Thanks everyone.
Hospital wifi blocked bladeforums and trying to load on cell service was taking forever. So thanks for sharing, John
Kamdyn arrived at 10:07 this morning, so my wife got to eat a late lunch. Funny thing is she had dreamed Kamdyn would be born at 10:00, didn't miss it by much.

got home just now, basements flooded (by which i mean our first floor because it's finished and ahs our bedrooms in it) everyone's closed or tells me they can't get to it till monday. furniature, walls, carpet, just got quoted a price that means everything I make for 3 months.
I know I've been sent a unch of stuff to work on for you guys but I might be slow to it. I'm just honestltly feel like I've been gutted. We put a lot fo work into the house and it's all kinda for nothign now.
I'm sure it won't be so bad once it's delt with but I just wnated to lay my head down on my own pillow.
This happened a year or so ago and I thought I'd had it fixed. damage wasn't so abd then because we hadn't done much to the place yet.
I better go before I start really whinning.

Thoughts and prayers are with you. Beyond that I can offer a few suggestions based on years conducting post remediation verification testing (independent 3rd party testing authority verifying the cleanup after water event was properly done).
1) Don't panic. It WILL be ok.
2) Add heat to the space and run the AC. You AC is a giant whole house dehumidifier, take advantage of that. Use enough space heaters to warm the area (80ish) and set the AC low enough to run continuously.
3) Fans are good, get as much air moving as possible.
4) Pull the carpet. Suspend on saw horses, buckets, etc and get air flowing under it. Discard the pad.
5) Depending on how deep the water was: if it was a couple of inches remove the baseboards and cut the bottom inch or two of the drywall off. This will allow the wall cavities to dry and you can replace the baseboards (reuse the ones you took off) without doining any drywall work, because the baseboards will cover the removed drywall. If, however, the water was deeper (a foot or more) cut off the bottom 2 feet of drywall and pull the insulation to facilitate drying of the cavities.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions.
