Bathroom Leak Update

Hello, fellow TBS congregants
As you are aware, our building has been essentially closed since Bill Cadwallender’s Bar Mitzvah. As Buildings and Grounds chair, I have been the lead on what’s been going on and it’s my job to report to you.
Just before the Bar Mitzvah began, a water leak was reported in the women’s restroom. I went in, turned the water to the 2 stalls off, had a sign made redirecting use to the men’s restroom, and continued the ceremony, only 1-1/2 minutes late.
Religious school cancelled, there was no more that could be done.
I returned Monday, and the water had spread to the men’s restroom and hallway. I purchased a water vac, used it and shut the building water down.
I called 4 plumbers before I got one to show. He worked for about 3-1/3 hours, and next day a locating service came to find the leak, which is under the floor.
The work is to begin Thursday 02/23 morning, weather permitting.
Al Steinberg
