Wow, that stinks! Literally and figuratively.
Don't be so quick to assume your rig is totaled? Seriously. Do they tear down a house if the water leaks.
floor shouldn't be particle board so it's not going to disintegrate. And presume you dried it out and it didn't sit wet for weeks or months.
Rip out the flooring/carpet, check for any rotting (not likely, but if cabinets are particle board they may have gotten soft on the bottom, whatever, not the end of the world and pretty easy to remedy. Paint the floor with Killz after cleaning it with TSP trisodium phospate. Put some new carpet and turn the TV on!
Or it's a good excuse to ditch the rig to the insurance company if that's more beneficial to you than fixing it.....if they even would total it.
Sorry grit, but BTDT and you have it wrong.
Our FW was flooded with CLEAN City Water.
Fitting broke during the night while we slept....ran for few hours.
Squeegeed standing water out the door, then used a 16 gal wet/dry vac (dumped over 8 FULL lads), then pulled carpet/padding & Linoleum and threw it in trash.Used blowers, warm air dryers etc to SAVE the subfloor
Still ended up with having to have large slideout floor due to the subfloor going soft/disintegrating.
And this was CLEAN water that was removed, dried within just a few hours of incident
NOT waste water ------that ran for days
Insurance is OPs BEST option
