Restoration Drying and Power Rental in Wisconsin

When heavy rains soaked the timber interior of a new residential construction project in northern Wisconsin, crews faced costly delays and potential long-term damage. A local restoration contractor called Garrett McKenzie to provide rapid drying equipment and temporary power solutions that would keep construction moving forward.

The Challenge

Nighttime job setup with limited daylight
Power distribution required across four floors and long hallways
Tight timeline to dry water-damaged timber and supply power for restoration equipment
With construction crews still active on site, safety and careful equipment placement were critical

The project demanded a scalable solution delivered quickly.

The Response

The call came in with urgency: set up drying and power immediately. Garrett McKenzie responded with generators, desiccant dehumidifiers, ducting, and cabling.

Our technicians worked through the night to stage, install, and test all equipment—ensuring crews could resume restoration and construction activities without delay.

The Execution

In just one day, the Garrett McKenzie team:

Delivered 4 large desiccant dehumidifiers (5,000 CFM each)
Installed 2 generators (630 kW & 130 kW)
Connected 4 × 150-amp breakers and 32 stringer boxes
Distributed power across four floors and long corridors
Set up 2,000 feet of lay-flat ducting plus 500 feet of flexible ductwork
By night’s end, all drying and power equipment was fully operational

The Result

Thanks to rapid mobilization and expert installation, the restoration contractor was able to begin drying immediately and power all equipment across four floors.

“Four floors powered and dried in just one day.”

This quick response minimized water damage, prevented costly delays, and kept construction on schedule.
