Emergency Drying & Power Response Stabilizes Ohio Distribution Center

When water damage strikes a facility, every hour counts. That was the case at a large distribution warehouse in Ohio, where flooding shut down operations on a Friday evening. Within 48 hours, Garrett McKenzie deployed a full emergency drying and power package, stabilizing the site and keeping business continuity on track. 

The Situation: Water Damage Halts Operations

A sudden flooding event left the warehouse interior saturated, with high humidity levels and millions of cubic feet of air volume to control. Restoration crews were already onsite, but the scale of the loss demanded a larger, faster solution.

Key Challenges:

• Widespread water damage across interior spaces
• Massive cubic footage requiring large-scale drying
• Time-sensitive need to restore stability for operations

The Garrett McKenzie Response

Our team received the call on Saturday and immediately mobilized a 7-member response crew with six fully loaded trucks of equipment. Within hours, the following was deployed:

Dehumidification Equipment

• 10 × 5,000 CFM desiccant dehumidifiers
• 1 × 15,000 CFM desiccant dehumidifier
• 1 × 9,000 CFM desiccant dehumidifier

Temporary Power Solutions

• 1 × 1,000kW (1 megawatt) generator
• 1 × 325kW generator
• 1 × 275kW generator
• 4,400+ ft of power distribution cable

Field Execution

• 17 rolls of layflat ducting (8,500+ ft) distributed throughout interior
• Equipment staged strategically around the perimeter
• Power and drying systems operational in just 30 hours

Results: Mission Ready in Under 48 Hours

By Sunday evening, the warehouse was stabilized and drying was underway. Garrett McKenzie’s rapid response meant:

• Full site stabilization within 48 hours
• Business continuity efforts resumed quickly
