Macomb County Tropical Smoothie Flooded by a baseball.

Tropical rains are unwelcome at Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

In a very busy business, it is extremely hard to take a loss on time. Tropical Smoothie Café is in high demand on a daily basis.

When this Macomb location was hit by a pouring down of water coming through the ceilings and light fixtures, it was considered an emergency to get this business up and running again.

The cause was a fire suppression system (one sprinkler) being hit by a baseball from an upstairs batting cage area.

Accidents really do happen and this one caused serious water to penetrate the floors into this business below.

Ceiling tiles needed to be removed that had water damage. SERVPRO technicians had to crawl into the space above the tiles to check for water and anything that was saturated as in insulation that would have to be pulled out and replaced.  

All equipment was covered with large plastic rolls to ensure safety of electronics, refrigeration, and working spaces. The owners took every safety precaution and had our crew throw away all products that was exposed to the initial situation even if it was not affected.

SERVPRO efficiently dried all areas with our equipment in a timely fashion and Tropical was open within a few days to service the public that counts on this business as a chosen favorite!
