Frozen Pipe Burst in Hotel Room

Ceiling collapses in a hotel room after frozen pipe bursts, damaging the contents below

Below-freezing temperatures during the Midwest winters lead to rampant frozen pipes and pipe breaks in homes, schools, and commercial buildings. Frozen pipes are tricky: they can be difficult to prevent and detect, and can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time. 

A frozen pipe recently burst in the ceiling of an unoccupied hotel room, with the weight of the water causing the panels to collapse onto the room below. Fortunately, our SERVPRO team was there to help.

Our crew was able to extract any standing water from the room, remove any debris and unsalvageable contents, and properly dry out the area. Furniture was transported back to the warehouse so that it could be dried, cleaned, and restored to its original condition so the hotel room could be put back to use in no time.
