One Monday I woke to discover 2 inches of water in our basement due to an external irrigation valve left on. It was on for over 15 hours and subsequently flooded our basement. We had no choice but to call a cleanup service to remove the water and dry out the walls, carpet and help reverse the damage. The home insurance does not cover this and we are into it for $4000 dollars. Pray that God will supply to pay this large unexpected bill.
