24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Dunwoody, GA
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

Frequently asked questions
How do pipes freeze somewhere with no freezing months?
Because an average is not a minimum. No month here averages a low below freezing, but several nights each winter go well under it, and the houses were built as though they would not. Lines run through outside walls and unheated garages are fine for years and then fail on one night.
Why do so many happen at once?
Because they all share a cause. A single cold night reaches every house in the area at the same time, so the failures are not spread through the winter the way they are further north; they arrive in one night and are discovered over the following two days as buildings warm up.
What is worth doing before the next one?
Knowing which runs are exposed, which usually means outside walls, the garage and anything along a crawl wall. In a climate like this those are the lines that have never been protected because they have never needed to be. Identifying them takes an hour and removes most of the risk.
