Water In Vents + Furnace Running = Huge Humidifier






Well, like the title of this post says it's pretty damp in the house. Sadly when our home was built they didn't tie us into the drainage tile at the back of our lot. We are on a slab which now has a crack somewhere in the foundation so the water comes up into our vents. It's too cold not to run the furnace so it's like this huge humidifier. Every window in our house is covered in moisture and it is dripping from our ceilings and down the walls. What's even more scary is that it is suppose to rain again on Friday and we still have at least an inch of water in our vents. Not to mention we can't flush our toilets and showers have to be pretty much under 3 minutes...or until the water starts to flood into the bathroom floor.

The pictures are of the ceiling in my kitchen , above the kitchen cabinets where like all the other walls where it is dripping has run down, the flooring curling up, where the water flooded from our water softener and a sample of just one of my sweaty windows.

Every spring we deal with some water but this is the worst it has been in a couple of years. I think what makes it more painful to me is that we just got done painting every room in the house and putting in new flooring. Which has to be repaired now too. (we forgot to unplug our water softener and it ran a cycle and ended up flooding the area and under my new wood flooring which is even worse now than the picture on this post)I just hope after it dries out and I scrub the ceilings and walls it won't need to be repainted.

Like I told Lee(hubby) I am grateful to have a roof over my head even if it is leaking on me. :0)

Till my next post...
