    Sorry to hear...Hope it dries quickly. IMO your best bet is a shop vac and a few fans. If you can, lift the carpet up along one side and get the fan blowing under the carpet to help dry the padding.

    Dont use any heat really, that could damage it further. wet/dry vac, fans, dehumidifier. Thats my suggestion.

    Ha I had myeslf a slight flood today as well... I've got kind of a rinky dink 29 gal fuge attached to my display. I added a filter sock to the hose coming from my display overflow about a week ago. Today i was sitting in the living room when i head a strange water noise coming from my room. The filer sock must have backed up the overflow line because my display way overflowing allll over my carpet. 600gph from the fuge can make a mess in a big hurry. Thankfully I was home!

    I once thought those tiles wouldn't look good. Have you seem them in person? They are actually quite nice!

    OMG, my boyfriend's been bugging me wanting hardwood floors for more than 5 years now, and I don't want them LOL...especially not since he keeps getting tank water all over the floor now. Where do you find these tiles?
