Burst pipes causes flooding in Eastpointe womens shelter

On Monday, an Eastpointe shelter that serves young, at-risk mothers experienced major flooding after pipes burst in their facility. Joella Bush, the director of Gianna House says the frozen and busted forced all the women to leave. "As you can see this area was also completely flooded," she said. The flooding came from pipes on the third floor. "I was able to speak to the fire department. They said that there are hundreds of gallons of water that, at the time, was being dumped into our facility. He described them as being waterfalls throughout the building." Bush says the break isn’t from the plumbing But the fire suppression system and the aging infrastructure.
