Fire Suppression Damaged Ceiling

The fire department’s fire suppression flooded the top floor of this home during a roof fire. As the water drained through the structure, all drywall ceilings and walls were water damaged as a result. The photos explain our work from the initial site arrival to the final work we completed in the living room. Photos show the Bluewater Team taking baseline readings, removing contents, light fixtures, drywall, and insulation to complete the structural drying. Upon reaching a dry standard, the structure received a specialty odor inhibiting coating, and the drywall was repaired.
