What a Mess!!
My washer just over flowed it probably was filling for over a half hour I just had a small load in. I got up from here and went to check it and it was 2 inches deep all down the hallway, running down the registers to the basement I used every towel I had and got the shop vac and had to empty it 5 times I could of just sat in it and cried but I knew I had to get much up as I could I hope nothing is ruined at least it didn't get in my sewing room although it started to run in at the door. Just had to vent a little

One issue I was having in the old apt was mold and mildew, now I'm almost back to where I was. The sheetrock and the insulation could very well mold and mildew because of the dampness.....he is going to make it right, but good grief, now if he has to tear out my ceilings it is going to be a pain in the neck, or other places !
No need to move somewhere else because that is one of those things that just happen ! When I was living in my house my laundry facilities were in the garage.....had been off one day and came home and water was running down the drive way; yep, washer had malfunctioned and flooded garage, but that was not as big a deal as this has been.
My condolences to you !

Oh wow sounds like you had it worse than me. It is pretty much all soaked up but I live in a trailer and I know it is chip or pressed boards on the floor so could have some swelling of that! Time will tell. In the basement it mainly ran onto a water bed so plastic and a hall floor cement so that will dry on its own, I did put buckets under it. I hope I do not get mold or mildew I will run the dehumidifier in the basement for a few days.
And my hall floor is pretty clean now!! LOL

When I was in Property Management that was one of the no-nos for apartments AND condo units...NO washers allowed!! for obvious reasons....

Uggggggg.....At least you got it cleaned up prompto, that helps when it hasn't had time to sit and soak into the wood. Start your portable fans to help circulate the air for about 24 hours, even hike up the heat if you can stand it.
