Damage Restoration Norcross, GA | Water Damage Repair | Paul Davis

After a tropical storm in Norcross, you might notice water stains on ceilings or walls, bubbling or peeling paint, or a musty odor, particularly in basements or lower levels. Drywall can become soft or sag as it absorbs moisture. If you see these signs, it’s important to contact a restoration professional to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

A burst or leaking water heater can release gallons of water into adjacent rooms or walls. This moisture soaks into drywall, causing it to swell, warp, or disintegrate. The first step is to shut off the water supply and electricity in the affected area. Then call Paul Davis Restoration for prompt water extraction and drying to save your drywall and prevent further damage.

In many cases, minor garage water intrusion can be dried and treated without full drywall replacement, especially if caught early. However, if the drywall is saturated or mold has begun to grow, sections may need to be cut out and replaced. Our team in Norcross assesses the extent of damage and uses industrial drying equipment to salvage as much material as possible.
