A couple days ago we noticed water at the the corner of our garage in the mulched area. It did not go away. We thought maybe a problem with the sprinkler system. They could not come until sometime this coming week. Then water started coming up at the seams in the driveway. Then, yesterday morning after Les left for golf, I discovered a wet spot on the bedroom floor over by the window on that side of the house.
I quickly determined it was nothing spilled or kitty related and threw some old towels down to soak it up. Sadly, the water is still coming. And no one is available to come and search for the problem until tomorrow. I got out the old Hoover carpet shampooer and we have been using that to suck up water.
The thought now is that there is a break in the water line. Our house is built on a slab foundation. This is NOT going to be an easy fix. Our go-to Guy, Steve, called us after seeing a Facebook post that Les made last evening and said fixing could involve digging up at least part of the driveway, the garage floor, and the floor inside. The carpet and padding will be history, new will have to be gotten. I think Steve just didn't want us to be shocked by anything and wanted to give us a heads up about the possibilities. Said to call him if he could help.
We've cancelled the sprinkler system service call, and left a message with our insurance company. I will keep you posted. It's time to go clean up more water.
Stay safe. I would love to say that life is great, but at the moment that might be pushing it. But remember God Bless America!
