Damage Restoration & General Contracting in Oakland, TN | Hart Family Construction

After a heavy rain or tropical storm, keep an eye out for musty odors, warped baseboards, bubbling paint, or water stains on ceilings and walls. You might also notice sudden spikes in water bills or damp spots in your crawl space. If you live near the Loosahatchie River or low-lying areas, check for standing water in your basement. If you spot any of these, call us immediately—delaying can lead to mold and structural issues.

Sewage backups are a health hazard, so we start by isolating the affected area and wearing protective gear. Our team extracts contaminated water, disinfects surfaces, and removes porous materials like carpet and drywall that can’t be saved. We then dry and treat the structure with antimicrobial solutions. After the cleanup, we handle any needed repairs, from replacing drywall to full restoration, and work with your insurance to make the process smooth.

Absolutely. First, we’ll assess the source of the leak (often from missing shingles or flashing) and make temporary repairs to prevent further water entry. Then we dry the affected area using fans and dehumidifiers, remove damaged drywall, and check for hidden moisture in the attic. Once the roof is fully repaired—either by us or your roofer—we rebuild the ceiling, match the texture, and repaint. We’re a full-service contractor, so we handle everything from the leak fix to the finish work.
