Storm damage

A major office complex called SERVPRO during a very bad wind storm.  Their first floor was flooding from ground water and to make matters worse they lost their power.  The maintenance manager called us immediately.  Our crew got the necessary equipment together and was on their way.  We were also advised that some of the equipment in the production shop was soaked.  When they arrived there was still standing water but the water had begun to recede.  The company got their emergency generator started and all was good to proceed with the work.  It seemed that aside from the outside water source a pipe had broken in the basement causing most of the damage.  After the water valve was turned off the manager called a plumber to fix the pipe.  Our crew did the cleanup in a timely manner with all the required equipment.  The owner was so very happy that he only had to close shop for one day since SERVPRO did such an amazing job.  Each day a company is closed money is lost.  This owner was so very happy for himself and also for his employees that didn't lose any work time.
