Recently, as you probably know, here in Atlanta we experienced some flooding.  Parts of Atlanta were completely underwater.  Unfortunately for many homeowners their homes were damaged by the flooding.  SCS was hired to some of the demolition work in one of these homes.  The home at the height of the storm had about eighteen inches of water in it.  For this project we had to remove 4' of drywall/plaster from the areas where the water reached the eighteen inch maximum and two feet of drywall/plaster from the areas that only got about eight inches of water.  We also removed all of the furniture and stored it.  The flooring was water damaged and had to be removed as well.  Finally, fans and dehumidifies ran in the home untill everything was dry.  You can see all of this in the pictures below. 

When choosing a contractor to perform your construction project there are several important factors to consider.  Among others you will probably look at price, timeline to complete the project, the contractor's reputation, and recommendations from family and friends.  Most customers will primarily look at price and from there go off recommendations.  The problem with looking at just price and going off what a friend said is that you may choose a contractor who is not licensed or insured.  In order to protect yourself you need to make sure that you hire a licensed contractor.
