Damage Restoration Waveland, MS | Southern Roots Restoration

The most common early signs include a sudden increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, damp spots on walls or ceilings, and a musty odor. You might also notice your hardwood floors starting to cup or stain near a bathroom or kitchen. If you catch these signs early, Southern Roots Restoration can locate the leak with non-invasive equipment and dry the area before mold sets in.

When groundwater seeps up through a slab or foundation—common in low-lying areas near the Waveland coast—we first extract all standing water. We then use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the subfloor and wooden planks. If the wood has warped or buckled, we’ll remove and replace the damaged sections, matching the existing flooring. Our goal is to stop the moisture at the source and restore your floor to its original condition without tearing out the entire room.

Absolutely. After a hurricane or heavy thunderstorm, roof leaks are one of the most frequent calls we get. We start by tarping the roof to prevent further water entry, then extract any water already inside your attic or ceilings. After drying, we assess and repair the damaged roof decking and shingles. Because we handle both the roof repair and the interior water damage, you only need one crew—saving you time and hassle.
