Emergency Drying & Power Response: Manufacturing Facility Restoration in Ohio

When severe water damage strikes a manufacturing facility, every hour of downtime impacts production, revenue, and employee safety.

That’s why restoration professionals across the country turn to Garrett McKenzie for fast, reliable emergency drying and temporary power solutions.

This recent project in Ohio is a clear example of our ability to mobilize at a moment’s notice and deliver results that get businesses back online faster.

The Situation

On a late Wednesday evening, a manufacturing facility reported significant water damage. Restoration contractors were already on-site, but the scope of damage demanded large-scale dehumidification and reliable power distribution — immediately.

The challenge was complex:

• Severe interior water damage
• A large facility with extensive shelving and infrastructure
• Time-sensitive response to minimize downtime

The Response

Within hours of the call, Garrett McKenzie had a pre-loaded emergency response trailer, a second truck, and three experienced technicians on the road.

Crews arrived before 6 a.m., staging equipment and preparing ducting and cabling before sunrise.

Key equipment deployed included:

• Dehumidification: Three 5,000 CFM desiccant dehumidifiers and one 9,000 CFM desiccant unit
• Temporary Power: One 365kW generator and one 275kW generator, complete with power distribution cables and accessories
• Logistics: 2.5-ton and 21’ rollback trucks for rapid transport

Our technicians handled installation, equipment sizing, setup, and full project management, ensuring a smooth and safe deployment under high-pressure conditions.

The Execution

By morning, more than 24,000 CFM of dehumidified air was flowing into the facility. Generators powered the drying equipment reliably, accelerating recovery efforts and giving the restoration contractor a clear path forward.

The combination of drying and temporary power — delivered together by one partner — eliminated the delays that often come from coordinating multiple vendors.

The Result

Thanks to Garrett McKenzie’s 24/7 emergency response, the facility’s restoration timeline was shortened significantly.

With the right equipment and expertise on-site before dawn, the contractor could move quickly, stabilize conditions, and begin the restoration process without delay.

Our nationwide fleet, specialized technicians, and restoration-first mindset make us a trusted partner for emergency response contractors and facility managers alike.
