SERVICE OVERVIEW
Understaanding Water Mitigation and Why Immediate Action Matters
Water mitigation is the critical first step in protecting your Greater Atlanta home from serious water damage. Unlike full water damage restoration, mitigation focuses on immediate response to stop water at the source, extract standing water, and begin the drying process before secondary damage occurs. Every hour of delay allows water to spread deeper into building materials, creating conditions for mold growth, structural deterioration, and increased repair costs.
One Call Restoration understands that water emergencies do not wait for convenient business hours. Burst pipes, appliance failures, storm flooding, and roof leaks demand immediate professional attention. Our water mitigation services address the urgent threat first, protecting your property from further harm while we assess the full scope of restoration needed. We serve homeowners across Brookhaven, Decatur, Vinings, East Point, College Park, Cumberland, and East Cobb with the equipment, expertise, and accountability that water emergencies require.
Rapid response helps limit damage and repair costs. Professional drying reduces the risk of mold growth. Clear communication keeps homeowners informed throughout the process. These three principles guide every water mitigation project we handle, ensuring your home receives protection that goes beyond simple water extraction to comprehensive moisture management and structural preservation.

OUR WATER MITIGATION PROCESS
Step by Step Water Damage Response in Greater Atlanta
Step 1: Emergency Contact and Rapid Dispatch
When you call One Call Restoration for water mitigation, you reach a real person who understands the urgency. We gather essential information about your water emergency and dispatch our experienced technicians immediately to your Greater Atlanta location. Our team arrives equipped with professional water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and commercial grade drying systems.
Step 2: Water Source Identification and Damage Assessment
Our first priority is identifying and stopping the water source when possible. We then conduct thorough assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging to determine the full extent of water penetration, including hidden moisture behind walls, under flooring, and in structural cavities. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create an effective mitigation plan tailored to your specific situation.
Step 3: Water Extraction and Removal
We use powerful extraction equipment to remove standing water quickly from your Marietta, Sandy Springs, or Dunwoody property. Truck mounted and portable extractors remove thousands of gallons efficiently, preventing water from spreading to unaffected areas and reducing overall drying time. Speed matters during this phase, and our team works systematically to extract all accessible water.
Step 4: Strategic Drying and Dehumidification
After water extraction, moisture remains in building materials like drywall, subflooring, and framing. One Call Restoration places commercial air movers and dehumidifiers strategically to dry affected materials thoroughly. We monitor moisture levels daily, adjusting equipment placement as needed until all materials reach acceptable dryness standards that prevent mold growth and structural issues.
Step 5: Documentation and Ongoing Communication
Throughout the water mitigation process, we document damage with photographs, moisture readings, and detailed notes for insurance claims. Our team communicates progress clearly, explaining what we are doing, why it matters, and what comes next. This transparency helps Greater Atlanta homeowners feel informed and confident during a stressful situation.
