Coming home to a kitchen and dining room full of water was not how I wanted to start my weekend. Nothing breaks on a convenient schedule, and this is what I found on Friday night. Ick.
This was obviously not something I could fix myself, and I was getting pretty close to needing a snorkel or a rowboat. Since Parker & Sons had done some work for me before and there is no additional charge for night or weekend service, I gave them a call. A special thank you to Carolyn for staying on the phone with me as I flailed through the bushes in the dark trying to locate the water shut-off. Let us now have a moment of silence for the beautiful pair of suede pumps that was destroyed in the battle...
As promised, Dennis arrived within the hour. Unfortunately, the issue was not something that could be repaired that night, so he was back bright and early in the morning. I wonder if he sleeps.
He did a great job diagnosing the problem, and developing a solution that did not require tearing up my floor (doesn't anyone build houses with a crawlspace!?). While the repairs required making holes in a few walls (bummer) his work was very neat & clean so the drywall repairs will be super easy. I am happy to say I have precious running water once again, and only in the places it should be!
