The repair itself is a simple fix, too bad you have to go through all the red tape and negotiations for the rest. It sucks needing HOA sign off on everything for sure. I should’ve just paid more and gotten a house and skipped the condo “starter home”. Great investment if I can work through the initial issues though. Right next to SDSU, trolley station and freeway entrance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the heart to go through the process there are surefire ways to get more bang for your buck. If you have a decent leak, I would drag the hose inside and let it go a little bit. Really soak the bases of your cabinets down or whatever. If you have an animal and access to some of its shit, throw the shit into the water thats all over your floor. That turns your clean water loss into a hazard water loss. Thats when they have to replace your belongings instead of just drying everything out. Sometimes there is only so much the restoration company can do. Keep in touch with your project manager and kinda tell him to just give you the word when its time for you to start becoming a pain in the ass to your insurance. Ive seen insurance companies cave in and do what ever just to make problematic customers go away. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sucks big time though. Can you give us some background on discovery? Just leaking from your usage? How many dehumidifiers and air movers you have in there now? What happened in your 1/2 bath? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be careful not to overdo it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a dog that shits in the house and you have a clean water leak, as soon as the water rollls through the poop, it contaminates the water and makes your claim a black water issue whether or not your water still looks clear or looks like a poopy soupy mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 I was trying to reuse that old ass thick boy hand cut lumber but there was a little water damage and the grain is so tight on this old wood, i think my nails were getting bent in the wood itself and not coming out the other side. No wonder they used jesus spikes to hold it all together. Due to the weird sizing of all of this old wood I went out and bought several 2x8s and ripped them down to 6 1/4 inches. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Got tired of trying to figure out where water damage was originating from at work so I took the day off to pour some floor leveler in my master bath. Step one seal up any cracks and prime the subfloor That's it. I'll be back in another hour or so when its dry and its time to start mixing the leveler. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 I dont know about this man. I can still see lap marks in the floor. Hopefully its not as bad as it was and maybe just maybe I'll be able to do some floor leveler over top of the floor leveler... lol I'll guess we'll see what it looks like around 9 tonight. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 It's all good @KILZ FILLZim gonna level it by hand tomorrow with floor patch. I should have just done that in the first place. I always let some one talk me into floor leveler every time even though I know Ive never been successful with it. That being said, this was the most successful floor leveler session Ive ever had.😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KRYLON2~ Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I thought my washer was clogged up and thats why it wouldn't pump out the dirty water. After siphoning out all the trash water (tastes like malort) I started digging into this POS. Ended up being a broken connection on the water pump. But what a fuckin mess. Glad it's over with 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 @~KRYLON2~thats crazy man. I feel like I would never in a million years be able to diagnose appliance problems. I learned all of my appliance repair work from my grandpap which was basically just slappin the side of it and calling it dirty names. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 @~KRYLON2~ different issue but was there today with a washer myself. Running it on its clean cycle or run it with bleach and the smell should be gone. @mr.yuck I never knew much about appliances but have found that most times what is needed can be found in the owner's manual, online from the manufacturer, or youtube. Or as you noted, a swift slap or kick often does the trick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
