Did your dishwasher overflow? Did your water heater malfunction? Is your toilet causing the water damage issue? There are a plethora of reasons why you may be dealing with water damage in Atlanta, and the first action you should take is finding out what that is and stopping it. You may have to do something as simple as shutting off a valve under your kitchen sink to something more complicated like closing down the water main to your home to stop all the water from coming in. The sooner you can stop the water, the less clean up you're going to have on your hands.

One of the biggest concerns that come from water sitting in your home is it coming in contact with your electricity in one way or another. When it does, it increases the risk of electrocution to you and your family. So, before that can happen, we are going to suggest that you shut off your electricity if you can safely do so. If you have to walk through water to get to your box or if you aren't sure exactly what to do, just leave it alone and call an electrician. It might cost you a bit more, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

While the majority of your water extraction is going to be done with our specialized tools and equipment, you can start trying to soak up some of the mess while you wait. Use towels or a mop to try and absorb as much of the water as you can safely. Again, if you aren't sure if you should enter an area due to electrical or other safety concerns, leave it until our experts get there and can decide. If you have furniture, appliances, rugs, or other belongings that haven't yet been affected by the water damage, get them out of the way. You can prop up your furniture or move everything as far away from the water soaked area as possible. Only do this if you can do so without injuring yourself trying to move something that is heavier than what you can handle.
