Kind of the next chapter in the leak under the house situation, but its a completely different question. I called insurance and they were *super* helpful and advised me about when and when not to make a claim.

So, now just waiting for the plumber who is coming this afternoon. They may end up needing to cut my floor open given how tight the crawl space is..I actually found out from insurance that this would be better for me as they are more likely to pay for the flooring repair costs. I am not sure if I should encourage them or not, but...if they do cut it open, I don't think they do anything to repair, right? And then I am stuck with an open floor until I can get someone to repair and since there has been a water leak underneath that sounds especially bad...so, does that mean we would need to leave the house until we can get it repaired or is there some quick service that makes it inhabitable?

Thanks!
