The Dallas BA offices were severely damaged Feb. 16 by significant flooding resulting from a broken fire sprinkler pipe. The entire lower floor was covered in nearly a foot of water and many portions of the ceiling collapsed under the weight of the onrushing water.
Property Loss Advocates was selected by the Dallas BA’s Board of Directors to manage the rebuilding project. They will be working alongside a task force, chaired by Michael Turner of Classic Urban Homes, to oversee day-to-day aspects. Association member First Response Restoration handled the first stages of the process. Additionally, thanks to help from Tonti Properties, the broken sprinkler pipe that was the culprit for the flooding was repaired by a licensed contractor. Burgess Construction Consultants Inc. donated the use space in Plano as a temporary office for staff.
