I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune! Again, its lucky that someone was there to deal with it while it was happening. A friend's pressure-assisted toilet burst, flooding their home while they were gone for the weekend.... pretty much ruined everything in the house that was on the floor!

To help aid in drying rooms out, fans are very helpful, although avoid the use of space heaters. More than one house fire has started by using space heaters to dry up flood damage. You can pick up dehumidifying kits from boating supply stores. They work really well, and aren't too pricey.

I wish you the best of success in preserving your damp collectibles!
