Damage Restoration Atlanta | Arcon Industrial Sanitation

Freeze-thaw cycles cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks. Signs include unexplained water stains on ceilings or walls, dripping sounds behind walls, and damp spots around plumbing fixtures. In Atlanta's winter, sudden temperature drops followed by warming can worsen hidden pipe damage.

Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at roof edges, backing water under shingles. Prevent by improving attic insulation and ventilation, and using a roof rake after light snow. If you see water dripping from ceilings or walls near exterior walls, Arcon can perform emergency water extraction and structural drying to minimize damage.

First, turn off the water supply to the sink. Then, remove standing water with towels or a wet/dry vacuum. Open cabinets to promote air circulation. Call Arcon immediately for water extraction and drying services to prevent mold growth within 24-48 hours, especially in warm Atlanta humidity.
