Flooded Apartment - Any Advice?
I need some help and some advice folks...
Last night I came home around 9:30pm to find that water was dripping heavily into my apartment from the apartment above mine. It was practically a steady stream in my kitchen, dining room, bathroom and bedroom. Turns out there was a leak from the washer upstairs, and since its a vacant apartment, no one knew until the water started coming down to my apartment.
The carpet in my dining room, bedroom and hall are completely soaked, if you pull up the pad you can see where the water is puddling underneath. There is also damage to the ceiling and walls were the water was coming in. So far the rental company has had a company come in twice to suck up water and there are several of those blowers in my place. My living room is the only room that is inhabitable, at least to me.
So here's my question: What is the management company obligated to do for me? Right now they are just planning to repaint, and dry and treat the carpet. I'm deathly afraid of getting sick from mold, and I want them to at least replace the carpet completely. Plus, it sucks to sit in my apartment with a bunch of blowers going, I can barely hear myself think, much less watch tv or otherwise entertain myself.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
