Find the service that matches your problem

Water damage is not one job. A burst pipe in a second-floor bathroom, a slab leak under a kitchen and a basement that took in storm water each need a different approach, different equipment and sometimes a different type of insurance claim. The pages below explain each problem as it shows up in Lawrenceville and the rest of Gwinnett County, so you can describe what happened clearly when you book an on-site inspection.

Not sure which one applies? That is normal. Water often shows up far from where it started: a ceiling stain can be an AC drain line, a toilet supply or a roof flashing. A moisture check finds the source and maps the spread, and that is the first thing any restoration visit should do.

Clean water, gray water and black water

Restoration companies follow industry standards that sort water into three categories, and the category changes how much has to be removed:

CategoryTypical sourcesWhat it usually means
1 – clean waterBurst supply line, water heater, ice maker lineMany materials can be dried in place if work starts quickly.
2 – gray waterWashing machine or dishwasher overflow, AC condensate, clean water left sittingCarpet pad is normally removed; surfaces are cleaned and treated.
3 – black waterSewage backup, outside floodwater, toilet overflow with wastePorous materials that were soaked are removed; the area is cleaned and sanitized.

Clean water does not stay clean. After a day or two in carpet and drywall, especially in a warm house, it can be reclassified, which is one more reason to start drying early.

What every visit should include

  • A walk-through to confirm the source is stopped and the rooms are safe.
  • Moisture mapping with meters and, ideally, a thermal camera.
  • A written scope: what will be extracted, removed, dried and monitored.
  • Daily readings until each material reaches its dry standard.
  • Photos and logs you can send to your insurance adjuster.
