What Is a Flood?
If you want to tackle a problem, it helps a lot to understand the problem. Flooding is where dry areas, either land or properties, are inundated with water. How this happens can come from a number of different sources, including hurricanes, clogged drainage systems, severe storms, broken levees, or other issues. In fact, flooding is such an important issue that flood hazard maps have been drawn up to help property owners and others understand the risks of flooding from natural disasters for different locations. Once you know the problem, you can properly attack the problem and get things back to the way they were.
What To Do When You Have a Flood
You may be surprised to learn that there are a number of things that you can do even before you call Atlanta Restoration for your flood damage restoration. You will want to shut off your water source to your Alpharetta, Atlanta, Cumming, Johns Creek, Roswell, or surrounding area property, as this will help to stop further damage if it is from a leaking pipe, and it will also help to keep the water supply safe from backflow and contamination. You can also work on removing any standing water that you have with water pumps or vacuums. No matter what you do, be sure to cover your skin so that you prevent any issues when you come in contact with the floodwaters. Remove damaged materials and items to a dry area, which allows you to assess the damage and prevent continuing damage. Finally, take a physical inventory of the damaged materials so you have an idea of the extent of the flood damage. Then, give Atlanta Restoration a call so their team can come and begin the flood damage restoration.
