Water issue again...

We were up early as Beth had pt at 9am. I took a shower and started the laundry. I heard a noise, but thought it was the washer. Then I headed the water alarm downstairs. I took off downstairs and saw water all over the floor and coming out of the pipe. So I hit the emergency shutoff and found the leak was before that. I was able to divert some water in the salt tank and finally found a value to shut it off. It did not appear it got any of Dawn's boxes wet and was draining good. I called the water softener people as they installed it and was just out yesterday for service. They called back and said the guys were out on a well call and would let us know when they were on their way. Beth came home and we talked about what happened. They finally got here 2pm and it took then 20 minutes to fix the leak. It was a pipe that was never glued and the guy must have hit it just right. He drained all the water from the salt tank and was on his way. Sure glad I was home as we were going to the wholesale club. Guess we well do that tomorrow.
