We certainly didn't plan to spend the day today tearing the carpet out of the boy's rooms & sucking water from the floor/wall, but that's what's been going on since this morning.
About a week ago, we notice the neighbors 2 houses south pulling out carpet, ugh oh. I knew my friend who lives 1 house south of them had gotten water in their basement, but didn't think anything of it.
2 days ago we noticed our neighbors directly south of us pulling out their carpet.
We started paying closer attention.
This morning we noticed damp carpet in the corner of P's room. Justyn set out to "watch" it, and started the shop vac & fans.
It didn't take long to realize there was more coming in.
So he was gonna just tear out the corner section, then realized it would all have to come out due to the wet spot in the MIDDLE of P's room.
This is how far the water had seeped in from having the vac off for like 2 minutes.
Wherever there is a crack in the flooring the water is seeping in.

We didn't even notice anything in Cayden's room, until we went to set up Prestyn's bed in there & Justyn steped in a wet spot. You could see the line of water following what appeared to be a crack in the flooring. When we pulled up the carpet that was exactly the fact.
The boys get to "bunk" together for awhile, not sure how long our house will be like this, but as of 7:00pm tonight Justyn had dumped out about 24 gallons of water....so it might be a little while.
This is the water heater room, we noticed the wetness on the crack yesterday, but it hasn't come in further than this here.
We are just praising God that we were home & not gone for the weekend. Pretty sure if we had left town we would have came home to a WET basement, not just a couple of rooms. I'm so thankful Justyn was home & off of work too! PRAISE the Lord. He takes care of us through everything!!
