Water Damage Restoration in Dunwoody, GA
Many Dunwoody homes were built in the 1970s and 80s, and their original plumbing is wearing out. When it lets go, we're a short drive away and answer day or night.
Much of Dunwoody was built out in the 1970s and 80s: two-story traditionals and split-levels in neighborhoods like Dunwoody North, Georgetown and Kingsley, most with basements and big hardwoods overhead. Decades later, the original water heaters, supply lines and fittings are behind a lot of water damage restoration calls in Dunwoody. Some homes from that era were plumbed with gray polybutylene pipe, which is known to fail at the fittings without warning. Our Roswell Road office is a short drive from Dunwoody.
When a pipe bursts in a finished basement or above a kitchen ceiling, the water you can see is only part of it. We use thermal imaging to see how far it spread, extract what's standing, and dry walls, subfloors and cabinets with air movers and dehumidifiers until the readings say dry. If you can't tell where the water is coming from, our leak detection finds it without tearing the house apart. Then we tell you plainly what needs replacing and what doesn't.
What we see most in Dunwoody
Aging pipes and polybutylene
Original supply lines in houses this age crack, pinhole and separate at the fittings. We dry the damage and document the failed section so you and your plumber know exactly what happened.
Basement seepage after long rains
Dunwoody basements sit in red clay that holds water against the walls after a soaking rain. When it pushes through, we extract, pull wet carpet pad and drywall where needed, and dry the space before mold gets a foothold.
Perimeter offices and apartments
Around Perimeter Center, a leak in an office or apartment building can shut down several suites or units at once. We work after hours when needed, contain the work area and keep the property manager updated as drying progresses.

Why neighbors call us first
I had a great experience with Mitigate First. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. It’s not always easy to find a company you can trust when dealing with water damage, but they made the experience much less stressful. I really appreciate their hard work and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of their services
Called Mitigate First for a flood restoration job and they were on-site fast, walked me through exactly what needed to happen, and had the water out and the space dried properly without any surprises. Pricing was fair and clear up front — no padding, no change orders. Would use them again and already have them saved as my go-to.
Had a leak in my bathroom, and Mitigate First came out immediately and was great! Levi and Moysh were awesome! They are super knowledgeable and professional, and helped me through the whole process. Definitely recommend!
Dunwoody questions
Common questions from Dunwoody
Do you serve all of Dunwoody, including Perimeter Center?
Yes. We work in homes across Dunwoody and in the offices and apartment buildings around Perimeter Center. We're open 24/7, and a crew heads out right away when you call.
I think my house has polybutylene pipe. What should I do?
Gray plastic supply pipe, often stamped PB, is the giveaway. We don't do plumbing, but if it has already leaked we'll dry the damage and can recommend a plumber to talk with you about repiping.
Can you dry my basement without tearing out all the walls?
Often, yes. We measure moisture first and cut out only what can't be dried, usually the bottom few inches of drywall. Everything else gets dried in place.
