165 Hotel Room Water Damage
After a Saturday storm flooded a 4-floor hotel — guest rooms, business center, 200-person meeting facility, and storage rooms — Kowalski crews deployed immediately and worked around the clock. With no service elevator, only 2 guest elevators, and the hotel remaining open throughout, the team brought in a 250 KVW generator, three 5,500 CFM and one 6,000 CFM tractor-trailer desiccants, ran 242 gallons of diesel a day, and maintained 5 full-time security officers. Individual rooms were taken offline as needed due to the extent of damage, but the hotel never closed. The full $976,209 restoration completed on schedule.
