How We Restored an Atlanta Home Post-Burglary Water Damage

At The Homestar Group, we pride ourselves on turning around even the most daunting water damage scenarios into success stories. Our latest water damage cleanup Atlanta, GA project, is a testament to our dedication and expertise in the field.

The Challenge: Attempted Burglary Turned Into Water Damage

We received a call about a residential home suffering from extensive water damage due to a burglary gone wrong—the thieves had attempted to steal the washing machine, unwittingly unleashing chaos. When we arrived, the sight was grim: water had seeped through multiple rooms and floors, wreaking havoc on the drywall, ceilings, and flooring.

Our Approach: Complete Water Damage Remediation 

Assessment with Care

Our first step was to conduct a comprehensive assessment. We examined each affected area, measuring the extent of the damage meticulously. It was critical to approach the situation with a strategic plan to restore the home effectively.

Efficient Water Extraction

The clock was ticking to mitigate further damage, so we quickly set up our powerful pumps and vacuums. The objective was to remove standing water swiftly. Following the extraction, we didn't waste a moment getting our air movers and dehumidifiers in place to dry the property. Monitoring the drying process daily was part of our commitment to precision.

Damaged Materials Removal

The next phase was to remove the damaged materials. We handled the compromised drywall, ceilings, and flooring with utmost care, ensuring we didn't disturb the home's structural integrity. This task required a delicate balance between thoroughness and delicacy.

Restoration with the Homestar Touch

With the space cleared and dried, we embarked on the restoration. We replaced the damaged structures with top-grade materials, ensuring each fitted perfectly with the home's existing aesthetics. Our aim was to not just repair but to renew, leaving no trace of the damage behind.
