7. I would in a heartbeat but I am on the ground floor

and on a concrete slab that had leaking pipes underneath and my whole place flooded in 24 hours in 1995 and now the pipes are rerouted outside of the condos since this had been happening to other apts for years. Now the slab has cracks and actually slopes in a few spots and the whole floor would have to be flooded with concrete to even it out before any hard or tile floors can be put down and that costs over $5,000 alone. I wish I could de-stink it since as I said the carpet is in good shape. Steam cleaning, deodorizer from carpet people, pet fresh, borax, vinegar, baking soda, fabreeze, etc last for about 30 minutes. It is embarrassing having people come visit, especially since I am a clean person.
