Presto Restoration: Waterproofing & Damage Restoration in Alpharetta, GA

Slab leaks are typically caused by shifting soil, poor construction, or age-related corrosion of copper pipes running beneath your concrete foundation. When a hot water pipe leaks under the slab, it can erode the soil, leading to foundation settling, cracked tiles, and persistent dampness. In Alpharetta, where many homes were built on expansive clay soil, these leaks are a common cause of sudden water damage. Our team uses electronic leak detection to locate the rupture without breaking your slab, then performs targeted moisture control repair and waterproofing to restore structural integrity.

Common signs include a constant drip sound from the attic, moldy odors near vents, and yellow or brown rings forming on the ceiling directly below your HVAC unit. This often happens when the condensate drain line clogs with algae, causing water to back up and overflow the pan. In Alpharetta’s humid summers, this is a frequent issue. We solve this by clearing the drain line, installing safety float switches, and performing moisture control repairs to the affected drywall and insulation before stains set in.

Hurricane-level rain can overwhelm a home’s grading and drainage, pushing water through foundation cracks and low windows. Waterproofing installation involves applying a rubberized membrane to the exterior foundation wall, installing sump pumps, and regrading soil away from the house. For Alpharetta homes near the Big Creek floodplain, this is essential. Our damage restoration crew first dries out the interior, removes mold-prone materials, and then waterproofs the vulnerable areas to ensure the same storm event doesn’t cause repeat damage.
