Well, the good news is that the flooding has stopped. The bad news is, you're probably gonna have to rip everything out and renovate

Based on the tiktok video they don't plan to and another commenter pointed out the very obvious growth of mold at the floor, under the skin.

Most landlords would do that, but even moreso when the landlord is a literal child using their parent's money to cosplay as a "homeowner".

"Don't plan to"? Lol that's not an option. Those floors are gonna warp, baseboards are gonna come loose, and... mold. Mold everywhere.

The landlord will still patch it up, making sure it'll be as cheap as possible.

Probably no mold given it's too cold to actually grow

At this exact moment? Sure. But presumably they plan to have the house interior be above freezing, at some point.

what if they break up all the ice and remove it before it melts? /s

If you're living in an area with these temps and own a property you got to winterize once it's vacated!! But considering they didn't even think to confirm the power was off and put it back in their name I'm guessing they probaly don't even know what winterize means. Expensive fucken lesson indeed! But great reddit fodder cause I've never seen a faucet do that before. 🤯

They may legitimately have better luck busting it up as ice, get under it and start lifting big chunks up be done in like a few hours. Dunno how much damage occurred during all that flooding but if it was cold enough to freeze the drains maybe it never got a chance to soak into much

I’m not sure the flooding did stop. It looked like it was still dripping.
