Just had about 2 gallons of water spill over in my upstairs laundry room and don't know what to do.

As the titles states. Had left some water running for like 15 min and it overflowed. The water seemed to go away from the drain and towards the wall. There it went into my wife closet but right at the wall (there was no water on the floor but the studs were wet.) Downstairs there was a river of water flowing straight out of the light fixture. Hit the breaker, disconnected the light. We soaked everything up, and are using a plain fan in the laundry room and a heated fan in the closet. Wife thinks we have to hire a mold expert to test the wood, floors etc. Trying to tell her it's not necessary but have no way to prove so. submitted by /u/dunkin_dognuts_ [link] [comments]
