24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Maxeys, GA
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. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Frequently asked questions
Do lightning systems cause leaks?
The fastenings can. Rods and cable clips are fixed through the covering at intervals along the ridge and down the roof, each one sealed at the time. Thirty years later those seals have gone, and a roof that is otherwise sound has a row of small penetrations along its highest lines.
Should the system be removed?
Not on a rural property in this climate, where the hazard is real. The better answer is having it inspected properly, which covers the fastenings and the grounding together. A system that has been re-roofed around, with cable left loose and connections broken, is not protecting anything anyway.
What should happen when the roof is replaced?
The system comes off and goes back on with new fastenings and new seals, by somebody who works on them. What frequently happens instead is that the roofer works around it, which leaves the old penetrations in place under new covering and the cable no longer properly attached.
