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.

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.

When Every Minute Counts: Why Pre-Loss Planning Is Essential

By Zack Klein • May 5, 2026
Pre-loss planning is not flashy or attention grabbing until you’re standing in the middle of a disaster and wondering what happened and what happens next. At Guarantee Restoration Services, it is one of the most important conversations we can have with our partners and clients, because preparation can mean the difference between complete chaos or a controlled situation. What Is Pre-Loss Planning? This service our team offers is exactly what it sounds like. It’s putting a plan in place before something goes wrong. Whether it’s a fire, a severe storm, or a flood, the first few hours matter more than anything. Decisions are made quickly, vendors are being called, and people are trying to figure out who is responsible for what and where. Without a proper plan in place, that moment is stressful, delayed, and more expensive than it needs to be. We have seen it firsthand, time and time again, those properties that have a solid pre-loss plan in place recover faster, experience less downtime, and have a much smoother path to normalcy. Properties that don’t have a plan are left to react instead of responding.
