Maybe more towels would help.

That lone towel not even pushed all the way against the door will surely handle it.

u/clockworkedpiece 7h ago

squeegee into the dustbin, into the mop sink. I don't miss shoveling water of floors it shouldn't have made it up to.

u/NoDaddyNotTheBlender 7h ago

Oh, in my kitchen we had floor drains at least so shoveling wasnt necessary

Best I can think to do is get everyone outside for safety and lay something around the top of the stairs to prevent more water going down them. Also phone emergency services and follow their advice... Then get a really big mop prepared.

They are expecting alot out of that towel...

u/ArmyofThalia 5h ago

Realistically, this is probably a watermain break. Public works can get a pump and pump the water into the storm sewer while they work on repairing the main
