[Parent post: "Kitchen flooded into basement below. Landlord doesn't have someone coming for several days. How do we mitigate damage?"] EDIT: thank you so much everyone for all of your helpful advice! I am a bit stressed and struggling to respond to everything but I appreciate it a ton, thank you His brother in law installed our dishwasher. It managed to flood the entire kitchen (second floor) while we were out last night, and there's a large chunk of the ceiling in the garage that's split and sagging (ground floor) and it poured --- If multiple areas got flooded from above and rained down, it’s really a job for professionals. I wouldn’t trust his family member at all. They aren’t going to know exactly what wall and ceiling cavities to open up to get the drying process perfect.Any fans you have going is barely even a bandaid. Walls/ceilings will have to be cut out/patched/replaced. If any wall to wall carpets are flooded, you need to peel up the carpet. The carpet will be fine but the padding underneath would be a giant sponge filled with water. Mold isn’t that big of a concern at this very moment. Even if it takes 2 days for someone to come out mold isn’t going to suddenly be spreading. But if they miss finding any wet areas, it’s going to be a real concern later on. Really sorry you are going through this :(
