What to do in the first hour
Water keeps spreading into drywall, subfloor and insulation, so speed matters more than anything else.
- Shut off the main water valve if the source is a pipe or appliance.
- Turn off power to rooms where water is near outlets or cords.
- Move furniture, rugs and boxes off wet floors.
- Take photos and video before anything is cleaned up. Your insurer will ask for them.
What the repair usually covers
Most jobs come in three parts: stop the source, dry the structure, then rebuild. Drying can take several days, and the crew checks moisture before closing up walls or laying new floor. Wet drywall, carpet pad and insulation are usually removed rather than dried in place.
Common causes in Atlanta homes
Burst supply lines after a hard freeze, water heaters that fail at the tank, washing machine hoses, slab leaks, roof leaks during summer storms, and basements that take on water after heavy rain on red clay soil.
Clean, gray or black water
Restoration crews sort water by where it came from. A broken supply line is clean water. Overflow from a dishwasher or washing machine is gray water. Sewage backups and floodwater coming in from outside are black water, and anything it soaks, like drywall, carpet and insulation, has to be removed rather than dried. The dirtier the water, the more of the room has to come out.

Common questions
How does the 30% off labor work?
30% off labor on your first job booked through fixerpro.net. Labor only: materials, parts, permits and dumpster fees are billed at full price. Mention your ticket number when you book. One per household, can't be combined with other offers. FixerPro may change or end this offer at any time.
How much does water damage repair cost in Atlanta?
Most restoration jobs fall between $2,000 and $6,000 by published U.S. averages, from a few hundred dollars for a small leak to far more for a flooded home. Atlanta prices can land above or below that. Your written estimate is the number that counts.
How long does drying take?
Usually several days. The crew checks moisture in walls and floors and only closes things up once readings are back to normal, so mold does not start behind new drywall.
Do I need to move out during the repair?
Most leaks confined to one or two rooms do not need it. A flooded home, black water or mold can make some rooms unusable until they are dried and cleaned. The estimate visit tells you which rooms are affected.
What should I do right now?
If you can, shut off the main water valve and turn off power to wet areas. Move valuables out of the water. Then start your ticket.
Can I use my homeowners insurance?
Many policies cover sudden water damage. Tell us if you have opened a claim and we will plan the visit around it. Your insurer decides what is covered.
