Ready For A Blitz

The Countdown Begins


With just 6 days until the Saints playoff game, a hotel in New Orleans experienced water damage from an overflowing toilet on the 17th floor. The hotel was already working overtime to get prepared for a sold out weekend.

Flag on the Play


The water trickled down through the ceiling and walls down to the 10th flood where a large ballroom was located. With the playoff game being so close and the hotel being double booked, they had to have 16 guest rooms and 4 hallways be completely dried out and ready for football fans… which you know they don’t like soggy.. before Friday.

Interception for the Win


Guarantee Restoration received the call on Monday, January 14th at 8:30am. After arriving onsite by 9:00am, Guarantee assessed the damages, got the scope of work and started drilling holes and setting up materials. All drying equipment was set up and scheduled to run for 3 days to complete drying. By the end of the day on January 17th, Guarantee Restoration picked up all equipment to reopen the 16 guest rooms and hallways for the guests coming to stay for the weekend game. The estimate for the job was completed within 2 days of the job being complete.

Post Game Wrap Up



Having the relationship with the property, the insurance company and a dedicated team who care about our clients needs more than our clock out time.


This is another example of why we say 24/7 isn’t just a number… it’s a guarantee.

Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
