Nothing would surprise me these days...
Seems like your apartment gets a lot of them
Heavy but definitely needed, thank you for doing what you can to help. It is a crisis and people still avoid talking about it. Hugs to you and everyone else who has been touched by suicide.
Good on you. Suicide is very difficult to deal with.
Take pictures of everything! I hope it doesn't get into the rest of your apartment!Nothing like a water leak in your bathroom first thing in the morning.....
Very weird. Parts of two bath mats were wet, plus a spot between the toilet and cabinet. But I couldn't find where it was coming from. Toilet not leaking, sink not leaking, ceiling not leaking, nothing in the cabinets was leaking. Finally realized water seemed to be coming up through the floor because as soon as I wiped it up, more appeared.
Called apartment maintenance. They came and looked, said it didn't appear to be coming from anything in my apartment. They said the neighbors next door are moving out today, they are going to see if there's an issue over there.
It's either that or my apartment is about to be swallowed by a sinkhole, I guess.
Edit: they are now going up to second floor, yelling "maintenance!" so apparently it's not coming from the next door neighbor.
And now, the sounds of drilling LOL this one must be a doozy
They are indeed. The damage water causes is costly and often you can't see it untill it is too late
Better than my Saturday night....the main drain to the septic plugged. There is a weird junction of pipes where stuff can catch...I will spare the details of what kind of water was coming out in the basement, and what I found in the pipe....in a nutshell, all the water has to be drained out of the pipe....set up a garbage can in the basement with a sump pump and a hose to pump it outside ....at least I saved an emergency plumbing fee which I'm sure would have been at least $500Nothing like a water leak in your bathroom first thing in the morning.....

I'd like to change my answer to the Monday 1
I have alot of horror stories from when I was part of the maintenance crew for a solar company 8-9 years ago.
I lost almost everything when a 75 gallon hot water tank went in the apartment above me in the middle of the day when no one was home. It was brutal. Insurance was a lifesaver but I know my complex cheaped out on the repairs. One look at the ceiling and you know they didn't mud the seams in the drywall. There's mold too especially in the bathroom.
i remember last year i came home to a flooded basement of hot water.
Woof. Of course it had to be hot water too. That sounds miserable.
Ya thats terrifying.What creeps me out are the stories of sinkholes just opening up under a house with no warning. That happened to a guy in Florida, while he was sleeping one opened up and half the house dropped into it. They couldn't reach him and he basically died alone in a sinkhole.
Incredibly heartbreaking. And his poor brother
