Bathroom leak ceiling EMERGENCY!?
Question:SO I TOOK A SHOWER. the faucet head of the shower broke but it was still working so i decided to just hop in. WHEN I came out, i went downstairs and there was MAJOR leakage. and i went down to the garage and there was more leakage. i called a plumber and am waiting for a call back.
so
1. how much would it cost to fix? (esp. today since its july 4)
2. how can i drain the water out of the bathroom under my upstairs bathroom? there is about 3/4 inch of water.
3. how can i drain water out of the carpet besides using towels because there is so much water and not enough towels..
4. What are some good ways to fend off a deadly attack from two parents that are about to kill their child for leaking the bathroom??!?!?!?!?
Answers:
Can't answer the cost question, since I don't know the extent or your area. Figure at least 50% higher because of the holiday. You can get standing water up with a shop-vac or carpet cleaner. As to the parents call them now and ask for their help. If you haven't already turned off the main water shut-off valve, do it now.
call 911 when they come home. But turn off the water now If you don't know were call the city or police they will help you and rember that , acceidents do happens
HAPPY 4th of july
if ti,s just the shower head and not the pipe just shut off the shower head if it,s a tub combo shower just dont pull the plunger up to engage the shower head and it wont leak. then go buy a shower head from home depot or menards and screw it back on. take a shop vac and a mop and soak up the water, use a fan on high to help dry it. if it,s carpet shop vac it and if possible use a rug doctor carpet cleaner machine to help suck up the excess water and use a deoderizer to take the smell out. Again use a fan to help dry it quicker.
Punch a hole in the ceiling to get rid of the water . Turn off the water coming into the house, Look up your insurance policy. Might be a good idea to turn off the electric.
