Freaking, Leaking, and Stinking Home

Last Saturday Tara noticed some small brown spots on the carpet in the corner of our office. I checked it out and thought it looked like mildew or something soaking up from underneath. We pulled the carpet back and the pad was soaked as was the wood flooring. It just recently rained a few days prior. So this sucks! We called Dave Smith and Jason Schouten first because those dudes have skills. They thought it was from the roof. We also called some restoration folks. The first dude was a tool. The second guy from National Restoration was great, but didn't think it was the roof. Anyway we removed some sheet rock from the corner of the office wall and it was really wet, wet as far as they could reach their arms up the wall. They had wall water sensing devices that worked partially. I had them check up in our master bedroom (Tara calls it the room of Passion) and the water device said it was dry. I told them to pop a chunk of wall up there and it was also wet. The Ivory guy came out today and was actually really great. He knew, like Dave Smith and Jason Schouten knew, that it was from the roof. Anyway, I think they will help us out. More to continue.

Looks like Ivory is going to take care of all of it.
