Water damage can happen in many strange and different ways. Pipes break, roofs fail, sump pumps stop working during heavy rains, appliances malfunction. But a pipe damaged by gunfire?

That’s what happen when an altercation got out of hand at an apartment complex in Columbia Heights in early January. It’s not known exactly what caused the disagreement between two people that knew each other, but when gunfire erupted one of the bullets struck a water line causing it to burst and allowing water to flood four floors of the Capitol View Apartments.

Carpet was saturated and ceilings partially collapsed as water rushed through apartments and all the way down to the lobby. Water removal and drying was started in the common areas but individuals were told to contact their own insurance companies concerning damage to their apartments and belongings. The Elevate Gym on the ground floor had up to a foot of standing water in it, forcing its temporary closure.

Water Mold Fire Restoration of Washington D.C. has witnessed some strange causes of water damage through the years. But this one will be talked about for some time. You can be as careful and responsible as you can to avoid water damage, but some events just can’t be planned for.
