Lugoff Business Sprinkler System Fails Causing Heavy Water Damage

Fire Sprinkler activate due to high heat causing heavy water damage

SERVPRO responds to a Water Damage call at a business in Lugoff South Carolina.  Upon arrival it was determined by the fire department that the fire sprinklers had all activated due to the high heat in the attic space where the water lines were run.  Once the water source had been deactivated SERVPRO set up and began the task of extracting the water, and removing the debris caused by the water.  Ceilings had dropped, insulation heavily saturated with water now lay on the floor throughout the building. The floors were all covered in a pool of water.  Due to the nature of the cause of loss, the lower four feet of the drywall's had to be removed.  Drywall acts as a wick, and to prevent a future mold potential it is critical that all the wet drywall be removed.  Once the water, insulation, and drywall debris is removed the drying process begins.  SERVPRO will monitor daily until the facility is completely dry. After a complete dry out SERVPRO will perform a Mold Remediation to prevent mold growth.
