Big Trouble from this Little Faucet

3/2/2020 (Permalink)

So harmless looking.

Ever think about all the plumbing and fixtures which go into a large building designed for thousands of guests?

Even in new houses/remodels, all the new plumbing in the walls, at the fixtures, etc.

And they either work right, or they don't.  Things happen.

The water supply to this little fixture here almost brought a major, high profile Waco, TX, construction project to its knees, close to the project delivery date.  Yes, it leaked, big time.

SERVPRO of Waco, a restoration company, was brought in for extraction and drying. 

Fortunately, the nearby stairwell and mechanicals (unfortunately) drained the bulk of the water. 

Our job got smaller and smaller as we approached the site.  Still there was work to be done.

Wonder if the custodial staff these days has any idea what happened from this little sink area?
