Water damage after downpours
MAMAAAAAA you have to come down NOW, there is water pouring down into the living room everywhere! That's how we woke up early in the morning at the end of May with Beertje screaming at our bed. There was a nasty thunderstorm going and I had heard the noise of pouring water but had tried to tune it out and continue to snooze. Now I raced out of my bed with pounding heart. While running down the stairs with Jan in my heels, I assumed first that a window was pourly closed and we had water coming in from there. But no. We arrived in the living room with a shower of water coming through the lamps and the ceiling on a growing wide puddle of water on the wooden floor. What the hell! How? Shit, buckets, mops , electricity off, mop , no take insurance pictures before touching anything, phone the fire department, what to do first! In a chaotic hour, we raced with 5 (there was a helpful little friend in the house from a sleepover) with buckets, all the mop...
