• Drying and dehumidification with high-powered air movers and professional dehumidifiers to eliminate trapped moisture.
• Removal of unsalvageable materials when necessary to prevent further damage and support a safe restoration.

• HEPA air filtration and HEPA vacuuming to capture airborne particles, improve indoor air quality, and support a cleaner restoration environment.

Our technicians use specialized equipment to detect these issues, address the source of moisture, and confirm that your property meets industry drying and restoration standards.

Throughout the restoration process, we keep you informed and work with your insurance provider when needed to help make the experience as smooth as possible. Before completing the job, we verify that your property is clean, dry, and ready for the next stage of repairs or occupancy.

Most Common Reasons For Water Damage In Your Property

Water damage can happen without warning and often worsens if it is not addressed quickly. Understanding the most common causes can help you identify problems early and reduce the risk of costly repairs.

Some of the most frequent sources of water damage include:

• Severe storms and flooding that allow rainwater to enter through damaged roofs, windows, or foundations, leading to interior flooding.
• Overflowing sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and washing machines caused by clogs, equipment failures, or accidental overflows that can damage flooring, drywall, and personal belongings.
• Leaking pipes and plumbing supply lines, including hidden leaks inside walls or beneath concrete slabs, which can cause structural damage and create conditions for mold growth.
• Frozen or burst pipes during cold weather, when water expands inside plumbing lines and causes pipes to crack or rupture.
• Appliance and water heater failures, including leaking dishwashers, refrigerators, water heaters, and other water-connected appliances that can release large amounts of water unexpectedly.

No matter the cause, prompt water extraction, drying, and restoration are essential to minimize damage, prevent mold growth, and restore your property as quickly as possible.

Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts

While addressing water damage repair in North Metro Atlanta remains a top priority, ensuring the safety of our customers and technicians takes precedence as our primary goal. The following tips aim to minimize the risk of setbacks caused by rain events, floods, roof leaks, or malfunctioning plumbing or AC units.

What To Do:

• Shut Off Your Water: Turn off the home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Extra Careful: Watch your step as floors become slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed wiring.
• Remove Excess Water: Mop up as much water as possible. In colder weather, open windows to speed drying. In hot weather, switch on your air conditioner, if safe.
• Upholstery Should Be Propped Up: Any loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out any area rugs and pick up all items that may be sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Storage containers like wet suitcases and storage bins should be opened and dried in the sunlight, if possible.
• Protect Your Valuables: Artwork, collectibles, and other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all wet clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Protect Your Furniture: Place aluminum foil or plastic under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but don’t force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry the inside.
• Contact PuroClean North Metro Atlanta ASAP: Call PuroClean North Metro Atlanta to reach experienced technicians who are highly trained in water damage and are ready and waiting to come to you.

• Do Not Touch Outlets or Plugs: Don’t plug or unplug any electrical appliances or touch anything plugged in.
• Do Not Operate Electrical Appliances: Don’t use TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any electrical appliances, especially while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly concrete or tile floors.
• Do Not Turn Up the Heat: Keep interiors as cold as possible, as mold grows with heat and moisture.
