Contact SERVPRO of North Lilburn to Combat Water Damage in Norcross

With the trees and mild climate, life in Norcross, GA, and around North Lilburn may be charming most days of the year, but accidents and adverse weather events can quickly turn things for the worse. Unfortunately, many residents in Norcross and the surrounding communities experience water damage in their homes. If you suspect Norcross water damage in your home, you may be very concerned about the condition of your property.

The First and Most Important Step

Before you consider repairing your property after Norcross water damage, you will need to remove the standing water and moisture from your home. This extraction sounds easier than it is; all of the areas must be thoroughly dried out promptly if you want to minimize the opportunity for mold growth to develop on your property. Mold can spring up when moisture is present in the home for just a day or two, and it can cause the water damage in your home to become much costlier to repair. Additionally, mold can cause health problems, so you definitely want to arrest its development. A reputable and experienced restoration company uses advanced techniques to extract water and return humidity levels to normal.

The Repair Process

Depending on the extent of the damage in your home, the repair process may take a few days or a few weeks to complete. Some items can be salvaged. For example, you may be able to retain your carpeting if it is professionally cleaned and deodorized after being damaged by a flood or another catastrophic water event. Other items in the home may not be so fortunate. Drywall, cabinetry, and other items made out of similar materials can become warped when exposed to water for an extended period. Although some furnishings may need to be replaced, in any case, acting fast will improve your outlook for preserving as much of your property as possible. SERVPRO always attempts to save and restore household and personal items rather than replacing them.

Getting Fast Service

The best choice when you look for a remediation company to help with your home water extraction and repair process is one with a proven track record. Also, because the threat of mold grows with each passing day, you should go with a local business that can respond rapidly.
