Claflin University effected by storm Elliot

1/10/2023 (Permalink)

After Christmas day a winter storm named Elliot came and destroyed a lot of customers pipes. It effected Claflin University really bad. This storm made pipes bust in three buildings, the dormitories and the church to be exact. Our highly trained team gathered all the equipment needed to take care of this storm/water damage, and was there within two hours of the call. 

First we extracted the water out of every building. Then, we set up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry up the specific areas and to remove excess moisture from the air. . We do have to test the buildings for asbestos since they are old buildings and because it is a commercial building.

A couple things to remember when preparing for a storm:

• Leave your water dripping 
• If you don't leave your water dripping , DO NOT turn on your water after a winter storm 
• Call SERVPRO if you encounter a storm/water damage 803-536-1285
