Wall damage due to a hit and run accident

Accidents can happen at any time of the day! A broken water line was the result of a hit and run into the wall of this healthcare facility. The building walls both interior and exterior suffered some major damage along with the floors, equipment, and furniture where the accident occurred. Then once the water started flowing in through the broken pipes, the carpets were covered in water and quickly became soaked. Since this healthcare facility operated during regular business hours, SERVPRO of Southwest Portland set up a containment area to separate the damage from the incoming patients and staff. Following the larger containment, we set up a smaller containment area to focus on the water damage and to dry the affected area quickly. The office was able to stay open for business keeping their patients as their priority!
