Ducting and Containing in a Commercial Facility Bathroom.

In this Commercial Building Bathroom there was a major water leak that come through the ceiling down into the walls, all stemming from a broken drinking fountain on the upper level.

As the water was pouring down into the walls the tile was also affected by the liquid. In aspiration to save the tiles and what is behind the walls SERVPRO performs a method which an AIR MOVER is used along with DUCTING and CONTAINMENT.

A COMMERICAL and INDUSTRIAL AIR MOVER is an essential part of water restoration. It is designed to provide rapid evaporation of any moisture in a wet structure.  In this specific situation the goal was to save the walls and tile, a plastic ducting was placed through a specific section of the wall that was cut out and placed inside that confined area.

 Once in place, SERVPRO professionals are able to control dampness in spots that are hard to get to. Once this process has started a professional tech will monitor the equipment. Our technicians will then use a moisture meter to measure whether or not there is still moisture or if it has dried.

We are happy to say for the owner of this building the process worked.
