82% of the 30,291 places we track come out drier. That's plenty of water to find a tired roof, a blocked downspout or a low spot by the foundation.

Check your drains and the slope around the house ahead of March. It takes an afternoon, and it can save a lot of drying later.

Before anyone arrives
The first hour after a leak in Loganville
A few minutes now can save days of drying later. If something doesn't feel safe, skip it and tell us when you call.
Shut off the water
Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.
Stay clear of the power
If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.
Take pictures first
Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.
Rescue what you can
Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.
Let the air move
If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

The clock on mold is roughly 24 to 48 hours, which is why we'd rather hear from you early.
Typical build year
The usual weak spots in Loganville homes
A newer home usually means modern plumbing, which is a good start, though it doesn't mean nothing can go wrong. Fittings can loosen and appliance lines wear out, and a tank water heater only lasts so long, usually 8 to 12 years.
It's also worth learning where your main valve is now, while nothing's wrong. In newer houses it's often in the garage or a utility closet, and you don't want to be looking for it while water is running.

How we can help in Loganville
Water Damage Cleanup & Extraction
The more water that comes out at this stage, the less has to be dried later. Pumps and extraction units clear carpet, pad, hardwood and tile, then everything the water touched gets cleaned.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Flood Damage Restoration
Floodwater is never clean. It carries soil and sewage, so mud and silt get cleared, soaked drywall and insulation get cut out, and what stays gets disinfected.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Basement Water Damage Restoration
If your home has a basement, a failed sump pump or a backed-up drain can fill it fast. It gets pumped out, the concrete and block get dried, and someone finds out how the water got in.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Structural Drying and Dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until the meters say your walls, subfloor and framing are back to normal. Not until they look dry. Until the readings prove it.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Water Damage Repair and Restoration
Once the structure is dry, the drywall, flooring, trim and paint go back. You'll have photos and notes for your claim along the way.

Why water behaves differently in Loganville
Weather
You'll know this weather: warm and wet for much of the year, with big storms that come in fast. Wind-driven rain finds gaps around windows and roof edges, and low-lying roads and yards can flood within an hour. In this kind of air, nothing dries on its own.
Buildings
Homes here run the AC for months, which means condensate drains that can clog and overflow, often into a wall or ceiling. Crawlspace homes hold on to moisture under the floor, and old plaster walls take a long time to dry. Each of those needs its own plan once it's wet.
Ground
Soil here runs from coastal sand to red clay and limestone hills. Sand drains fast, but it sits over a high water table, so groundwater can come up into crawlspaces in a long wet spell. Inland, red clay sheds rain toward your foundation and holds it there.
Drying
You can't dry a house here by opening the windows. That just brings in more moisture. LGR dehumidifiers do the real work, running until your floor joists, studs and drywall have given up their water, and ideally before the warm air gives mold its chance.
When you call
What happens after you call us from Loganville
First we'll want to know three things: where you are in Loganville, where the water came from and if it's stopped. From there, we'll connect you with a local specialist from our network, so you're speaking to someone who works in Walton County. That goes for homeowners, landlords and businesses alike.
Expect a walk through the house with a thermal camera and a moisture meter, because what you can see is usually only part of it. The specialist will also tell you which of the three categories you've got. Category 1 water is clean, Category 2 is dirty, and Category 3 is sewage or floodwater. That last one changes the job, with plastic containment around the work area and negative air machines pushing air through HEPA filters.
Getting the water out is the quick part. A truck-mounted or portable extractor handles that. After that, air movers sweep across wet surfaces, and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers take that moisture out of the room. In cold or dense spaces, desiccant dehumidifiers work better. You'll hear the machines day and night for a while, and daily psychrometric readings of the air show that they're working.
Nobody should take the machines away just because a wall feels dry. The target is the dry standard, measured from sound materials in your own home, and the job follows the IICRC S500 standard until the readings match. Ask for a copy of the daily log. Your insurer will want it.
What can be saved in a Loganville home
A lot of it can stay if you move quickly. If the water was clean, the carpet is often fine once the pad is replaced. Hardwood needs slow, careful drying with mats, and it may want refinishing at the end. Drywall is the easy one: a flood cut takes off the wet part, a little above the waterline, and the top of the wall is untouched.
The exception is dirty water. Whatever soft material sewage or floodwater touched has to be removed, and the rest gets an antimicrobial cleaning. Don't relight a gas heater or water heater that sat in water, and if a floor feels soft, stay off it and mention it on the call.

What people in Loganville ask us
How fast can someone get to me in Loganville?
Usually the same day, and often within a few hours. It depends on who's closest and how busy Walton County is. If a storm has just gone through, everyone's calling at once, so call as soon as you can.
Can I clean up water damage myself?
You can handle a minor spill if it's clean water and it hasn't gone anywhere. For anything that's reached the carpet pad, the walls or the floor below, professional drying really does make a difference, and floodwater or sewage should be left to people with the right protective gear.
How long does it take to dry out a house?
A small leak that's caught early may dry in two or three days. A flooded room with wet subfloor and insulation can take a week or more, and repairs start after that.
Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?
Often, yes, if drying starts quickly. Hardwood can come back with floor drying mats and slow, controlled drying, though it may cup for a while and need refinishing. Carpet soaked by clean water can usually be saved with a new pad. Carpet that sewage or floodwater touched has to go.
Will my insurance pay for water damage?
Many water losses are covered, so it's worth checking. The usual line is sudden versus gradual: a burst supply line is generally covered, and a slow drip often isn't. Flood damage needs a separate flood policy, and a sewer backup may need an extra rider.
