Keep yourself and your family safe first. Turn off power to wet areas only if you can reach the breaker without standing in water. Stop the water source if possible, move valuables to a dry spot, and take photos of the damage for your insurance claim. Then call us to begin water removal.

Most homes take three to five days to dry completely. The exact time depends on how much water entered, how long it sat, and which materials got wet. Hardwood floors and concrete may take longer. We check moisture levels each day and only remove our equipment once everything is dry.

Small leaks of clean water can sometimes be handled with towels and fans. Floodwater from storms, rivers, or sewer backups is different. It often carries bacteria and chemicals that are unsafe to touch. Household fans also cannot reach moisture trapped inside walls and subfloors, which can lead to mold and structural damage later.

Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours, so we start drying right away. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, remove materials that cannot be saved, and apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces. Moisture meters help us confirm that no damp areas are left behind.

It depends on where the water came from. Standard homeowners policies usually cover sudden events like a burst pipe but often exclude flooding from heavy rain or rising water. That type of damage is typically covered by separate flood insurance, such as a policy through the National Flood Insurance Program. We document the damage and can work directly with your insurance adjuster.

We provide flood damage restoration throughout Bartow County, including Adairsville, Emerson, Euharlee, Kingston, and White. We also serve nearby communities across northwest Georgia. Call us to confirm service at your address.
