WaterTite Exteriors & Restoration handles water damage restoration in Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, and Metro Atlanta. Water in a house does not stay put. A roof leak, a storm, or a plumbing failure can soak insulation, drywall, flooring, and contents. We handle the work from the first drying steps through putting the property back together. Call 678-597-8493 or email info@watertiteexteriors.com.

Water mitigation and extraction

Mitigation is about stopping further damage. That means finding the source when it is part of our work, removing standing water, and drying the space. Customers have described John bringing dehumidifiers and air movers after a leaking roof, and staying involved until the moisture problem was under control.

Tear-out of damaged materials

Materials that cannot be dried and saved — wet drywall, flooring, insulation, or other finishes — need to be removed carefully so the structure can dry and the rebuild can start clean. We tear out what has to go and protect what can stay.

Rebuild, including flooring replacement and refinishing after water damage

After the building is dry, we rebuild the damaged areas. That can include interior repairs that follow a roof leak, such as ceilings and related finishes, as well as the exterior work that stops the water in the first place. Rebuild work also includes flooring replacement and refinishing after water damage — hardwood floor refinishing and wood laminate plank installation. The floors below are from water-damage repair rebuilds.

Every property is different. We start with an inspection and a free estimate so the plan fits the house. If a roof insurance claim is part of the job, we can help you work through it.
