🔧 The Challenge
A commercial property in a hurricane-prone region suffered catastrophic water damage when Hurricane force winds compromised the roof during a major storm. Water intrusion affected 40,000 square feet of office space, threatening $3.5 million in tenant improvements and equipment. The property owner needed immediate emergency response to mitigate damage and prevent mold colonization.
💡 Our Solution
Auxi's 24/7 emergency dispatch mobilized a 12-person water damage restoration team within 30 minutes. The crew arrived on-site within 2 hours with industrial water extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers. Emergency roof tarping was completed within 4 hours to stop active water intrusion. The team worked 24/7 for 5 days to achieve full drying, preventing mold colonization. Complete insurance documentation was provided on-site.
✅ The Outcome
Emergency response was on-site within 2 hours. Water extraction began within 3 hours. Full drying was achieved within 5 days. Zero mold colonization occurred. The property was restored and reoccupied within 45 days. The owner saved an estimated $2.1 million in potential mold remediation and structural damage.
