Atlanta Water Damage Restoration

A water main break has caused an inch of water to be dumped over priceless artifacts in the Homestead National Monument of America . The Homestead museum  houses over 50,000 different artifacts which tell the story of homesteading in America. Notice what the article goes on to say in the Beatice Daily Sun:

“We’re making very positive progress,” said Park Superintendent Mark Engler Monday morning. “We believe nothing will be lost at this point in time. Also, in addition to that, the building is also, for the most part, drying very quickly. We remain very optimistic.”

Notice what steps were taken immediately:

Step 1- always involves shutting the water flow off

Notice how they did this:

“The water cut-off switch for the level did not stop the flowing water, prompting Engler to go back outside, clear snow off the building’s manhole cover and ultimately turn off water to the entire building with help from the deputy.” (more…)

Sometimes we forget how bad the 2009 Atlanta flood was. Take a moment to review this CNN coverage as a helicopter gives us a wet tour of our wet town.

Notice the the flooding on I85. And who can forget what Six Flags in Douglasville, GA looked like under brown muddy water. You can see the Chattahoochee overflowing and all of the poor home owners whose houses look like they are sitting in the middle of a lake! It is going take months to help these people with all of the water damage restoration in Atlanta that is needed.

Let’s pray it doesn’t happen again!
