Case Study: PSI Roofing restores operations in a day and captures $250K in business after Hurricane Irma with Datto Networking

Construction Firm Conquers Hurricane Irma in a Day with Datto Networking

PSI Roofing, a Florida construction firm, faced a critical challenge after Hurricane Irma in 2017: although the company had power via a generator, its Internet provider was down, leaving the team unable to receive urgent post-storm work orders during a period of dramatically increased demand. Local MSP Klos Consulting, which serves many construction customers in the region, was called in to help restore connectivity so PSI could continue operations.

Klos deployed a Datto Networking Appliance (DNA) with built‑in router, Wi‑Fi, and 4G LTE failover—provided by Datto’s Disaster Response team—and had PSI back online in about 15 minutes. The solution allowed PSI to capture hundreds of jobs (about 200 work orders in two days versus a normal ten), avoid an estimated $250,000 in lost business, support clients reopening, and maintain reliable Internet service throughout the recovery period.
