A standout story recalls a Christmas Day flood when a vandal snapped a water dispenser off the wall, inundating the basement. Thanks to pre‐established relationships and rapid mobilization, BMS CAT arrived within hours, contained the water, installed temporary walls, and delivered a turnkey restoration—returning the facility to "like it never happened" in just weeks.
