How To Deal With Emergency Plumbing Problems

No one wants to deal with a flooded basement, bathroom, kitchen or business. Still the fact remains that unexpected plumbing emergencies happen all the time. From burst pipes to broken sewer lines, flooding can leave you in a real mess and literally "under water". Dealing with flooding urgently and efficiently can greatly help reduce the damage that flooding may cause. Here are a few tips on how to deal with emergency plumbing problems:

STOP THE WATER SOURCE: If it is possible and safe, turn off the water source. This will help minimize the flooding and damage you incur. Turning off a local supply valve or the main water supply may help you tremendously. 

FIND A RELIABLE EMERGENCY PLUMBER: This is probably not a do it yourself moment. When serious flooding wreaks havoc on your home or business, hiring a reputable professional can save you time and money in the long run.  They can offer quick water removal and water damage repairs. You also want to be sure the true underlying cause of your flooding is immediately addressed.  

SALVAGE YOUR PROPERTY: If water is rising, try to move your valuables to higher ground on your property. Mitigating your loss is very important. But only do this if it is completely safe to do so.

Hopefully these tips will help you in the face of a plumbing emergency. Be sure to immediately contact your insurance company as well. You very well may be covered for the damage that has been caused. Lang Restoration specializes in emergency plumbing repairs that may result from burst pipes, sewage backups and other plumbing problems. Call us for 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Metro Atlanta.

Tips For Preparing Your Home For Fall


Fall brings more than a change in the color of the leaves. It also brings changes in temperatures and weather patterns that you should prepare your home for. It’s also a great time of year for certain types of maintenance projects. Preparing your home for the fall season does not have to be challenging if you are well informed and well prepared. Here are a few tips for preparing your home for fall:

1.  HAVE YOUR HVAC UNITS SERVICED. Your furnace will get a lot of use and your A/C probably was heavily used all summer. It’s a perfect time of year to have both systems checked and serviced.

2. CLEAN THE GUTTERS. Those leaves look pretty, but can wreak havoc on your gutters. Clogged gutters can lead to big problems, so be sure they are debris free before winter comes around.

3. PROPERLY SEAL THE WINDOWS & DOORS. Once you turn on the heat for the winter, you want to keep that heat inside your home. Leakage from doors and windows can cost a lot in extra energy usage.

Of course we want you to enjoy the beautiful autumn season, but don’t forget to take a little time out for home preparation. Your home is such a valuable and treasured investment, so take good care of it.

3 Signs That Your Home May Have Dangerous Mold

Mold can be a pervasive problem that can erode the safety and value of your home or business.  It can often be difficult to determine if you have a mold problem that requires professional remediation. Here are a few signs that may indicate that you have dangerous mold that requires professional treatment and removal:

1. Visible Signs of Water Damage: If you notice signs of water damage on your walls, ceiling or any other area of your property, then there may be hidden mold as well. 

2. Foul or Musty Odors: Mold will often give off a musty, mildew like smell. Pay close attention to the source of the odor as it may warrant mold testing if it does not go away on its own. 

3. An Increase in Allergy-Like Symptoms: Watery eyes and congestion can be due to mold spores in your home or business, especially if they seem worse when you are there as opposed to when you are at other locations. 

If you think your property may be infested with mold, Lang can help. We offer professional mold testing and remediation services. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Tips For Protecting Your Property From Storm Damage | Storm Damage Restoration


There is absolutely no shortage of severe storms in Metro Atlanta.  High winds, lightning strikes, flooding and flying debris are just a few of the potential dangers that lie in the storm.  There is no foolproof protection from storm damage, but there are some things you can do to reduce your risk. Here are a few tips you may want to consider:

PROTECT IMPORTANT ELECTRONICS: Move important electronics like computers away from vulnerable areas. Windows and water sources are areas you want to steer clear of if at all possible. Always use heavy duty surge protectors as well to help protect your equipment from a power surge caused by a lightning strike.

SECURE OUTDOOR PROPERTY: Secure or bring in outdoor property that could become flying debris with high winds.  The last thing you want is for a flying lawn chair or trash can to slam into your home or through your window. 

MAINTAIN YOUR TREES: Falling trees are a big threat during storms, especially if the ground is already highly saturated.  Be sure to keep you trees trimmed and remove sick or dying trees from your property promptly.

Staying safe and protecting you property should be your priority when dangerous storms are overhead.  Sometimes taking simple, small measures can make a big difference. If you want more information on how to protect your property during a storm or need professional storm damage restorations services, call Lang.

What You Should Do After Your Home Floods | Flood Damage Repair Atlanta

Water is the essence of life, but can be vicious and dangerous when left unchecked. Flooding can end in disastrous consequences, so it is important that you know what to do if your home floods. Mitigating your damages and staying safe is critical. Here are a few things that you may want to consider doing if your home floods:

PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST: Never try to save property at the risk of your own safety. Make sure your home is deemed safe by a qualified professional before you start any recovery or mitigation efforts.

CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE AGENT: Your damages need to be documented and verified by your insurance company as soon as possible. The costs can escalate quickly from flood damage so you want to be sure that your insurance company is covering your damages fully.

TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: To prevent further danger and fire risks you want power to the home turned completely off. Your electrical system needs to be repaired and inspected by a qualified electrician before it’s turned back on.

FIND A QUALIFIED RESTORATION PROFESSIONAL: Do not trust your flood damage repair and home restoration to someone inexperienced or unqualified. Some companies pop up when disasters strike and disappear just as quickly. Choose a trusted company that is rooted in the community, fully licensed & insured and has a long standing reputation for excellence. Lang Restoration & Construction is just that type of company. Our clients' know and trust us because we've earned it.
