Kitchen Water Damage

Water damage can strike at any time, whether from storms, burst pipes, leaking appliances, or flooding. When it does, the damage can be extensive and overwhelming. Acting quickly is key to minimizing the destruction and preventing long-term issues like mold growth or structural damage. SERVPRO of South Atlanta specializes in water damage mitigation and restoration services, ensuring that your home or business is restored to its pre-damage condition as efficiently as possible. Here’s how our team handles water damage and why we’re the go-to restoration experts in the South Atlanta area.

Rapid Response and Assessment

Time is critical when dealing with water damage. The longer water is left untreated, the more damage it can cause. At SERVPRO of South Atlanta, we understand the urgency of the situation, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency services. The moment we receive your call, our highly trained technicians mobilize quickly, arriving at your property to assess the extent of the damage.

During the initial assessment, our team identifies the source of the water and the areas affected. We use advanced moisture detection equipment to locate hidden water damage behind walls, in ceilings, and under floors, ensuring that nothing is missed. This thorough inspection allows us to develop a tailored action plan to address the water damage effectively and prevent further issues.

Water Extraction and Removal

Once the damage has been assessed, the next step in the mitigation process is to remove the water as quickly as possible. Standing water can continue to cause damage to floors, walls, and personal belongings, so immediate action is necessary. SERVPRO of South Atlanta uses industrial-grade pumps, vacuums, and extraction units to remove both standing water and any excess moisture from the affected areas.

We handle all types of water damage, from flooding due to heavy rains or plumbing failures to water from leaking appliances or sewage backups. Our equipment is designed to handle large volumes of water quickly and efficiently, reducing the amount of time your property is exposed to water and the likelihood of secondary damage.

Drying and Dehumidification

After the water has been removed, it’s important to begin the drying process right away. Simply extracting the water isn’t enough—moisture can remain trapped in building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, leading to mold growth and weakening of the structure over time. SERVPRO of South Atlanta uses professional-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the affected areas.

We monitor the drying process closely, using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to ensure that all areas are completely dry. This step is crucial for preventing hidden moisture from causing future problems. Our goal is to eliminate every last drop of water to safeguard your property against long-term damage.

Preventing Mold and Secondary Damage

One of the biggest risks of water damage is the potential for mold growth. Mold can develop in as little as 24-48 hours after water damage occurs, especially in areas with high humidity. Mold not only causes further damage to your property but also poses health risks for those exposed to it.

SERVPRO of South Atlanta takes mold prevention seriously. Our team uses advanced cleaning and sanitizing agents to treat areas affected by water damage, reducing the risk of mold spores taking hold. We also use air scrubbers and other specialized equipment to improve air quality and remove any airborne mold spores or contaminants.

By addressing moisture early and thoroughly, we prevent mold from becoming a larger issue and ensure that your property remains safe and healthy.

Restoration and Repair

Once the water has been extracted and the property has been dried, SERVPRO of South Atlanta begins the restoration process. Depending on the extent of the water damage, this could involve anything from minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and flooring, to more extensive reconstruction work.

Our restoration services include:

-Drywall replacement and painting
