  • Second time is a charm

    So the first time I flooded my room, most of it went in my dresser. This time I was changing water on my 125. Hose slipped out and for about 15 mins was pouring onto my carpet. Before I get to my room I see water in my living room. I have the worst luck with water changes. Not sure how to hose slipped out. I do the same routine.

          How much those wet vacs cost? I'm gonna hire a carpet cleaner to come get it up. Too much for me.

              Too much. We got a little 5 gallon for around $50 I think. If I had it to do over, I'd go bigger, but then you are getting into a lot of money. But still better to have to stop and empty it, than have all the towels laid out soaking up all the water.

                  Sorry to hear about the mishap. Once your pads underneath the carpet are soaked, I'd suggest time for new carpets. The carpet on top will act like an insulator and keep the pads wet for a long time.. Hope all works out for you.
