Conyers, Georgia · water damage
Wet carpet, a sagging ceiling, a split pipe or a backed-up drain in Conyers, Covington and Lithonia. Have a question about what comes next? Call (678) 940-8196 and ask a local contractor.
The amount of water you can see is only part of it. Three other things usually decide the size of a job. How long the materials stayed wet matters, since the EPA aims for 24 to 48 hours as the time to dry items and areas that got wet. Which water it was matters too, because supply-line water, rain and sewage lead to different cleanups. And what it soaked counts: carpet, pad, drywall and insulation each follow different rules in the extension guides.
That is why a short description over the phone helps the contractor, and a visit helps more. Common questions works through the rest, with the source for each answer.
The call goes to a local contractor that covers Conyers, Covington and Lithonia. Expect a few questions: the street address, what happened, when the water first showed up, and roughly how old the house or the appliance is. Photos on your phone help once a visit is arranged.
The call is a conversation, not a diagnosis. The contractor can arrange a visit, look at the rooms and explain the options. How calls work goes step by step, including who calls first and who waits.

CDC's rule is never to switch the power on or off yourself, and never to run an electric tool or appliance while you are standing in water. When the main switch cannot be reached from dry ground, go outside and call 911 or the electric utility. Georgia Power takes outage and downed-line reports on 1-888-891-0938.
Dirty water from a drain or toilet.
Both CDC and the EPA note that floodwater and sewer overflows can carry sewage. Children and pets stay out of the room, and nobody touches the water.
A ceiling that bulges, drips or sags.
FEMA and the Red Cross describe soaked plaster and wallboard as very heavy and dangerous when it falls. Keep away from the spot beneath it and move everyone out of the room.
A gas smell.
Atlanta Gas Light says to leave at once and avoid anything that could ignite, such as cell phones, matches or flashlights, until you are away from the area. Then call 877.427.4321 or 911.
