It appears we located the source for the smell and the smoke.
01:21
We isolated to the drop ceiling.
01:25
In the shower of unit 309 below unit 409, there's a gap between the floors.
01:32
And it appears there might have been a plumber working upstairs, flooding pipe,
01:37
and some heat got into the pipes and maybe started a little bit, something in that drop ceiling between the floors.
01:44
We've been hitting it with the power, with the PW.
