24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Norcross, 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
Is the pond ornamental or functional?
Functional first. It was built to hold storm water back and release it slowly, and the planting and the fountain came afterward. That matters because the pond is meant to rise several feet in a storm, which people take as a fault.
What stops the pond outlet working?
The outlet structure, which is usually a pipe with a restrictor and a trash rack, and which is generally hidden in planting by now. Leaves against it in November are enough, and the pond then holds a level it was not designed to hold.
Who maintains it?
The association, which is worth checking rather than assuming. These structures need the outlet cleared and the basin dredged at intervals, and an association that has been treating the pond as landscaping has probably not been budgeting for either. The reserve study, where one exists, is the quickest way to find out which of the two applies.
