Re: Oh No - large water spill on my laminate floor

The hose coming loose from the wall is just awful.  Years ago that happened to me.  I left my house at 8:00 a.m. and got home about 8:00 p.m., and the carpet was soaking wet with water coming out where the hose had been.  No telling how long that had been going on.  I had to call my insurance company, who had someone come out and put fans on the carpet.  In the end it couldn't be saved, and I had to replace my carpet.

 

I hope you got it in time and were able to save your floors.  Thank goodness you were home.

Re: Oh No - large water spill on my laminate floor

Fortunately, my DH , always afraid something like this could happen installed a shut off on the water right where i can easily reach it,and when I'm not using the washer I turn the water off. It could have been much worse if the water was left on. As it was , it was only the water that was in the hose. However, that certainly was a lot of water!

Well, it has been 24 hours since it happened and , knocking on wood, so far everything looks fine.
