Sprinkler System Freezes and Bursts

3/1/2015

After suffering through a number of sub-zero nights in a row, the manager of an adult-living apartment complex heard a strange sound in the ceiling above her desk. She got up to investigate and two seconds later the ceiling above where she had been sitting collapsed.

Damage in the Office

Drywall, insulation, and water crashed down onto her desk and office chair. Luckily, because she had just gotten up, she wasn’t injured. But the office and a lot of the first floor hallways and apartments were not so lucky. The sprinkler system in the attic above the office had frozen and cracked overnight. As the temperature rose throughout the morning and afternoon the ice in the pipe melted, allowing the water to begin flowing.

Our emergency crews were on the scene within an hour of the manager’s call and the cleanup process was started. Hallways and several apartments were flooded, some having just received new carpet and paint that very day.

Because of management’s quick response in contacting us, we were able to extract water and dry carpeting and walls quickly to prevent any further damage or mold issues. A few days later, life was back to normal for all of the senior residents.

Dragon Restoration and the complex’s management team had developed a disaster plan just a few weeks earlier. Because the plan was already in place, it enabled quick response by our emergency water damage team and as a result, we were able to limit the damage to an easier-to-repair inconvenience.
