Venturi Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:VTIX - news), a carpet cleaning and restoration
company located in Utah, Texas and California, had trucks rolling within minutes of a tornado touchdown in Salt Lake City, on Aug. 11,
1999.
The F2 tornado's destruction created millions of dollars in property damage with insurance disaster teams inspecting more than 1,000 homes and vehicles.
Venturi's restoration services involve cleaning up after natural disasters, broken water pipes, flooded basements or sewer backups. Venturi is in demand because of their ability to
disinfect problem areas without the use of toxic chemicals. Restoration crews are capable of repairing sheet-rock, wiring, painting, flooring, and other general construction services.
With estimates exceeding $150 million in damage, Venturi has plenty of opportunities to keep busy.
''The crisis required immediate response from our Salt Lake base and from our Orem base,'' said Gordon Varney, general manager of Venturi Restoration.
''When you can supply twenty trucks and fifty people to a problem, results are dramatic. The biggest benefit we provide is the ability to help homeowners get their homes repaired as
quickly as possible. We take away a lot of stress,'' added Varney.
Although Venturi's main focus is carpet cleaning, we have established restoration bases in Salt Lake City, and Orem, and in Dallas. These restoration bases resulted from company
acquisitions that were doing both carpet cleaning and restoration work.
