Following a polar vortex that impacted North Texas, a university’s Nursing and Health Sciences facility suffered extreme water damage when a fire suppression line broke and began leaking. As soon as Cotton was called, restoration experts began walking the impacted areas to assess the damage and developed a scope of work. The client’s top priority was to have the facility restored and reopened in time for the new semester. To avoid the icy road conditions and prevent delays, Cotton mobilized its own large loss trailer, allowing crews to access supplies without leaving campus. From extracting the water to removing impacted materials and stabilizing the environment, Cotton worked around the clock to complete restoration in 19 days, in time for the new semester.
