There are companies that deal with flooded indoor carpets. They have big fans that blow under a carpet to dry it. Not sure if they can deal with the mold, but they could definitely help with getting the floor and carpet dry after you do something to kill the mold. I recall this service not being terribly expensive - they just pull up the edge of the carpet and leave a fan blowing for a couple days.

Happy New Year! Trek, Knot, any special secrets for getting rid of malicious xpitas? I'm having a rough time at home (hiding out having breakfast at an internet cafe atm) and just can *not* wait until I can move out *crossing fingers for tomorrow or Wednesday!*

Kit, no special secrets. Just (((hugs)))).

Sorry that things did not work out with you two. Hopefully you both can heal and move on and maybe talk at some point and come to some kinda resolution.

It's tough going through a break up and still living there, she's still there and the home you made together and the memories and whether you have a small glimmer of hope that you'll get back together or if you never saw her again it would be too soon there's sadness angst etc etc.

But special secrets? Nah. For that just ask my ex, that was about 3 years ago, while my Dad was dying...right before his birthday....I was the "dumpee" not the "dumper", it was awful....but it's ok, everything works out....

PK if you're lurking? I have 3 waaaaaaay better bikes than you. Come to the Cindy with that dusty "off the rack" Mondonico and you'll see a brief glimpse of what the BACK of hand built for me by the man whos name goes on the frame full custom Campy Record looks like, I will politely call out of course and ....

I have a waaaaaay smarter and stronger and hotter and funnier and smarter and .... GF. She's a triathlete! brphftttt

Jennifer, at least the tree was not drinking and driving.

Often you can rent those giant fans, Lowes, Ace, Homelessdespot....

Jen - do you have any carpet scraps? Maybe you could make a patch? KG and Kit's ideas sound good. Getting rid of the pad would probably help a bunch.

Can y'all understand why I am so crazy about this chickie?

And she's so mature, too!

Jen, patching it seems to be the way to go

I'm already happier having left than I was for much of while I was there... I'm sure that already speaks volumes. *sigh* I was the dumper, not the dumpee, but sometimes that's gotta be the way.

Thank you Trek, I needed the laugh.

I'm just glad her tree wasn't dinking and soaking the carpet. Yes, this will be deleted so sensitive folks don't read it and die. oh look, top of the page, too yet!

I am trying Kit's Idea first. And praying it works. If not, we rip the large piece (it is very large) out and I guess we can take carpet from the family room to make a patch and do some throw rug thing in the family room.

I want to cry.

Happy New Year TD!!!

When I had my carpet disaster (sewer back up.... ugh) I called the insurance company. The damage was not enough to warrant a claim due to my high deductilble, but the ins. co. set me up with Service Master - national franchise - to come in and clean the carpet, pad, spray mold inhibiter, dry everything out, and re-stretch the carpet. Price was very reasonable but I can't remember how much I paid - was a long time ago.

I have had them come out since to clean carpets. You can even schedule it all online. Well standard cleaning anyway, maybe for yours you actually have to talk to them on the phone.

Hope it helps. Not the way you want to start out the new year, is it?

Hah! I pulled a Snap on you! Can't delete it now!!!!

(unless you PM me and ask me to, cuz I've been "Snapped" and I understand your pain...)

[salsabike]

Jen, ServiceMaster is really professional. When the basement flooded in Sept. they came out and consulted at no charge. And my insurance agent, an incredibly smart person, recommended them. See what they have to say.
