I had a near disaster in my studio this past weekend. My son flooded the upstairs toilet and didn't let me know. He attempted to clean up the evidence but didn't realize it had worked it's way into the kitchen and started seeping down through the ceiling of my studio. When I went into my studio the floor was soaked near my master sequencer/keyboard. Fortunately the water came down through one of the inset lights in a location where no synths were directly underneath. But still, it was toilet water. :-( It took me a good 20-30 minutes to figure out where the water had initially come from. And I still had to wipe down some gear that suffered from splashback.

It did however run down the open lid and into some of the sliders. I must admit to panicking - but I think I managed to catch it just in time. Got a hairdryer onto it straight away - time will tell. Need to get the roof sorted before I do anything else.
