Commercial building's ceiling loses the fight from water weight.

A commercial building in Waterloo, Iowa, had a sprinkler system malfunction during the weekend. By the time it was discovered the ceiling insulation and dry wall had fallen due to the weight of the water. You can see the water reflection on the tiled floor.

The quick response by SERVPRO of Black Hawk County cleaned up the debris, removed the rest of the insulation and dry wall, exposing the ceiling. Many air movers and humidifiers were used to dry the flooring and ceiling beams. SERVPRO of Black Hawk County was successful in saving the flooring and preventing mold growth on the ceiling beams.
