Burst Pipes, Disaster History

Bathroom covered with iron sediment after pipe burst emptying hot water tank contents onto bathroom 
 It is amazing how much one broken plastic nut can cause. That is the story with this mess. The plastic nut on the hot water line into the upstairs bathroom faucet caused all of this. So much for plastic nuts, and two story houses.
The pictures tell the story of the resulting damage. Hopefully as time goes on, and the goal here is six months, it will all come back together somehow. I am going to post the distaster photos in all their glory
They will progress from what we found when we returned from vacation to recovery, the photos will tell the story of the deconstruction and reconstruction of the house.


I hope that shortly it will reverse and I will post pictures of the rebuilding. The jury is out on that part. This blog is the story in pictures!

This mess seeped its way from the top of the house to the bottom: the house was gutted as a result of this burst plumbing. Check out my other postings at http://housedamagephotos.blogspot.com/
