So the lady above me left the water running in her bathtub and I have a mess and my favorite boots got ruined πŸ™ This has happened several times but damage never went beyond my bathroom before. So sad that she is getting more and more forgetful. I’ll miss my boots but I can get others. She can’t get a new mind.

My mother had Alzheimer's. In the earlier stages we could put up notes to help her remember. Later on, that didn't work out so well.

Do you think she'd be agreeable to adding an overflow alarm to her bathroom? This one is loud enough you'd probably hear it go off, and could take appropriate action to protect your items.

@Agatha @PhillyBella That’s what I was going to suggest. It should help minimize the damage.

I want one for my a/c pan, which is in the attic over the 2nd story. Due to improper plumbing, which we'll fix eventually, the secondary drain line is routed into the primary drain, which renders it useless. We do the maintenance, but before we found out abt the problem it clogged & overflowed. It ran down to the 1st story ceiling over my sewing room. GALLONS of water up there before it started dripping. But I need a device that can tolerate Texas attic summer temps.

@Agatha @sfleetucker I didn’t even know they made such things! I hope it works for you!

@PhillyBella @sfleetucker

If your neighbor isn't agreeable, you can still put one in your bathroom near wherever the water comes in, but maybe not the 95 decibel model. πŸ˜‚
