Incident Overview
On Monday afternoon, Le Petit Café had to close unexpectedly due to a water leak originating from the floors above the shop. Photos shared on discussion boards depicted water streaming down from the ceiling, necessitating immediate closure for repairs.
Repair Process
During the closure, crews were actively engaged in repairing the interior damage. This included work on the drywall and repainting the ceiling to ensure the café could return to its usual high standards. Barricades were placed to obstruct the main entrance, and the repair work lasted for approximately three days.
