Fox 6 has an update on the restoration work going at Salvatore’s/Papa Luigi’s II in South Milwaukee.
You’ll recall that a pipe burst last week and caused extensive damage. Sal is working hard reopen, and I wish him the best.
From the story …
Even though Sal Purpora tried to stay positive, his nearly 50,000 square foot Papa Luigi’s restaurant was under water after a pipe burst in the restaurant’s sprinkler system — and crews were busy cleaning up what was estimated to cost half a million dollars.
It happened on Thursday, January 9th — and the restaurant is expected to be closed for one to three months.
“It’s unbelievable the stress. (The damage) could go up to $700,000,” Purpora said.
Adding to the stress is the fact that Purpora’s insurance adjuster couldn’t come out to check out the damage until four days after the fact.
Mike Wyne’s Fire and Water Restoration Company was hired to clean up Papa Luigi’s, and he says to ease your worries, it’s important to know exactly what you’re paying for, and what coverage you’re getting.
Fortunately, Papa Luigi’s will be covered fully.
“I can’t wait to open up those doors and say ‘hey, how you doin’” Purpora said.
Experts advise it is important to make sure you’re doing your preventative maintenance checks which could be the difference in hundreds or thousands of dollars in damage.

Water damage sucks because it doesn’t take much to cause a big costly mess as it swells up the wood floors and leaches up the drywall/plaster. Just glad to hear that they have insurance that will cover it. And to make things more stressful an insurance adjuster that doesn’t show up until 4 days later?? Wish I knew what company that was so I’d be sure not to ever use them.
