On Monday night, when the last person left the office, everything was perfect. Then Tuesday morning, everything changed. A small pipe in the wall caused a BIG water damage and shut down the entire plant for the day. SERVPRO was able to extract the water and set drying equipment while their IT support got their computers back up and running in record time. 

When this beverage distribution center had a water damage that went undiscovered for 4 days it became very apparent that this was not going to be a small job. Since the water was in the building for that long, it was decided that removing the affected sheetrock would be the best thing for everyone involved. And good thing it was, because mold growth was already starting to appear. The rooms affected were put under negative pressure and demo was started. All affected areas were treated with a biocide and all affected materials were thrown away in a dumpster on-site. All materials that were removed were replaced after a clearance test deemed all the air to be breathable again. 

Over the Christmas break an unoccupied building suffered a major water loss. Ceiling tiles were affected throughout the entire building and at least 6" of water was still standing in a majority of the building. Elevator shafts had to be extracted and dumped in to special containers. Since the majority of the building was affected by the water damage a specialized dehumidifier had to be placed to dry down the building in a timely manner. The large supply tubing was run through out the building to pump in hot dry air. Thanks to the large desiccant dehumidifier, the building was dried down in a matter of days instead of weeks. 

When this local business suffered a water loss from a sewage drain line, precautions had to be taken. Sewage water contains bacteria which means crews have to wear Tyvek suits, gloves and masks. According to the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) any time there is bacteria laced water that comes in contact with porous materials, said materials need to be discarded. So, sheetrock, baseboard, carpet pad and carpet had to be removed and discarded. We had to apply a heavy amount of biocide to all the affected areas and then dry down any non-porous materials. A small area of wet carpet and sheetrock turned in to quite a largejob by the time it was complete.
