A sprinkler pipe on the sixth floor burst, flooding the building with more than 30,000 gallons of water in 7 hours.   With heat and electricity out, ice was forming inside the building.  Water Out trailers provided heat while electricians replaced electrical panels and wiring.  Drying was started immediately.  4 Water Out trailers were brought in to dry 6 floors, including 11 individual units.

The restaurant on the first floor had holiday parties scheduled, and the owner feared being out of business for a week or more.  Water Out had the restaurant dried and back in business in less than a day. 

The entire structure was totally dry in only 9 days.  Only Water Out, using “convectant drying” could have dried so quickly.  Walls, 14-foot ceilings, and even hardwood floors were saved rather than destroyed – and contents were dried in place.

Fast thorough drying by Water Out saved approximately $600,000 in drying time and damage repairs.

A water main burst inside an office building, badly flooding the basement with over 7 feet of water. A national company quoted $350,000 using desiccant dehumidification to dry the building. 

Water Out dried the entire building, including water damaged documents and paper files using only 2 convectant drying trailers.  It took only 10 days to get the large office building totally dry, and it only cost $33,000.

A sprinkler head was damaged and flooded 3 floors of the dormitory. The damage was isolated in several areas so Water Out used low grain refrigerant dehumidifiers.  All carpets were saved and the dormitory was totally dry in only 4 days.  It cost only $13,500.

The air conditioning leaked in the attic and flooded the Town Council chambers.  Water Out dried the water damaged chambers in only 3 days, and it only cost $7,691. 

The summer of 2005 brought total devastation to many residents of the Gulf Coast.   Thousands were left homeless and businesses were severely damaged from multiple hurricanes that traveled through Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. 

Many responded with relief efforts and support to assist in rebuilding these destroyed areas.  Water Out Southern New England was one of the respondents, and we were able to immediately lend a helping hand wherever necessary. 

Here are a few examples of large buildings that we dried out, and how quickly we were able to get them back in business.

96- Unit Condo Complex
350 air movers, 12 Water Out trailers and 5 days of drying expedited the return of 36 families in this 96 unit condo complex.  A roof failure resulted in the flooding of many of the units in this structure.  Hurricane Rita added an extra day of drying as hoses on the trailers were brought inside to avoid any secondary damage from high winds

Delta Software
As Water Out Southern New England was transporting drying equipment from Hurricane Dennis jobsites on the Florida panhandle to Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, the owner of Delta Software followed Water Out for about 40 miles.  At a rest stop, Delta Software hired Water Out to dry their building in Gulfport, Mississippi.  After a roof patch was finished, Water Out had Delta computers dry within 5 days.  During this job, constant neighborhood evacuations were ordered as the military was removing bodies from downtown Gulfport.  Once the delays were over, repairs commenced shortly thereafter. 

Louisiana Real Estate Company
A real estate company in Metairie, Louisiana sustained roof damage during Hurricane Katrina.  After the roof was repaired and contaminated materials were removed, Water Out Southern New England had the building dry in three days, including all their documents.

Oreck Vacuum
In conjunction with Paramount Catastrophe Restoration Services, Water Out had 2,500 Oreck employees back to work  only 2 weeks after Hurricane Katrina heavily damaged the Oreck Vacuum Cleaner plant in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi and other areas of Mississippi’ Gulf Coast.
