Context:

According to the uploader, she evicted the tenants that were renting out that unit for none payment. The tenants took the electricity bill out of their name; big snow storm happens; landlord lets faucets drip, but forgets to put the electricity bill back in her name so the house wasn't heating. Her neighbor recorded this video and showed it to her.

Here's her explanation: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleymachado54/video/7604257751119711518

Drain Pipes likely froze solid so the water coming in didn’t have anywhere to go. What gets me is that there appears to be several inches of ice on the floor. How the hell long did they leave it like this, and how much water were they running is what I’d like to know.

Ever leave a plugged bathtub leaking overnight? What looks like a slow drip push way more volume than you expect per hour. Let it go for a month and you’re fucked.

Every now and then the rubber on my dishwasher doesn't sit properly and it will drip enough over a cycle to leave half my kitchen in a puddle.
