the water was pouring out of my smoke detectors and vents on my first floor. Quite a bit of water was leaked aprox 15 gallons. It was vacumed up shortly after i noticed. will this cause water damage / mold?

chances are good you will. Unless the laundry has a tile floor.

Oh, yeah. There will be water damage.
Call your home insurance and make a claim right away. They'll send out a company that will put in these HUGE fans to dry out the drywall so you don't get mold. Then you'll have to have the ceiling and flooring replaced. Start getting quotes right away.

maybe i know my moms best friend's bathroom which was up stairs kept getting water split out of the tub and stuff and she had water stains on the ceiling of the first floor you were able to see those stains very well about the mold i would get it checked for mold just in case

if u have a home with drywall ceilings i would think u will have water damage. also if insulation is between the drywall and floor that could be wet and cause mold. better get a contractor to check.

most likely yes, even though you got to it quickly, the water still soaked in and you didn't get the water that was down "in" something. i would suggest calling someone right away, the longer you wait the worse it will get and cost more to fix. good luck!

Not if you can get it airated. Then it will dry out and just have a water mark.
