Impressive job. I've only had one worse. I got a call from a guy who had bought a foreclosed ranch home. It had been involved in an arson/attempted murder. The guy got it for a song and didn't really look at the home as he figured it was gut job and he was mostly buying the land. He wanted to get an idea of the cost to clean and deodorize the structure after he gutted it. So we went in and looked around and I asked him if he ever looked in the basement. He said no so we opened the basement door in the kitchen, took one step and hit water. The house was a crime scene, vacant, it was months before the bank got involved with foreclosure. So no one had winterized the home, the furnace quit, the pipes froze, and the basement filled completely to the floor joists with water. Later investigations would show 180,000 gallons of water went through the house. As it was pumped out it turns out it had been a finished basement with 3 bedrooms, a bath, a large family room, and a workshop/utility room. Couches, mattresses, dressers full of clothes, sheet rock, carpet, ceiling tiles, bookcases, all had dissolved into a nasty pulpy mess. Took four of us 3 days to completely empty it, remove all non-structural framing, clean the joists and power wash all the bare concrete. My favorite part was a 55 gallon fish tank. If the fish were still alive when it flooded I can just picture them as the water crested the tank going "We're free!"
