Qualified Remodeler: Insurance Restoration — Gold
Over the Christmas and New Year holiday, a major fire sprinkler line broke for a national grocery store chain. The break itself was in an extremely difficult spot — the ceiling of a 118,000 SF freezer in the chain's large distribution center. The scope of work was to mitigate damages caused by the leaking water, which had frozen and obstructed all the chain's production abilities.
Managing a large workforce of 105 people, including working with other contractors onsite, the company extracted the water that had frozen in the suction lines. Each fragment of ice had to be manually chipped out, and no large equipment or chemicals could be used for fear it may damage the concrete underneath or compromise food products.
