Hi all,
I woke up to the sound of "rain" and found my kitchen sink was on and over flowing.
The faucet was over the sink, but I had the galley tank valve closed and it filled up.
Amazingly, I don't think there is any damage.
Is this something that the kitchen area was designed to handle?
The first two things I did was to turn off the faucet and then run outside to open the galley tank valve.
I think that all of the overflowing water drained out of the kitchen slide.
If you are wondering how the faucet was turned on, then I am fairly certain that my cat is responsible.
I need to remember to keep the faucet handle in the cold position so that it is less likely that he will turn it on.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to double check for water that I am not seeing?
The inside of the island is dry.
The flood waters did not go beyond the area between the island and the stove/refrigerator.
I currently have the slide part way in about an inch and have plastic hangers underneath the floor flap for the slide so that the area can dry.
Looking on the outside, I do not see any evidence of water in the holding tank area, but I have not dropped the bottom covering to check.
I have not punctured the basement covering at its low spot so that I can see if any water is trapped.
Do you think that is a good idea?
Thanks for any suggestions!
