When a frozen pipe broke and caused an unexpected flood in the computer room of a local school, SERVPRO of Greater Sussex county was called in during after-hours to respond to the emergency water damage, which soaked the classroom’s carpeting beneath the computer equipment. Our technicians immediately extracted the water from the carpeted floors, applied an anti-microbial agent, and set up air movers with large dehumidifiers to provide 2 days of drying to prevent any mold formation from occurring. Pictured here is the classroom’s wet carpeting during the dry-out process while preparing to reopen the room for class use.
