Burst Pipe Causes Temporary Closure of Snapdragon Mill Street Oakham
Snapdragon, has announced an emergency closure following a significant plumbing failure that has left the premises severely damaged.
The disaster unfolded when pipes burst in the offices located directly above the shop. Staff arrived to find a "river" flowing through the center of the building. Despite a quick response to locate and turn off the main stopcock, the sheer volume of water had already compromised the structure.
While the initial flood has been mopped up, the aftermath remains critical The upstairs offices have sustained serious impact, and the downstairs ceilings were still dripping late into the day. In a particularly dangerous turn, water was found pouring through light fittings and electrical sockets. For safety reasons, the electricity has been cut off entirely, leaving the building temporarily uninhabitable.
Snapdragon is currently waiting on a formal assessment. A professional assessor is scheduled to visit tomorrow to determine the full scope of the repairs needed and to provide an estimated timeline for reopening.
"It’s a complete disaster," Snapdragon shared, though they expressed gratitude for the quick action taken to mitigate further water damage once the leak was discovered.
Snapdragon will remain closed until further notice. They promised to provide a follow-up update as soon as the assessor provides their report.
