Yesterday my wife woke me up at 4:00AM. The house is flooded, she said. I ran to the kitchen and saw the water was coming out from the bottom of the sink. It turned out that there was a crack at the bottom of the undersink filter and water just kept bursting out from there. By the time I turned off the valve, there was half an inch of water in the kitchen, and the hallway, and the carpet in my office and my son’s room next to the hallway were soaking wet.

My wife and I managed to removed more than 10 buckets of water from our kitchen floor but we could not do anything with all the carpet floors. Then I called my insurance claim office around 7AM. The cleaner, the contractor and the carpet company then showed up few hours later to check the situation, got the room measured, taking pictures, and started the cleaning process.

This morning, there are 10 blowers and 3 dehumidifiers working in full speed. They have removed the carpets from the hallway, my son’s bedroom and my office. I still need to talk to the insurance to remove all the carpets since the color would hardly match.

I couldn’t imagine what if it happens while my wife and I are both at work for example. In any case, it disturbs your life, robs your time and I could not go to work since I have to wait for the cleaning crews doing their job these two days. Someone has to pay for all these losses.

If you have an undersink filter, and it has been a while since you or whoever installed it, please make sure you check if it’s the same model as mine. According to my insurance claim office, there has been another claim with the same type of filter that he had handled. Before I mentioned the model of mine, he has already knew the color and the model. It’s an OMNIFILTER - Undersink Water Filter model SFM2 like the one shown above. I don’t know if it also happens if other area but the reason I wrote this because I hope you would never go through what I’m going through right now.
