It started with a roof drain leak. That drain leak at the Duluth, MN Board of Trade Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, soon escalated into water and melted snow running off from the building space above the eighth floor ceiling, saturating the walls down to the first floor.
This was in February 2013, when JP Korpi, owner of Paul Davis Emergency Services, was called upon to perform structural clean-up, property restoration and drying on the building’s carved plaster ceilings and walls.
