Frequently Asked Questions
About Property Restoration
We serve Lawrenceville, Grayson, Snellville, Suwanee, Dacula, Loganville, and other nearby communities in Gwinnett County. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call!
Drying time varies, but most basements take 3–5 days using industrial air movers and dehumidifiers. We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure complete drying and prevent secondary damage.
It depends on the cause. Most policies cover water damage from sudden incidents (like pipe bursts), but not from gradual leaks or groundwater flooding unless you have flood insurance. We’ll help document damage and work with your insurance provider.
We use professional moisture meters and thermal imaging technology to detect hidden moisture in drywall, flooring, and framing. This prevents missed water pockets that could lead to mold or structural issues later on.
Immediately turn off electricity to the affected area (if it’s safe), avoid walking through standing water, and call a professional like PuroClean of Lawrenceville. We respond 24/7 with water extraction and structural drying services to prevent mold and permanent damage.
Mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours of water exposure. That’s why our team uses advanced drying equipment and moisture meters to ensure every area is completely dry—especially in Georgia’s humid climate.
First, avoid electrical hazards. If water is pooling, don’t walk through it and shut off power to the affected area. Never use a regular vacuum or turn on any electrical devices in standing water. Keep children and pets away from floodwater, especially if it might be sewage- or chemical-contaminated. Once power and water are off, begin only safe steps (like mopping up reachable water) and call professionals. PuroClean crews follow strict safety protocols (using protective gear and proper sanitization) to handle contaminated water and structural damage, so it’s safest to let them manage the cleanup and repairs
Watch for warning signs of leaks and pressure issues. Unexplained puddles, water stains on walls or ceilings, or pooling water under sinks all suggest a hidden leak or pinhole in a pipe. Listen for unusual sounds such as hissing or gurgling in the plumbing, or sudden drops in water pressure, which can indicate a compromised pipe. Discolored or rusty water from taps and strange odors (like rotten eggs) are also red flags. If you notice any of these signs in your Lawrenceville property, turn off the water and call PuroClean right away for an inspection — catching the problem early can prevent a full pipe rupture.
Restoration experts use heavy-duty gear that goes well beyond consumer appliances. They deploy high-capacity water pumps and vacuum extractors to remove hundreds of gallons quickly, plus powerful air movers and commercial dehumidifiers to dry the space efficiently. To find hidden moisture, technicians use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, which can detect wet areas inside walls and under. This equipment moves 10–20 times more air than a household fan and pulls moisture out faster, preventing mold growth. Finally, they clean and sanitize surfaces with EPA-approved solutions. By using these specialized tools and methods, professionals like PuroClean ensure a thorough restoration that DIY methods cannot achieve
