Default Re: Wet carpet after Tropical Storm Fay

UPDATE:

Our leak was repaired.* It was located between the two window units (bottom) where the joining window frames were not sufficiently taped/sealed behind the siding.

Two remaining actions by the builder are scheduled for next week:

- Open the drywall to check for mold/mildew
- Replace the tack strip along that wall, replace a section of padding, and clean the carpet.

There is one stain from a rusty chair foot that may not come out.* That part would be cut out and an unstained carpet section would be spliced in.
