In preparation for an inspection by the Center for Medicare and MedicaidServices (CMS), a Texas hospital contacted Cotton to deep clean their main kitchen of approximately 25,000 sqft. While Cotton worked to complete the job, the hospital requested an additional 1,000,000 sqft be cleaned, including patient rooms, common areas, and bathrooms. To ensure the hospital remained 100% operational throughout the entire process, Cotton worked overnight, performed dishwashing services offsite, and provided a supplemental cleaning crew as needed.

In the wake of a major winter storm event hitting the gulf coast, a residential multifamily complex suffered from extensive frozen and ruptured water pipes resulting in major damage to the entire facility. Cotton received the call during the midst of the storm but successfully mobilized crews within 24-hours while most of Central Texas was still sidelined by ice and outages.

Immediately the Cotton GDS team began to extract all remaining water and drying affected materials. Due to the large scope of damage, we also coordinated massive demolition and waste removal across all four floors and within multiple common areas and offices. Given the residential component, Cotton also facilitated content manipulation for affected residents. Ultimately, we were able to complete the mitigation process under deadline and without removal of any tenants. As a result, the Cotton team was asked to coordinate full-scale restoration and construction to begin returning the entire complex to pre-loss condition.

Following a disastrous winter storm event in the Southern U.S., an office complex housing a major property management group had multiple extensive pipe freeze ruptures causing severe hazards across the facility.

Immediately our crews began to remediate water damaged areas in a food court, service hall, mail room, conference room and engineer’s office. Once moisture levels had returned to the dry standard and the destroyed materials had been removed, our construction and restoration specialists moved in to begin getting areas back to pre-loss condition. Ultimately, Cotton Global Disaster Solutions was able to turnkey this facility from restoration to rebuild, under our initial 6 week estimate, allowing operation to resume with minimal interruption.

After a major winter storm event along the gulf coast, a senior living facility with three separate properties experienced severe water damage. Given the sensitive nature of the residence, the Cotton GDS management team mobilized crews the moment they received the call and were able to reach the site in less than 24 hours. Immediately we began a full-service water restoration and remediation protocol to get residents back safely in their homes as quickly as possible.

Once our crew had surveyed the site, we began extracting all remaining standing water and moisture mapping the affected areas. When finished, we detail -cleaned all affected rooms to ensure a completely clean atmosphere and living environment. As a result, Cotton was able to successfully provide a complete restoration after only 6 weeks with zero delays.
