Try not to worry too much - like raven said, the landlord should have insurance to cover things like this. They might ask you to pay the excess, but check with the tenants’ union (or whatever it’s called) before you do this.
Do you have a fan heater? Running one of those pointing at the floor should help dry the carpet. A room at my work flooded twice and the cleanup involved running heaters for a couple of days. It stunk while drying but was fine afterwards.
I don’t mind paying the excess or whatever, it’ll hurt but it was my responsibility lol. I’m just waiting to see what the RE says about the plumbers report. I should have asked him but I wasn’t thinking.
I actually don’t have a fan heater. My anko one caught fire last winter so I checked it and never bought another. I’ve been running the split system but it’s on dry ATM. It’s old AF though, hence why I’ll be getting a dehumidifier this weekend (we have issues with condensation as well, the whole building does). I check for a fan heater as well, but it won’t be a fucking anko again hahaha.
