24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Marietta, GA
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
Does ivy actually damage a wall?
It does two things. The rootlets work into any joint or crack and widen it, and the leaf cover keeps the wall shaded and damp so it never dries between rains. On sound modern brickwork it is slow; on older mortar it is not.
What is found when the ivy comes off?
Usually more than expected, and it is worth being prepared for that. The rootlets stay attached to the surface when the plant is pulled, the mortar behind is often soft, and the wall has been wet continuously for however long the ivy has been there.
Is taking it off always the right move?
Taking it off and then repairing is, but taking it off and stopping is not. An ivy-covered wall has been protected from direct rain as well as kept damp, so stripping it and leaving open joints exposed can make the first winter afterward worse.
