Water Damage Restoration in North Atlanta, GA

Who Handles Water Damage Restoration in North Atlanta?

Fresh Cleaning Solutions does water damage restoration for North Atlanta homes in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Peachtree Corners. We answer 24 hours a day, extract the water, dry the house with air movers and dehumidifiers, and keep checking with moisture meters until every wet material reads dry.

We are an air quality company first, and that changes how we handle water. Wet drywall, soaked carpet pad and a damp crawl space are exactly what mold needs. The job is not done when the floor looks dry. It is done when the readings say dry and nothing is left behind to grow.

What Should You Do Before We Get There?

If water is coming in right now, these steps keep it from spreading while we are on the way:

1. Stop the water. Close the main water valve or the valve at the leaking fixture.
2. Stay safe around power. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or cords. Shut off power to wet rooms at the breaker only if you can reach it safely.
3. Lift what you can. Get rugs, electronics, papers and photos off the wet floor.
4. Take photos of the water and anything damaged, for your own records.
5. Call (678) 609-8713. Any hour, any day.

Skip the household vacuum on wet carpet, and do not crank the heat to dry things out. Heat without air movement and dehumidifiers can make the moisture problem worse.

How Do We Dry Out a North Atlanta Home?

Every water damage job follows the same steps, so nothing gets sealed up wet:

• Find the source and map the moisture. We confirm the leak is stopped, then use moisture meters to see how far the water traveled into floors, walls and the crawl space.
• Extract the water. Standing water comes out of floors and carpet first. The more we pull out now, the faster everything dries.
• Save the carpet when we can. We dry carpet and pad in place when they can be saved and remove soaked pad when they cannot.
• Set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the space, to push water out of wet materials and pull it out of the air.
• Sanitize the affected areas so the water does not leave odors or bacteria behind.
• Re-check until dry. The equipment stays until the readings show the materials are dry.

The EPA says water-damaged areas should be dried within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. That is why every water call gets treated as an emergency. You get a flat rate quoted up front, with no hidden fees.

Why Does Water Damage Turn Into Mold So Fast Up Here?

North Atlanta is damp ground. The Chattahoochee River runs along Roswell, Sandy Springs and Johns Creek, and the creeks and wooded lots around it keep crawl spaces damp from June through September. Wet materials dry slowly on their own in that air.

The houses add to it. Much of the housing around the Perimeter went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and a lot of it still runs on the original ductwork, often through the crawl space. When a leak reaches the crawl space, the HVAC system can pull that damp, musty air into every room.

So once your home is dry, we look for anywhere mold could start and tell you exactly what we see. If something smells musty after the water is gone, book mold testing in North Atlanta. If mold is already growing, our mold remediation removes it and fixes the moisture. If the crawl space keeps getting wet, crawl space encapsulation or a crawl space dehumidifier keeps it dry.
