Came back from vacation and found out a burst pipe had completely flooded my basement. Total nightmare!😓 For anyone who’s been through this before, is there anything you wish you had done sooner?Any advice or hard-learned lessons would really help. Thanks in advance!

I hope it’s not going to be too expensive to fix. Never turn the heat off in freezing weather, the money you save can easily be wiped out by the cost of repairing water damage.

Just a reminder not to turn the heat off completely. Have it run a few hours a day and keep the temperature steady to prevent mildew and keep pipes from freezing and bursting.
