Indoor plumbing might be one of the many marvels of living in a modern home, but it has its share of potential problems. Piping, especially older soldered joints on copper tubing, can lose strength and stability over time, allowing vulnerabilities to form where drips become likely. While a drip might not cause much harm immediately, failure to act on the situation could require considerable water restoration.

The Damage of a Simple Drip 

Drips cause more need for water damage restoration in Dunwoody than homeowners might think. The trouble with these compromises in your utility is that they are not extreme enough to notice immediately. Drips also widely vary in severity. If you had a soldered joint leaking ten drops a minute, for example, it could result in a whole gallon of water falling on vulnerable wall system materials, such as drywall, wood framing, and electrical wiring. So armed with the knowledge that this could be severe, it is time to act.

How AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs Can Help

Because drips can go unnoticed, they are often signs like a higher water bill or softer surface materials that indicate a threat could exist. One of the initial advantages of contacting our professionals is the sophisticated water-tracking equipment we use to confirm drips and moisture damage in wall cavities without exploratory holes. Once confirmed, we move quickly to address the threats to your plumbing, building materials, and family.

  • Repairs

Emergency repairs are at the forefront of what your household requires when addressing the water damage from a drip. You need to keep the situation from getting worse, and replacing the compromised pipes with new materials is an effective method of paving the path for effective drying.

  • Structural Drying 

With the wall cavity exposed and the damage repaired, AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs technicians can set up air movers and dehumidifiers to effectively work to evaporate trapped water and collect/dispose of it with the dehumidification units.

  • Mold Removal 

If a long-running drip has left components of your wall cavity exposed to moisture and water for days and weeks, conditions are likely ideal for mold growth. Our professionals can evaluate the presence of mold and have direct remediation strategies to eliminate this microbial threat through the drying and reconstruction phases.
