Call on SERVPRO for Quality Restoration Services after You Discover Water Damage

Water loss events in Atlanta require a specialized approach to ensure that the cleanup and remediation is thorough and meets industry standards. Failing to find and evacuate all the water or permitting building materials to remain damp leads to secondary damage. Our experienced team has the training and the experience to respond appropriately and comprehensively the first time.

Typical causes of water damage in Atlanta are not particularly dramatic and rarely make the news. For example, homeowners do not notice a small leak in the kitchen or bathroom, and the cabinetry or vanity conceal the harm done to walls or floors. Finally, saturated drywall or the ceiling below starts to bulge or stain, making it clear trouble lurks in hidden places. Our water damage remediation crews are familiar with this slowly accumulating damage and have effective strategies to find and resolve the leak before moving on to removing pockets of water and using our inventory of equipment to dry out the affected areas.

Water removal and drying are not always straightforward in these cases. The SERVPRO crew assigned to your home employs advanced technology like moisture sensors and thermal cameras that detect the water built up between walls, under floorboards, or in ceilings. Our IICRC certified technicians use powerful extraction tools to suction water out of recesses, removing small sections of walls, temporarily pulling off kick plates, or carefully breaking a hole in a ceiling for access if necessary. Water accumulating in several levels of flooring responds well to drying mats, and we may lift selected planks or other coverings to ensure the subfloor also has water released and removed.

Once our technicians eliminate the pockets of water, we concentrate on drying soaked building materials and fixtures. SERVPRO hosts a full inventory of industrial-strength air movers, heaters, and desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers to swiftly reduce the moisture content in walls, cabinets, floors, and more. Throughout the process we monitor the efficiency of our work with tools like thermohygrometers, keeping us apprised of the relative air humidity, remaining moisture in the structure, and temperature to inform our positioning of equipment and power level selection to dry out your home following industry standards.

SERVPRO of Southwest Cobb / Cascade looks forward to helping you untangle the mystery of hidden water damage, and then restore your home to preloss condition. Call (770) 739-2355 to schedule an evaluation and begin the process of water loss remediation.
