Busted Water Line

The after effects of a burst water line which ran for several hours causing the entire floor to flood.

Pictured is the after effect of a broken water line which unfortunately ran for several hours before the it could be shut off. The water was so extensive that the entire building flooded.

As you can see the carpet is literally becoming unglued from the water. Even after extraction, the carpet was too badly damaged to save and will need to be replaced. It sort of looks like waves from the ocean.

SERVPRO of Wayne and South Lackawanna Counties was able to triage the building overnight and continued the following day. The carpet was removed, drying equipment placed and walls dried. The occupants were displaced for a few days but returned to a safe dry work area. Long hours and hard work led to another satisficed customer.
