plumbing..
The toilet actually if you can believe it. They water system here is a well/septic system. Lucky for the landlord theres a guy 2 bays down that has a porta potty business who pumps the tank whenever it fills.
Lucky in that the landlord comes around maybe twice a year. I've met him once and paid him once since we've been in this place. (september) When the plumbers came last year to do the pressure test for the N.G. we also got him to replace the gasket under the toilet because it was leaky. Most guys in this building don't really care, they use it for a shop for their cars and such. Well we called him about 2 months ago saying we wanted him to get some repairs done. The walls in the bathroom have got back mold because the building used to have a leaky roof, so they fixed the roof but not the walls inside. Anyway I guess last night somebody used the toilet, and the little flapper thing got stuck that closes the hole from the tank to the bowl. and it just cycled all night until the septic tank filled up. So the water had nowhere to go, it just flooded the toilet, then onto the floor and the entire place.
I"m glad it was fresh water (if you can call it that), and not sewage. What a bloody day.
Bass player took his GT-10 apart, which was about the only piece of equpiment actually on the floor and under the water, about half submerged. I was lucky I had half an inch on him because of my pedal board. But it still got wet inside. Anyway he says all the circuitry is mounted in side the top panel,, not the bottom. So there's a good chance the water never got into the real guts of the machine. So if his works (hell plug it in in a couple days and check) that bodes well for mine.
About 3 ends on my daisy chain were drooped in the water as well as the end that plugs into the 9v adapter. Around each of them in the water was that frothy residue that builds up on the terminals in your car battery, it was like a light blue color. So i'm hoping that didn't affect much.. we're dealing with 9 volts here so i'm hoping nothing really got hurt. My stompboxes are on a 2nd tier on my pedal board which didn't get wet, just a few of those connectors, But none of the breakers were thrown so I'm assuming nothing shorted out. Which is a good thing. None of the guitar amps were plugged in. but the computer and the PA equipment was.
I tell you it took a brave minute to walk to the back of the room and throw all the breakers off.
an inch of water over 1000 square feet because of less than 12 hours on a faulty fudging toilet. Impressive I guess.
