durock and flooding question.

My parents house flooded. There was about 2.5 feet of water on the tile floor. The tile floor consists of concrete slab, two layers of 1/2" durock and then 18" porcelain tiles.

Insurance adjuster says its fine. Tile on slab is nothing to worry about. I think it needs to come out, there's no way that durock can dry out under there.

What are your thoughts on this? and if you agree it needs come out, any information to use to prove it to the adjuster.

I will refrain from further comment, but I wish you the best of luck bud.

Wishes and luck are two sides of a non existent coin.

Wish in one hand and defecate in the other and see which one fills up first.

Luck is for losers. I've never been lucky. Praise God.

Wishes and luck are two sides of a non existent coin.
Logically speaking, they are the same side of the coin with the only difference between the two is some desire for the outcome--and the actual outcome is the luck of getting it. The other side of that coin would be "nice try" or "get a job" or the like.

Sort of like putting cbu down on a slab. One side of that coin is, "I wish this goes well/luck will shine upon me if all goes well in the future".
The other side of that coin is, "WTF were you thinking?!?! You just got the whammy prize."

This is why real professionals use the magic 8 ball.

Please, I beg you, do not shut this down.

This guy is priceless. He is well on his way to setting a standard of unprovoked douchebaggery that will be hard for anyone to ever eclipse.

I, for one, want to see this man succeed at the challenge he has chosen to undertake.

After all, there is some decent entertainment value in it. I keep thinking that it couldn't possibly get worse......but he is obviously a pro.

I just realized that this post may be the proverbial nail in the coffin. If so, I will never forgive myself.

Lol brilliant :laughing: he's still blowing air. Surprised he hung around after such a crash and burn.

This will def go down in the list of comical threads somewhere near the top. The best thing he can do is get the thread shut down and removed.

Sure has been fun though. He should get a job working for an insurance company as any claim you make he will have a reason not to pay out as it's ok :laughing:

Or perhaps go into the grout filtered water business.
