Master Bath Flood
Last night I took my first bath in the master garden tub (you know- the one that holds a shitton of water?). I noticed the water level had gone down about half in 20 minutes but I figured the drain didn't seal well. So I drained the rest and got out, only to realize about the whole tub of water was on the bathroom floor, by way of the cabinets flanking either side of the tub.
Our cabinets are wet, my master carpet is wet, and my H is beyond angry. He cleaned as much as he could with the shop vac, tore off the shoe moulding and kickplates on the cabinets and after I emptied my [full] closet, he lifted the carpet. Only then did we discover the upgraded carpet pad we paid for hadn't been installed. I'm not ready to move to the next step of pulling up the carpet in the other rooms in the house. When that happens they will have a lot more work to do.
For now I'm taking the rest of the day off to wait for the water remediation co. They will determine if the cabinets need to be replaced and make sure everything dries properly.
:::sigh::: This is the third time in less than three years we've had this type of incident. I'm over it.
Re: Master Bath Flood
ohhhh man. I'm so sorry!!!
Hopefully everything dries well without issue. And I'll keep my fingers crossed that the carpet pad was only forgotten in the closet!
good luck.

Totally sucks. We're dealing with a similar issue right now, only it's our master shower. Last year it started leaking and we only noticed when water was coming through the ceiling and landing on the carpet downstairs. DH fixed it, fixed the hole in the ceiling, etc. Last week it started leaking again, in a different spot. Our whole master bath is torn apart, sheetrock down, subfloor out. DH was actually laying between the two floors with his head under where one of the vanity sinks are, to replace some pipes. I couldn't crawl in there, it creeps me out. I'm glad he can do it. Totally sucks. And, we can't blame this on a builder anymore because our house is too old.
I hope the builder cooperates and makes this fix as easy as possible on you guys! Should I bring you a drink, or maybe a Starbucks since it's before noon and everything... I'm right down the road.

Hey thanks for the offer.
I am going to see what junk food I can cram down my throat while I facebook all day and watch crap tv. Because that's what I do when I'm forced to stay at home with nothing else going on.
