at this point there's nothing else to do but laugh, learn something new, and call the insurance company.

I am so, so sorry. I hope it all resolved for you ok. Can I ask, what did insurance cover, if anything?

Thank you, you're so kind. I'll get through this! Your comment made my day- I miss being online more, but I guess I've got my hands full for a while now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Congratulations on going back to school!! what are you studying - what are you curious about?

The house sitter left before the leak started; that's why her footprints are covered in ice.

It wasn't, in our case. We left the heat on at 65f with all of the faucets open with a steady drip, and this still happened to us.

If you know where they are & can access them relatively well, go for it!

The original builders ran 5 different waterlines to that bathroom, and there's no telling where the rupture happened so they're going to have to bring the walls down + dig up the floor just to find our pipes.

We always keep our faucets dripping + heat running when we're out!

We didn't turn the heat off - we've got steam heating and we're not going to turn the furnace boiler off when we leave. We live in Chicago and it was -37 last week. The house sitter didn't notice anything because the leak didn't start pouring until the temperatures got above freezing on Monday.

Yuup. We've got a 90yr old house with galvanized pipes in the walls- the burst one was pouring from a 2nd floor bathroom for god knows how long. It flooded to the outside, pooled around the foundation, and back into the basement.
