Ep 5. Bowled Over

The Salvage Kings are back with another exciting episode and this time, they're taking on a new challenge of salvaging an old bowling alley. The episode titled Bowled Over sees the Salvage Kings, Bryan Baeumler and his team, heading to Waterloo, Ontario for their latest mission.

The abandoned bowling alley is in a state of disrepair, with mold-covered floors, a leaky roof, and vandalized interiors. But Bryan and his team are determined to salvage everything they can from this derelict building and give it a new lease of life. The first step is to clear out years' worth of junk piled up in the alley, including old bowling balls, furniture, and arcade machines.

As they delve deeper into the building, they discover a range of treasures that could fetch a high price, including vintage bowling shoes and an old Brunswick bowling machine. While some items are auctioned off to collectors, others are kept for the renovation of the alley. The team has to be very meticulous in their salvaging process to ensure that what they preserve is ultimately still usable and not simply kept for sentimental reasons.

The Salvage Kings team faces their most challenging salvage to date, as they have to come up with creative solutions to salvage items from the building without compromising the structural integrity of the building. Their salvage mission is not just about finding and preserving items but also ensuring they do not fall apart and become a hazard.

In addition to the challenges of salvaging relics, the team also has to tackle mold remediation and structural repairs. The bowling alley's roof has suffered significant damage from years of neglect and weather exposure. The Salvage Kings have to find a way to repair the leaky roof and make it safe to withstand frequent use by potential renters.

Bowled Over is the ultimate example of how the Salvage Kings can turn an old, abandoned building into a valuable resource that can be part of the community once again. It's an exciting and engaging episode that showcases the Salvage Kings' unique process of salvaging and how they breathe new life into once-forgotten buildings.
