#Damage Caused

The hot water system burst inside the unit, spilling water into a small hallway, and two bedrooms. As a result, the carpet and underlay were wet completely in the hallway, one third in the guest bedroom and along the wall in the main bedroom. As a result, these are the steps we took to remediate the problem:

#Steps

03
