Went down to the basement to look at something last night. Giant puddle of water under the hot water heater. Oh fuck this ain't good. But we just replaced that 2 years ago so wtf. Turn to leave the room and take a step into some wet carpet. Turn on the light and oh my god there is water everywhere. Turns out the drain tube from the washer got dislodged from the actual drain pipe leaving the house and dumped an entire wash load of water onto the basement carpet.
So at 9pm last night I had the joy of running around town grabbing a dehumidifier from my uncle, steam cleaner from my parents, and a fan and shopvac from my friend. Up until 1am pulling water out of the carpet. So. Much. Fun. Lots of fans and the dehumidifier running all night. Wife went out this morning to home depot to rent a carpet blower. Trying to save the carpet here. Anything else I can do besides fans/dehumidifier? Might call a company to come extract the remaining water.
