SERVPRO Works With Local First Responders To Locate the Source of a Water Damage

1/30/2019 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO Production Manager is showing the local fire department where the source of water is so they can get the sprinkler system shut off.

SERVPRO was already onsite cleaning up a water damage when the fire alarm went off at this local hospital. The local fire department was dispatched right away while SERVPRO worked with the maintenance department to locate the source of the additional water. Unfortunately, the winter storm that caused the first water damage broke a second sprinkler in a different part of the building. When the fire department showed up, SERVPRO was able to direct them to the source of loss and to the room with the shutoffs for the sprinkler system. This prompt response resulted in less water getting out overall, and greatly reduced the amount of water released from the sprinkler system. The customer was grateful for SERVPRO's assistance. If you want to improve response times before you experience a fire or water damage, contact us at 219-779-7577 and ask about our free Emergency Ready Profile. It allows us to locate and document shutoffs for your gas, electric and water as well as put contact information for all the people you might need at 2:00am in one place.
