wants to help me soak up all this water? just bring towls....Ill feed you lol.
