What happens

For a smoother recovery, we meter the room that reported, then the rooms above and below it, and check the plumbing chase with a thermal imaging camera.
For a smoother recovery, affected room numbers are blocked in your system and keys are stopped so nobody walks a guest into a work zone.
For a smoother recovery, we agree with your general manager which rooms are attacked first, usually the highest rate inventory and anything committed to a group.
From cleanup toward a fresh start, loud stages such as extraction and demolition are scheduled inside windows your front desk approves.
From cleanup toward a fresh start, walkways get protection, cords are taped and ramped, and signage goes up where a floor is wet.

With clear direction, a box spring, headboard, drapery and case goods in every room means triage repeated room by room.
