ServiceMaster Recovery Systems recently did a water intrusion clean up at Disney's Wide World of Sports. The water event took place at the soon to be completed Jostens Center. This building is set to hold up to 10 basketball courts and several volleyball courts for daily use. The Jostens Center floor covering is made of wood floor planks throughout the entire structure.
The evening prior to our service call, the Orlando area was pounded with heavy storm activity with large amounts of rain recorded. The Jostens Center was affected by the storms when wind blown rain made its way through door openings throughout the center and water penetrated the newly laid wood flooring. Water was not only visible on the wood floor surface but also below the wood floor surface. ServiceMaster Recovery Systems was subsequently called out by the General Contractor to clean the water and save the wood flooring.
Once we arrived on the job, we immediately tested for water damage throughout the building. It was quickly determined that the water was primarily contained to about a 30-60 SF area around all the openings to the building. Using water meter penetrations, we also determined moisture was below the surface of the wood floor. With the use of high speed fans, several large dehumidifiers and thermal imaging camera work we were able to dry out the affected areas and save the wood floors. It is safe to say that if the wood floors needed replacement the costs would have exceeded hundreds of thousands of dollars. Needless to say that everyone involved was extremely happy with the results.
