Hey, so after a quick search this seems to be kind of a general-ish Apartment thread. My question: first flooding experience today, water squishing up from under the carpet likely due to the heavy rains. It's 2AM, but the maintenance guy came out and is trying to hunt down the problem. I, in true goon fashion had googled "apartment flooding what do" earlier and I asked the guy if they'd replace the carpet or not. He said since it's a synthetic carpet, there's no mildew/mold issues to be had, and that a carpet company "Extracting" + dehumidifier/blowing/dry would be enough. True/false? I just feel uneasy knowing that lovely tepid water has seeped under a good amount of the carpet (the leak is actually straddling my bathroom and room, so at least half the water is on tile) and would prefer it be replaced. Worth pushing the apartment manager for, or is that cleaning process described above really enough? I'm a baby goon and this is my first flood experience, so sorry in advance for being dumb.

Moving-wise, any comments/suggestions/reviews on guys like PODS, U-Pack, etc? Moving cross-country and have some amount for relocation expenses, but still looking to pick the best option to move an apartment's worth of stuff. Need to move my car too, though that might be more an AI question.

This might be the place to ask about self-storage. I'm tired of some stuff cluttering up my apartment that I keep justifying "I'll keep it around until I move to a bigger place and have room for it". Any quick guidelines and such for choosing a self storage place, what price to pay, etc? I'm thinking I need 5'x5' or 5'x8' at most.

Question for thread: I finally have an apartment with hardwood* floors! (* it’s definitely some kind of laminate and not remotely wood-like.) Got a Roomba for vacuuming duties but now that I have a lot of hard surface to mop up, I feel like there must be better than my bucket and regular tangle mop (and I don’t really want to keep pouring the dirty bucket water into my toilet or bathtub). I feel like something like a Swiffer WaterJet is a decent choice? I resign myself to having to purchase consumable refills that probably aren’t the best for the environment.

Quick gut check: shopping for a new bedframe and I'm limited myself to platform beds with built-in storage. Mentioned this to some friends and they suggested just getting a regular bedframe with appropriate height clearance and then under-bed totes for simplicity, because that also makes moving easier. There are storage beds with drawers, and then also those that have hydraulics / pneumatics to lift up the entire mattress to get to the innards. I was hoping to graduate from IKEA but the MALM is pretty cheap with or without the storage drawers. It seems like I should just look for a platform bed I like that has accessible space underneath and then check the amount of ground clearance?

What do you do for a headboard? I'm renting, so don't really want to toss a headboard into studs. It does appear I must choose between the floaty looks of something like this vs. having ~30 sq. ft back of space in a 600 sq. ft apartment to store spare linens and other stuff.
