So I've been working at a new construction, installing a Lifeline system ("help, I've fallen and can't get up"). Part of the system is putting emergency pull cords in the bathrooms. Now, being new construction, there's alot of dust and other crap to be cleaned out of the new apartments, and with them expecting the first move-ins in just a couple weeks, they have a large cleaning crew in there, so what's been happening is several times each day, I get a page (our system is live right now) that a cord has been pulled in an apartment. This afternoon, right about quitting time, I get two pages, apartments on the same wing, almost across from each other. Go check the first one, someone tripped it, reset it, and it's fine. Go check the second, and when I go to reset, it feels wet. Reset did not work, so I trip it again, nothing. I pull the face plate off, and can see water inside, which should not have happened. Start noticing, water drips everywhere, even the wallboard feels wet. It looks like the cleaning crew, in a rush to finish the room today, simply took the shower hose, and hosed down everything, then turned on the heat light thinking that would dry everything out.
I reported it to the Project Superitendent, should find out tommorow what happens.
