Commercial Water Damage- 7 Floors

3/29/2021 (Permalink)

Our crew recently tackled a large water damage at a high-rise apartment building in Center City, Philadelphia. A water heater burst on the 14th floor, soaking the entire unit and raining down on 7 floors beneath it. Ceilings, walls and floors were saturated and in need of extraction and repair.

With water still pouring down, our project manager arrived on the scene and acted quickly to prevent further damage. He first laid plastic over tenant belongings to protect them from moisture. Then, he got straight to work extracting water and placing fans. Partial demolition of several of the saturated walls and floors was required. 

Within a few days, the damaged units were completely dried and prepared for all necessary repairs. Emergency response prevented further damage from occurring!
