Condo Disaster

The pipe break caused this drywall to become saturated and ultimately collapse.

Recently SERVPRO of Evanston was called to an after hour loss after a pipe had broken in a condo building. The pipe broke in the hallway, so luckily for the tenants no rooms were affected. The loss occurred early on a Saturday morning, but the condo associated did not hesitate and they called us as soon as they found out. Our on call crew responded right away and they were able to get there and begin the mitigation process once the plumber was finished. The pipe break was caught rather early, saving the condo association from more damage had they waited to call SERVPRO. You can see in the image that parts of the ceiling began to fall, creating some safety issues for the tenants of the building. It was imperative that SERVPRO remove any potential safety issues first so that they can work in a safer environment. SERVPRO was able to remove any affected materials and set drying equipment in a matter of just a few hours. It doesn't matter the time of day or type of place, whether it is residential or commercial, make sure you call us at SERVPRO of Evanston for all of your restoration needs.
