Hi,

We just had an incident where we left the water open in an upstairs wash basin. The water leaked to first floor dining area through a vent. We caught it right away when it started leaking to the dining room. We turned off the tap and no more water leaking downstairs after wiping up the bathroom. Should I be concerned about mold, etc..

Thanks and appreciate your help in advance...

You might want to run a dehumidifier for a few days inside the house in the areas that got wet just to be on the safe side. Had it been summertime the a/c would wick out the excess moisture, but since it is winter, this idea could help your area completely dry out and prevent any mold problem.

I think you should be concerned with just who left the water running in the first place LOL
