My House Flooded!!!!
Monday, June 16
Two sundays ago, my house was flooded with dirty waters from the 8 families staying above us!!
My mum-in-law and bro-in-law were sleeping in their own bedrooms when the main pipe got stuck with impurities and rubbish and all waters flowing down from the 8 storeys above us filled our house.
You know what is the worst part?? Both of them were still soundly asleep... until one of them gt up and discovered the situation. its too late........................ The waters already flooded the kitchen, the bedrooms and the living room. The house I m staying in is one of those older designs so the floors are not levelled. Therefore, the bedrooms were flooded with at least 1.5 - 2inches of water.
So what did Jason and I see when we were called back home??? A house flooded with dirty, oily water with some (yellow) oil deposits, clumps of hair, etc... Disgusting as you can imagine..
After waiting for hours for the plumber to come, the main pipe was finally cleared after an hour.
The torture then began...
1st - Clear the water by fetching pails of water from bedroom to the toilet
2nd - Use floor mats to absorb puddles of water from all rooms
3rd - Shifting and cleaning all the furniture to ensure no water remains there
4th - Mopping all floors with floor cleaner
5th - Mopping all floors with clean water
6th - Shifting back all furnitures and mopping the floor again
7th - Wash the kitchen
We cleaned until the wee hours in the am.. We suffered soreness in our body the following days..
Poor us!!
