Searching for water leaks

You may not realize it, but not all water leaks are easy to trace.

When a large pool of water was discovered in the hallway, housekeeping was called in to clean it up.

Later that day, the water reappeared. So maintenance was called to locate the source. They checked all adjacent plumbing fixtures, the ceiling, and the HVAC system but could not find the leak.

As water continued to be a hazard in the hallway, the customer called SERVPRO of Lawton.

Our team arrived on site and again checked all the typical sources, but could not find a leak.

Utilizing our thermal camera, we detected a small wet spot on the fixed ceiling above the drop ceiling.

Next stop was the roof. After determining where the leak could be in relation to the hallway, our team found a roof drain that was not sealed and was indeed the cause of loss.

The right equipment, together with our expertise, resolved this water damage mystery.
