That really sucks, B. Did you need to file a homeowner's claim?
No, we cleaned it up, steamed the carpets a few times, ripped out the shelving and replaced the offending connectors and hoses. It still royally sucks though because now I'm always checking that closet after a snow melt or rain. So far so good though.
