Collapsed Ceilings Are A Big Deal

A water intrusion in an upstairs bathroom can lead to some heavy damage. As seen here the leak caused a kitchen ceiling to partially collapse. Unfortunately in this case SERVPRO Professionals were not able to save the ceiling due to the water flowing through the wet insulation above. 

Technicians laid plastic down to protect counters and flooring before tearing our the remaining drywall so that the mess was minimal.  Besides removing just the drywall all the insulation was removed as well. This will ensure that no growth will occur once the wet material are dried and /or replaced.

Because the water traveled through flooring, insulation and drywall it was treated as a category 3 water loss which means that the water was contaminated from the materials it passed through. SERVPRO Professionals applied an antimicrobial to the affected area to assist in preventing growth.
