The restoration company has been and set up fans and dehumidifiers in the basement. My formerly beautiful rug is off to be dried and professionally cleaned. The basement is total chaos. They will be coming back on Monday to check for the extent of the damage. The biggest worry appears to be whether the water has seeped under the linoleum. If so, the floor in the larger part of the basement may have to be totally replaced. The cabinet under my hutch, where I keep all of the crystal you sent us from Europe, Beth, is damaged and will need repair. David bought both pieces and finished them himself, specially to hold that crystal, many, many years ago.
After they replaced the hot water tank, and turned the water back on, the connections between the water meter, and the water system developed a significant leak. I called the city, and was told that it was our problem--quite nicely, of course. the restoration fellow suggested that we call the company that installed the water heater, as this is sometimes associated with the installation process. So they will be out this afternoon.
And now I get to start the laundry.
