Water Damage from Frozen Pipes
Pandora, OH
We were called out to assess the water damage from frozen pipes.
Due to subzero temperatures, a toilet tank on the first level had burst while the homeowners were away. The water sat for days until the homeowner’s brother checked on the house.
The drying needs were considered to be specialty drying because of the drying of the plaster walls, wood floors, and ornate wood working. The house was dried out, but there was still extensive damage that needed restored.
Our crew was able to save the historical structural integrity of the home while fixing all damages!
Water Damage to Hardwood Gym Floor
Kalida, OH
We received a call from a homeowner who had water damage on their hardwood gym floor in an out-building.
A strong storm had blown in the garage door to the building, and rain water ran underneath the floor, causing it to swell.
With our powerful hardwood floor drying system, we were able to make the floor return to its pre-loss condition with no swelling.
Hotel Water Damage Restoration
Sidney, OH
An early morning call around 4:00am on a Saturday morning brought our water team to a hotel water damage restoration project.
A faulty toilet supply line in a Hampton Inn had burst in a second story room. Water was raining down through the ceilings of the kitchen, conference room, computer lab, dining room, exercise room and hallways. Four rooms on the second story were also affected.
We were able to effectively dryout the hotel, while they remained open and operational. Most of the drying was complete in 3 days, with restoration beginning immediately after.
Pipe Burst in Restaurant
Lima, OH
In December of 2017, Mellow Mushroom called for help in drying out their restaurant after a frozen pipe burst in the ceiling.
Our team set up the equipment quickly, extracting the excess water on the floor and setting fans and dehumidifiers to begin the dryout process.
While the complete dryout took a few days, we were able to get them opened back up for the evening dinner rush.
Flooded Golf Course
Van Wert, OH
We were called to a golf course after 2-3′ of water flooded the clubhouse. Our Water Team got to work, setting the equipment to dry out the flooring and walls.
There were lots of contents that needed moved before the restoration phase could begin. Most of the floors and bottoms of the walls were removed, which allowed the rest of the structure to be dried out.
Once everything was dry, we began restoring the building so it could be used again.
Water Damage from Frozen Pipe Burst
Lima, OH
A local gym experienced water damage in the middle of the night when a frozen pipe burst, leaking water through the ceiling and down to the floor below.
Our team responded to this late night call, quickly helping the business to begin drying out the water damage and cleaning up the mess.
They were able to stay open during the entire dryout process.
Water Damage in Basement
Lima, OH
Our Water Team responded quickly when the home owner called, saying his sump pump had backed up, causing water damage in his basement.
His finished basement was soaked as water covered every square inch of the basement.
We extracted over 600 gallons of water from this basement, and then set our drying equipment to finish drying it the rest of the way.
