I have had a carpet cleaning business in Tyler, Texas for the last 6 years. I have been very interested in the restoration business and so when TES had a seminar in Dallas in August of 2009 I just had to attend the meeting. After attending the seminar I was just convinced that I needed to get in the restoration business and saw that TES was the future in the restoration industry. What was amazing is how the TES system and the Reets Drying Academy provide so much support for their TES and ETES owners. At the seminar I actually won a FREE ETES and after using it on a couple of small jobs I just couldn’t believe how effective the ETES was! I was totally convinced and realized I needed the TES trailer. In December of 2009 I pulled the trigger and purchased a TES unit.

In January 2010 - East Texas had a week of extremely cold weather. Due to the weather I received a call on a Saturday evening from a commercial account that I clean carpet for and he stated that his office building had water coming out of the front doors. I was a little intimidated by the call but I told him that I can take a look at it and get started extracting the water from the offices, plus in my mind I can use my TES unit that I just purchased.

What I didn’t realize was that when I arrived at the job the office building was huge! After I walked thru the building with the owner I counted 47 offices and 8,900 sqft that needed to be dried! I was very skeptical, however with the support from James Longley, Stanley Milstead from Interlink Supply and John Otero from TES they guided me on what we needed to get done. They also provided me with additional TES trail units, air movers, and equipment. It took me over 9 hours with 2 truckmounts to just extract the water out of the building. What made it worse in the hallway there were 2 5/8 sheets of gypsum sandwiched together. When the adjuster showed up to take a look at the job, he stated that we needed to cut the dry wall and do a lot of reconstruction. I told him that with the technology of Directed Heat Drying we will have very little reconstruction cost. He stated that he would be surprised if we dried out the structure without cutting the drywall out. Not only was he surprised with the results but that I was definitely on his preferred vendor now for mitigation jobs especially if I could dry structures out this fast.

I had to use 2 TES units, a lot of air movers and only 2 dehumidifiers, by the time we were done the adjuster was shocked that we dried offices with VERY little reconstruction. If it wasn’t for the TES unit there is no way I could have dried out 47 offices in 4 days. Not only that but we were about to save a wood floor in the front lobby where they just spent $26,000 for the wood floor. I forgot to tell you how much I made on my first job with the TES unit - $64,000!!* Plus the adjuster stated that he was going to put us as one of his preferred vendors because he has never seen results like this with new technology of Directed Heat Drying. I am so glad that I invested in TES and just can’t believe the support that I received from TES and Interlink Supply. I am looking at purchasing my second TES unit next month.
