Just lock yourself in the bathroom and masturbate until you fall asleep. Problems solved.

Damn that was funny. +1

True.  Whereas it takes something like this to get Chuggie going.

Any luck Sunmo?

If you dont have any drywall damage, that leaves out a roof issue.
Eventhough your slab house is built above grade, you may have a slab issue, if you were subjected to torrential rain for an extended period of time.

Does this only happen with heavy rains, or is the problem recurring?

[smeags]

yeah, i will go over after work.

the thing that really gets me is that nobody has basements in my area, everything is on slab.

sounds like my area. dO you have concrete around the house ? if so have you checked where the concrete meets the house to see if you have any cracks or seperations ? that could lead to water collecting against the block which will lead to water coming inside.

[SunMo]

so i talked to the azans, and they didn't have any issues.  i checked up in the attic and didn't see any evidence of water, so i don't have a clue what happened.  everything was fine monday and tuesday with all that rain.

the carpet is dry now, but the mildew smell is still lingering, despite my best effort to deodorize and clean the carpet.  i guess i have to bite the bullet and just re-carpet the room, i can't imagine i can splice a piece in.

[smeags]

a carpet guy could, the issue is if your existing carpet has faded you may notice the difference. that would drive me nuts but definitely cheaper than replacing the entire carpet.

rip that part of the carpet out and push your couch up against the wall...problem solved.

farg carpet and tile that shtein up or put some pergo/laminate flooring.

If this mystery leak happens again...you won't be paying for new carpet in the future.

Laminate flooring is farging cheap...you can hire most mexicans to install it for your on the cheap.

P.S.

The Asians are lying to you.

If you would have approached them by saying "I think a pipe burst in my place and flooded my room and wanted to see if there was any damage to your place....I'd be willing to bet they would have shown you their damage". Liars.

Laminate flooring is made from the dead skin of satan. farg that stuff, you have to acid wash your subfloor before starting.

[hbionic]

Acid wash the sub floor? Why? It's on a slab.

Laminate wood floor is an easy install, other than it takes a day.  Just buy the underlayment stuff, and put the floor on top, pretty easy, and relatively cheap.  Problem is, you've never solved your issue, and its gonna happen again.  I'd caulk the shtein out of the wall

[hbionic]

Actually you should say farg worrying about the flooring until you have identified the cause of the leak. It's pointless to put something there when you know its going to happen again.

Once you pull the rug, you should be able to trace the source of the leak. And if you have to, open up the drywall and poke around and check for moisture.
