wet/dry vacuum

Nice indoor pool!

Sump pump to get rid of water by the gallon. for the soggy carpets towels can work. Soak and wring em out down a drain. And finally, disaster cleanup workers usually bring in big heaters/blowers and run em all day until everything's evaporated.

Pump out the water any way you can. When you can't get any more out with a pump, use towels to soak up as much as you can. Once you've done that, put some heaters on the carpet asap.

If you have a wooden floor and it begins to rot or warp, you're in for some serious money to fix it.

Happened a few times to me, use a chopping boards to push the water out/towards a drain and you'll get a large majority of it.

What kind of climate do you live in?

Umm, this far and no "turn off the water"?

So yeah, turn off the water.

I think there was an assumption they don't have some form of mild down syndrome.

also, about to try that chopping board trick.

we went out and bought a shop vac that's working okay. and the kitchen is pretty much dry.

i also bought some borax for the carpet because i heard that's good for preventing mold.

That'll pretty much have you sorted, just keep on it until it's absolutely as dry as you can get it to avoid the mold/smell

Last time I fucked up and flooded my kitchen I used all our towels, then when they were soaked, threw them in the washer and gave it a spin until they were merely damn. Repeated till it was fixed.

Turn on every fan in the house and bring in more fans.

If carpet is wet, even if it looks and feels dry, the carpet padding underneath may not be. Pry up a few corners of the carpet and put fans under there to dry it out. That is what the Servpro guys did back when our old house flooded. Also if you can get ahold of some desiccant strategically place that around too.

Trolled hard.

This,
also if you can roll the carpets up and remove them from the room entirely without destroying them that would be helpful, the padding might not be salvageable depending on how it was installed. Either way get to bare floor as soon as possible and get the floors dry as soon as possible, then work your way through the layers, if the padding is salvageable then make sure it's dry before relaying it, same for the carpet. Sorry you flooded. Best of luck!

Make sure it's not in your walls. You might want to pop out any trim and pop some holes in the drywall (assuming your walls are drywall) and let that air out too. Especially if there is insulation that got wet between the walls... that will cause some serious mold in the years to come and can have some seriously negative health effects.

Just get a drill (unless you're really good with a hammer) and put some ventilation holes at least 1/2" diameter in the drywall behind the trim so they're covered when you replace it.

I am seriously disappoint in all of you that think this is real.

You Kids are stupid for thinking the pic that OP used was meant to be his situation. I'm sure it's just a semi-relates subject picture. Kids.

idk why people thought i was trolling.

thanks for all the advice guys. the top layer just feels like cats peed on it right now, we've been blasting fans on it all night and i guess ill have to pull up a patch to check on the foam and everything.

this was our main concern, a few base boards might have been compromised but as long as we don't get mold ill be fine.
