Our Flood Damage Restoration Process
Our detailed flood damage restoration process lets us properly care for your Norcross property and restore it to 100% safety and security. Our process includes:
Water Damage Restoration
When water damage strikes your home or business, acting quickly is crucial. Contact United Water Restoration Group immediately to begin the restoration process. As soon as we receive your call, our team responds promptly, assessing your property, identifying affected areas, and determining the extent of the damage.
Water Restoration
Our water extraction process utilizes advanced industrial-grade equipment, including pumps, vacuums, and extraction mats. We work quickly to remove all standing water, preventing further damage and helping to minimize restoration costs.
Damaged Materials Removal
Water damage often leads to the deterioration of building materials. When materials are beyond repair, we remove them to prevent mold growth and further structural issues.
Drying & Dehumidification
The next step in the process is drying and dehumidification. After removing damaged materials, we use high-powered blowers and dehumidifiers to eliminate excess moisture from the air. Our team also utilizes moisture meters to precisely measure water levels in affected materials, ensuring thorough drying.
Documentation
Once the restoration is complete, we compile comprehensive documentation outlining the entire process. This includes detailed reports, photos of the restored areas, records of warranties or guarantees, and final recommendations for maintenance and prevention.
Common Causes of Flooding
Flooding can occur due to a range of natural events and human-related issues. Common causes include heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers or streams, rapid snowmelt, hurricanes, and tropical storms. Human factors like poorly maintained drainage systems, levee or dam failures, urban development with impervious surfaces, and deforestation can significantly worsen flooding by disrupting natural water flow and absorption.
The most common causes of flooding in Norcross are:

Flood Damage Tips
Safety First
Before starting any water damage cleanup, always put safety first. Turn off the electricity in affected areas to eliminate the risk of electrical shock. Wear appropriate protective gear—including gloves, waterproof boots, and a mask—to reduce exposure to contaminated water and prevent contact with mold or harmful bacteria.
Document the Damage
Before beginning any flood cleanup, take clear photos or videos of all affected areas. This essential documentation supports your insurance claim and helps accurately record the full extent of the water damage for future reference.
Remove Standing Water
If conditions are safe, start removing standing water using pumps, wet/dry vacuums, or buckets. Prompt water extraction is key to minimizing further damage and reducing the risk of mold growth in the affected area.
Dispose of Contaminated Materials
Discard any items that cannot be effectively cleaned or restored—especially porous materials like carpet, upholstery, and drywall, which can retain bacteria and mold. Be sure to follow local disposal regulations to ensure safe and responsible removal of contaminated materials.
Thorough Cleaning & Disinfection
After removing the water, thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces. Use appropriate cleaning agents to sanitize the affected areas and prevent mold growth. Allow ample drying time before rebuilding or restoring the space.
