# EmergencyWaterRemoval.com > 24/7 emergency water damage restoration across metro Atlanta, GA. Licensed general contractor with IICRC-certified crews, direct insurance billing and complete reconstruction from mitigation through rebuild. EmergencyWaterRemoval.com is a licensed general contractor specializing in emergency water mitigation, structural drying, damage restoration and complete reconstruction for residential and commercial properties across metro Atlanta and surrounding Georgia counties. We are not a cleaning company — we handle emergency stabilization, drying, sanitization and full rebuild under one project number and one point of contact. Our crews are IICRC-certified in water damage restoration (WRT) and applied structural drying (ASD). We respond 24/7 with truck-mounted extraction equipment, LGR dehumidifiers, thermal imaging and antimicrobial containment. Most calls inside I-285 receive on-site response within 45–60 minutes. We bill most major insurance carriers directly and provide Xactimate-aligned estimates, daily moisture logs and date-stamped photo documentation so adjusters can approve scope without delay. Georgia homeowners have the right to choose their own licensed restoration contractor. ## Pages - [Home](/): 24/7 water damage cleanup and emergency water removal in Atlanta, GA. - [About](/about): Licensed restoration contractor serving metro Atlanta — our process, values and credentials. - [Services](/services): Full list of water damage services across Atlanta and surrounding cities. - [Service Areas](/service-areas): Cities and counties we cover across metro Atlanta and North Georgia. - [Contact](/contact): Request emergency help, send damage photos or ask questions. - [Recent Jobs](/jobs): Published case studies with before/after photos, moisture logs and insurance notes. - [Photo Gallery](/photo-gallery): Real before-and-after restoration photos from metro Atlanta jobs. - [Insurance Claims Help](/insurance-claims-help): Direct billing, Xactimate scope and adjuster-ready documentation. - [Our Water Damage Process](/our-water-damage-process): Step-by-step emergency response, drying and reconstruction workflow. - [Equipment We Use](/equipment-we-use): Truck-mounted extractors, LGR dehumidifiers, thermal imaging and air movers. - [Our Team](/our-team): Meet the owner and the 20+ person crew serving Atlanta homeowners and businesses. - [Why Choose Us](/why-choose-emergency-water-removal): Licensed contractor vs. cleaning company comparison. - [Emergency Response](/emergency-response): What happens when you call — dispatch, ETA and on-site protocol. - [Water Damage Learning Center](/water-damage-learning-center): Educational guides on insurance, drying, mold and restoration. ## Services - [Water Damage Restoration](/water-damage-atlanta-ga): Emergency extraction, drying, sanitization and rebuild for all categories of water damage. - [Flooded Basement Cleanup](/flooded-basement-atlanta-ga): Sump pump failures, seepage and storm flooding in basements and crawlspaces. - [Burst Pipe Cleanup](/burst-pipe-cleanup-atlanta-ga): Supply line breaks, pipe bursts and plumbing failure response. - [Sewage Cleanup](/sewage-cleanup-atlanta-ga): Black water contamination, sanitization and safe Category 3 restoration. - [Mold Remediation](/mold-after-water-damage-atlanta-ga): Mold prevention and remediation after water damage events. - [Commercial Water Damage](/commercial-water-damage-atlanta-ga): Office, retail, hotel and multifamily property restoration. - [Emergency Water Removal](/emergency-water-removal-atlanta-ga): Rapid response extraction and stabilization. ## Cities - [Atlanta, GA](/water-damage-atlanta-ga): Primary service area — Buckhead, Midtown, Decatur, Sandy Springs and I-285 perimeter. - [Lawrenceville, GA](/water-damage-lawrenceville-ga): Gwinnett County water damage restoration and reconstruction. - [Marietta, GA](/water-damage-marietta-ga): Cobb County emergency water removal and structural drying. - [Buford, GA](/water-damage-buford-ga): Hall County and Lake Lanier area water damage response. - [Duluth, GA](/water-damage-duluth-ga): Gwinnett County water mitigation and rebuild services. - [Gainesville, GA](/water-damage-gainesville-ga): Hall County restoration contractor for residential and commercial losses. ## Guides - [Insurance Claim Help](/insurance-claim-help-water-damage): Step-by-step guide to filing water damage claims with proper documentation. - [Does Insurance Cover Water Damage?](/does-insurance-cover-water-damage): What is typically covered, what is not, and how to document for your carrier. - [Emergency Water Damage Insurance Process](/emergency-water-damage-insurance-process): Timeline from first call through adjuster approval and payment. - [How Long Does Water Damage Take to Dry?](/how-long-does-water-damage-take-to-dry): Drying timelines by material, contamination class and humidity. - [Mold After Water Damage](/mold-after-water-damage): Why mold grows, how to prevent it and when remediation is required. ## Optional - [SEO Recovery Case Study](/seo-recovery-case-study): How we rebuilt organic traffic after a site migration. - [Rochester, NY](/water-damage-rochester-ny): Expansion market page for Rochester-area water damage restoration. - [Job Case Study — Sewage Backup Decatur Basement](/jobs/sewage-backup-decatur-basement): Published restoration project with photos and scope notes. - [Job Case Study — Burst Pipe Sandy Springs Kitchen](/jobs/burst-pipe-sandy-springs-kitchen): Published restoration project with before/after documentation.
