leaking water main
Dec. 4th, 2005 01:15 am*growl*
It seems the water main on the outside of the main shutoff value is leaking - at a drip rate, but that's enough still.
This in turn is leaking thru the foundation (at the point where the water line comes into the basement), and a large portion of my living room carpet is very damp (only parts are outright wet, but the carpet is reasonbly thick).
I've cleared almost everything out of the living room, it was tough to find space for it.
The only things remaining are the media centre rack and the sideboard with all of our crockery.
I don't have any more boxes to put stuff into, nor space to put the stuff. (I could maybe pile up one or two more boxes, but I'm pushing the limit already).
The landlord has been to see the leak this evening (around 9pm), and there is a plumber on the way.
May have to shut off the water main outside for tonight, to stop the problem.
The landlord has said she will get in a restoration company with heaters and stuff as soon as the source of the water is stopped, as the carpets are new here.
So I guess I've now made negative progress with unpacking?
