We had a small 10Gal fresh water fish tank in my daughters bedroom.
It was sitting on a dresser and sprung a leak yesterday while we were at work. A good part of the water that leaked out was mopped up thanks to the clothes and extra bedding I kept in it, but obviously the surrounding carpet got wet as well.
Her bedroom is above the garage so under the floor board is insulation.
I'm not sure how long the pooled water had been sitting there, could have been anywhere from 3-4hrs. The tank gave way at the seal, at the bottom / side of the tank, not a case where the pump created the issue. the bottom literally gave way. The fish inside did not survive.
We mopped it up using towels and hairdryers to dry out the carpet, but what should be we be on the lookout for post drying? We've been in contact with the manufacturer and they have opened a claim and will review any costs / damages for compensation.
