When disaster strikes, the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently can make all the difference. This was precisely the case when a mid-sized condo complex in the picturesque Hudson Valley, New York region faced a daunting challenge in early August 2023. Intense flooding and rainfall had left over 70% of the complex damaged and in need of extensive repairs. Mold was a real threat, and time was of the essence. Enter GO MINI'S Portable Storage, a vital partner in turning the tide for this condo complex restoration project.
Disaster Recovery Challenges for Property Managers:
The condo complex had suffered substantial loss and damage due to the relentless forces of nature. Property managers were confronted with the daunting task of emptying the damaged units quickly to prevent the spread of mold. Meanwhile, a reputable local restoration company needed a secure place to store all the furniture while they tackled the abatement, mitigation, and remodeling phases of the project. The property management team faced a tight timeline and required more than 15 storage units within a two-to-three-day delivery window. Complicating matters further, the complex was challenging to access because a major state road had been shut down due to flood damage.
The Solution:
In times of crisis, a reliable partner can make all the difference. GO MINI'S Portable Storage stepped up to the plate by coordinating the delivery of 16 spacious 16-foot units within an impressive three-day timeframe. What's more, GO MINI'S went above and beyond by positioning these units in strategic locations that ensured the easiest access and convenience. This was no small feat, as the complex presented narrow roadways, tight parking spots, and homeowner cars that other companies had refused to navigate.
The restoration company wasted no time transitioning into their abatement and restoration program, thanks to GO MINI'S timely delivery. Over 16,000 square feet of space in these portable containers allowed them to securely store furniture and belongings, providing peace of mind to the homeowners who were often displaced during the restoration process.
The Outcome:
The success of this restoration project can be attributed, in no small part, to the reliability and adaptability of GO MINI'S Portable Storage. Not only did they meet the tight deadlines set by the property management team, but they also made on-the-fly adjustments to benefit both the property management and restoration company operations without compromising the limited space within the condo complex.
Homeowners were able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their cherished belongings were safe and secure nearby throughout the restoration journey. With a sense of security provided by GO MINI'S, the restoration proceeded seamlessly, ultimately returning the condo complex to its former glory.
