Large Water Loss at Local School

Large Rain = Large Loss

Once the big rains came, we knew the calls would come. We had already taken over one dozen calls about water losses within about an 8 hour period on a Sunday. These losses were noticed because the homeowners were at home when the rains came.

But what about the schools and businesses that were closed over the weekend? Would they be calling? Sure enough, a call came in right before opening hour on Monday morning. The call came from a Quincy School that had opened the door to find 3"- 4" of water standing throughout their basement area. We responded with two extraction units, fans, and dehumidifiers. The loss looked to be in excess of 3,500 sq ft.  Extraction of the water began immediately. Since this loss was from groundwater, the carpet was going to need to be removed along with the drywall that had wicked up the water from setting too long.

You can count on us if disaster strikes your commercial building or school.
