There is water under my house after a storm. What should I do first?

Stay out of the crawl space if wiring is near the water, and call us. We pump it, pull wet insulation and dry the framing.

Will my crawl space insulation have to come out?

If it is soaked, usually yes. Wet batts hold water against the subfloor and grow mold.

Do you handle trees that hit the house in a storm?

Yes. We tarp and board up, dry what got wet and handle the repairs.

Can you tell where an old pipe is leaking without opening walls?

Usually we can narrow it down with moisture meters and thermal imaging before cutting anything.

Short answer

Water and fire damage restoration in Lake Claire covers crawl space water, burst pipes, basement and storm water, mold and fire damage in bungalows, cottages and newer homes, with phones answered 24/7. Much of Lake Claire was sold as empty lots that owners built on themselves.

Local conditions

Owner-built homes and Lullwater Creek

Lake Claire began as several separate developments that joined Atlanta in the 1910s, and much of it was sold as empty lots for owners to build on. The result is about 1,200 homes that are all a little different: Craftsman bungalows, 1950s cottages and newer houses, often next door to each other. There is no lake, either; the dry Lake Ponceana once sat at Claire Drive and Lakeshore Drive. Each house hides its own plumbing, so we trace leaks rather than assume.

Lullwater Creek, a tributary of Peavine Creek, starts in Lake Claire and runs north toward Fernbank Forest and the Druid Hills Golf Club. Headwater streets like these carry runoff fast in a summer downpour, and the houses on the low side of a block take it first, at the crawl space vents, the basement door or the garage slab.
