Decatur & DeKalb County's 24/7 Water Extraction Crew
Decatur is one of metro Atlanta's most beloved urban communities — and its charm comes with real water risk. Many of Decatur's most desirable homes were built between 1920 and 1960, with original plumbing, unfinished basements, and aging sewer laterals that fail with little warning. When they do, Estate Solutions has IICRC-certified water extraction crews on the road to your DeKalb County address within 60 minutes.
DeKalb County's combined sewer system in older areas like Decatur is also a factor — during heavy rain events, sewer backups into homes occur in neighborhoods that have no separation between storm and sanitary lines. This is Category 3 contaminated water that requires immediate professional response.

60-Minute Dispatch
IICRC-certified crews arrive with truck-mounted extractors, thermal cameras, and moisture meters. No second trip needed.
Commercial Extraction
High-capacity truck-mounted units remove standing water from all affected areas — basements, crawl spaces, and finished living areas.
Historic Home Moisture Mapping
Thermal imaging penetrates original horsehair plaster, old-growth wood framing, and masonry basement walls to find hidden moisture inaccessible to standard meters.
Insurance Coordination
We photograph and log all damage in real time and contact your adjuster directly. Complete documentation including sewer backup coverage if applicable.
Structural Drying & Restoration
Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers calibrated for older Decatur construction — different drying parameters for original wood framing and plaster versus modern materials.
Common Emergency Scenarios in Decatur & DeKalb County
Decatur homes face these water emergencies year-round. Our crews are trained and equipped for every scenario.
Historic Home Plumbing Failures
Decatur's most desirable homes were built between 1920 and 1960 with original galvanized steel plumbing nearing end-of-life. Internal corrosion creates burst points behind walls and under slabs with no warning. We extract, locate hidden moisture with thermal imaging, and restore historic finishes to pre-loss condition.
Combined Sewer Backups
DeKalb County's combined sewer system in older Decatur neighborhoods merges storm and sanitary lines. Heavy rain events force sewage back into homes through floor drains and toilets — Category 3 biohazardous water requiring immediate professional response and EPA antimicrobial protocol.
Basement Flooding
Decatur's older homes with unfinished basements and aging sewer laterals face significant flood risk during storm events. Our truck-mounted extraction systems clear basements faster than any portable unit, with moisture mapping to confirm complete drying of masonry walls.
Burst Pipes
Winter freezes and sudden pressure failures send hundreds of gallons into walls, floors, and ceilings. We extract visible water and locate hidden moisture in original plaster and old-growth framing before structural damage or mold sets in.
Roof & Window Intrusion
Severe weather drives water through aging roof penetrations and compromised windows common in historic Decatur homes. We extract from attic spaces and saturated ceilings before structural decay in original wood framing sets in.
Crawl Space Flooding
Decatur's older home stock includes many properties with vented crawl spaces vulnerable to groundwater intrusion and storm drainage overflow. Commercial extraction and structural drying prevents long-term wood rot and mold in these inaccessible areas.
