Thanks everybody. This is the first time I've been able to sit back down again and take a break from cleaning water ruined stuff. I still have to tear out the walls in the parts that were finished before any mold set in.
Sadly, our insurance is denying our claim for anything. We do not live in a flood plain and as such, can't buy flood insurance. There is no policy in PA that covers ground water damage. The real kick in the face is that the water level was high enough that it also destroyed our furnace/AC unit, so on top of the personal possessions and property damage, I'm out another $3500 for a new furnace.
But as was stated, my family and I are all unharmed and it's just stuff. It's just very disheartening....we both work full time jobs and I run a photo studio business on the side and we can never seem to get ahead. When we start to, something like this always seems to come up. Thanks again for all the kind words.
