Water damage can occur in the blink of an eye from a wide variety of sources. No matter the source, our expert technicians here at SERVPRO of Downtown Atlanta can identify the source and type of water damage that has occurred and promptly work to resolve the issue to restore your home or business to its normal state and give you peace of mind as soon as possible. 

If you are in the unfortunate position that your home or business has suffered any extent of water damage, you must give us a call immediately. At SERVPRO, our highly trained professionals are ready to respond to the situation immediately to remove the water as quickly as possible. Whether coming from a burst pipe or flood moves extremely quickly and can damage an entire building’s contents if not dealt with right away. Chemicals and other contaminants in water can leave surfaces permanently tarnished or stained and can also open up the opportunity for mold and bacteria growth. 

The long term effects of water damage include the increased risk of allergens in the area, mold and bacteria growth, as well as an unpleasant odor. Standing water in any location left unattended can also create issues within your property by warping floors, splitting frames, and leading to structural failure. Give us a call immediately and let the experts here at SERVPRO of Downtown Atlanta ensure your home or business is properly inspected, repaired, and restored to prevent extensive damage. If you’re able to identify water damage quickly, our trained water damage professionals being on the scene within the first few hours will help greatly reduce the cost, the time needed, and the extent of work required to repair and restore your home or business. 

There may be times when water damage may not be apparent as the source may not be visible until it’s too late. Even the smallest leak can turn into a huge problem if left unattended and unnoticed for long enough. 

Firstly when dealing with any water damage, we ensure all areas are properly dried. We use a variety of equipment depending on the scope of the water damage from air movers to dehumidifiers to force dry any affected areas so that they may be properly cleaned and repaired and to minimize further damage. When you give our water damage professionals here at SERVPRO a call, we will first identify and stop the source of water on the scene, determine the level of damage and contamination, and begin the drying and repair process. By quickly removing all moisture from the premises, the chance for mold and bacteria growth is greatly limited as well as the potential for any further damage by standing water to be caused.
