Quick! What do I do?

House next door is bank owned. No number posted for emergencies.

We can hear water GUSHING inside the walls of the house.

Called the realtor office, no answer. Called the police, they can't do anything.

Do we break a window to turn off the water? Better to have to replace a window than face massive flood damage if you are the bank, right?

Re: Quick! What do I do?

  • I would break in and address it as best you can and call the bank or realtor ASAP.

    ETA: have you called the water company? Can they come shut off?

  • Call the fire dept. They'll break in and shut it off and find a responsible party.

  • I was going to say the fire station too.

    Ugh. Why didn't I think of that?

    I called another realtor in our hood, who grabbed some files with the lockbox code scribbled in his notes from showing the property, and he came over in his jammies and got in. Whew.

    Massive flood of water pouring from pipe and a soaked basement. Oh oh. Poor bank.

  • At least someone came by! That totally sucks but you're a good neighbor for trying to find someone to help.
  • You are a really good neighbor.  I bet a lot of people would not have thought twice about leaving it since the bank owns it. More karma points for Rox: Check!

  • Good for you and that realtor!  See, it pays to be a "noisy" realtor who likes to view houses in their own hood ;)

  • OMG!  That's insane.  You're such a good neighbor (like State Farm Wink).

  • Kudos to the awesome realtor who saved the day - maybe he'll get a listing out of it from the bank. :-)

  • Glad it worked out.  I know I wish someone had called sooner when the same thing happened in my old townhome when it was vacant and for sale.
