Large College Gym Suffers Hard Rain Damage

SERVPRO of Ocala crews were called out when this local large college gymnasium was flooded when strong winds and heavy rains covered the Marion County Florida areas. The college was having their gym commercial roof replaced. The roofers had left for the weekend and had placed plastic tarps and sand bags to cover the roof where they had not finished. No one ever thought a sudden rain storm so violent would dump tons of water so fast. Theses types of rain events are common in Florida moving fast but bring heavy rains and winds. Many other buildings in Ocala Florida were damaged that same night. Its just unfortunate that the roof of this college gym was not finished and the strong winds blew the tarps and moved the sand bags to allow much water to get inside and onto the Gym wood floors.
