Emergency House Repair

I didn't get to tour Rochester today but I did learn about what happens when you get water damage in the house.  Remember how Nashville, Tennessee just got flooded so badly and peoples houses were under water?  Well, we had a small flood yesterday. A pipe burst in the wall and the water was on for an hour before anyone noticed.  The rugs in the family room and guest bedroom were full of water.
This is the pipe that burst.
If you click on the picture you can see it up close.

We had to stay home today and clean out the rooms so the carpets could be removed and everything is being dried.  Here I am standing on the dehumidifier and you can see two of the fans in the background.  It's really noisy.  You can see where it's wet and where it didn't get wet.  The fans have to stay on until everything is dry.  Each room has 4 fans and 1 dehumidifier.
