     One of the worst things that any Atlanta area homeowner can experience is to walk into their home after a day at work or a week away and find the basement or entire home flooded.  A lot of times we worry about flooding that comes inside the home from outside, but often the water eminates from burst pipes inside the home.  It is so important to know what to do as soon as you encounter the water damage so that you take quick steps to salvage property and stop the further ruining of your home.

1. Find the source of the leak and stop it - even if it means turning off the main water valve
2. find towels and preferably a wet dry vac and dry up the visible standing water
3. CALL A PRO!  The water you cant see is probably the most dangerous to the structure of the home from a rot perspective - visit www.advancedprsofatlanta.com for a qualified local provider.
4. Call your insurance company, take many pictures.

Taking swift action can help mitigate the damage to property and to structure and save $ and time needed for repairs to get the home back to like it was before the flood.  Though often flooding and water damage is unavoidable, the clean up is controllable - use a professional water and fire damage firm to get your family on the track to normalcy again.

     Have you ever been confronted with water in the basement or pouring in from your walls or roof?  If you have, then you know how devastating it can be, and downright scary as well.  Water is one of the most powerful elements around, and its strength make it a great nuiscance to get rid of.  Water Damage goes far beyond the standing water that is easily visible to the naked eye, the real issue comes with the water that has seeped into crawl spaces, or that has dampened important structural elements of the home, or that has even come to rest behind walls or under floors where mold and mildew will soon set in.  Unfortunately, many homeowners in the Atlanta Metro area only concern themselves with the puddle they can spot easily, and because of this they grab a wet dry vac, suck it up, and believe the danger and damage is gone.  This is a common mistake that will lead to long term expensive issues like the need to tear up floors, tear down dry wall, or rebuild entire sections of a residence – all of which could have been easily prevented by calling a certified restoration company to come do a free assessment.  So now that we have covered why DIY isn’t always the best solution, what should you do if you encounter water in your home?

Immediate Steps:

• If the water is flowing from a controllable source like a toilet or sink, cut off    the water
• Make sure you remove all furniture and personal belongings quickly from  affected area
•  Remove standing water as best you can
• Call an IICRC certified firm ASAP to get them onsite to mitigate the damage and do a full assessment

    Unfortunately many people believe that when they come across water damage in the home that a simple wet dry vac will be enough to clean up the mess and guarantee the structure of the home.  Unfortunately, the visible standing water is only one small portion of the damage that has probably been caused by the water.  As we know, water is powerful and works its way into any crack, crevace or crawl space, and it is the water that isnt visible to the naked eye that can cause rot and detieroration of the structure of the home, and lead to dangerous mold and mildew.  A restoration company like www.advancedprsofatlanta.com can respond to your water issue same day, 24/7 and see if the damage is a simple clean up, or something we will need to help you file a claim for from the insurance company.  The most important thing in these water damage situations is to ensure that the water, both obvious and hidden, is cleaned up quickly - in the long run this will save the homeowner thousands, so before you assume a simple DIY project will get the job done, give a call to Atlanta's Premier Restoration Company, Advanced PRS, and let us have a look...
