Let’s paint the scene for this case study. Imagine a disgruntled former employee plotting revenge against their former employer. Their decision? Dump three containers of glue throughout a warehouse. But not just little containers of Elmer’s glue; this was 7,500 pounds of glue mixed with a whole lot of water from a sink that was stopped up and ran overnight. Glue covered about 40% of the building, or about 3,000 square feet – including the warehouse and four offices. The layer of glue was more than inch thick. The next morning, a local ServiceMaster got the call for help.
“We get odd calls from time to time – such as skunk odors and deer running into stores and bleeding everywhere,” explained Derrick Rushing, owner of ServiceMaster of Northeast Louisiana. While Rushing admitted their bread and butter is mitigation, they have done all sorts of unique jobs, and were up for the challenge.
