ATI Restoration, LLC.

Scope Of Work

THE CHALLENGE

A 20-story hotel in Houston suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Ike, including wind and flood damage to elevators, hallways, and 70% of the 350 guest rooms sustaining water damage, impacting their ability to remain operational.

THE OUTCOME

ATI reopened the hotel, under budget and ahead of schedule. Immediately assessed with state-of-the-art thermography equipment and moisture meters, ATI utilized desiccant technology, targeted water removal, air-filtration devices, and mold remediation strategically during recovery, while working in conjunction with elevator professionals.

THE SITUATION

ATI was instrumental in helping the 20-story hotel in Houston, Texas recover after Hurricane Ike. Winds ripped the roof off the hotel’s elevator pits, causing flooding and damage to the elevators, pits, waiting areas, hallways and guest rooms on every floor. Window gaskets blew off, and 70 percent of the 350 guest rooms sustained water damage.

THE SOLUTION

ATI dried out the complex elevator system using desiccant technology, reducing the need for drywall removal and saving the hotel months of business disruption. ATI installed air-filtration devices to promote air circulation and prevent microbial growth; worked with Otis elevator technicians to clean doors, drywall and tracking; and deployed special drying equipment to remove moisture. ATI also performed mold remediation.
