Call SERVPRO of South Atlanta is your home or business suffers water damage. We make water damage "Like it never even happened."

While water damage is something that no homeowner would like to experience, unfortunately, it is something that many people will have to deal with at some point or another. Water is a powerful force, and over time, it can make its way into a variety of areas and create little leaks that can cause big issues.

If you suspect you have water damage on your hands, knowing what to do about it is key. Acting fast is one of the best ways to reduce the damage that water can cause in your home, as any issues will become exacerbated with time.

So, how do you know when to call in a professional to take a look at your water damage? Watch out for the tell-tale signs listed below.

How Will I Know if I Should Call in Professionals for My Water Damage?

| You Suspect Mold is Growing | While water damage is inconvenient by itself, mold growth can make any issue far worse for your household. Mold is linked to serious health effects, and to properly get rid of it, you have to get a professional mold remediation team on the case. Signs of mold include musty odors and discoloration that appears to be getting larger with time, so if you notice any of these, be sure to call in a professional.

| You Have a Hunch About Hidden Water Damage | Water damage can hide in a variety of places, and not all of them will be immediately evident. Because water damage is so sneaky, it can be hidden behind walls, under appliances and in the structural elements of a home. Professional water restoration teams will come equipped with moisture detection equipment so they can determine exactly where the water damage might be hiding.

| You Have a Basement or Crawlspace With Moisture Issues | Unfortunately, because water can work its way into the tiniest of areas, water damage can return time and time again. If you are struggling with water damage around your home’s foundation, having it properly handled is a must—not only can this impact the structural integrity of your home, but it can also lead to a repeat issue if it is not handled properly the first time.
