Disaster Recovery Done Right: Trust Atlas for Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Krum, TX.

When you own a business, property damage is an unfortunate occurrence that happens all too often. Property damage can be caused by any number of disasters, both natural and man-made. Most often, however, property damage happens from an excess of water. From very heavy rainstorms to broken pipes, water damage can be incredibly harmful not just for your storefront but for your customers.

When water spreads through your commercial property, it happens quickly, causing damage as it moves. At the same time, furnishings and porous materials soak up moisture. In just a short amount of time, you could be dealing with warping, rotting, and even mold growth. That's why water damage remediation is so important - to address your current damage and prevent water from making your business unsafe.

Common Signs of Commercial Water Damage in Krum, TX

There's no convenient time to be sidelined with water damage when it comes to your commercial property and business. Water damage to your commercial or industrial property is particularly devastating because every hour that your business is closed means lost revenue and productivity. You do not just have to deal with damage to the structural integrity of your building - you have to deal with the disruption of service to your loyal customers.

The good news? Atlas is here when you need us most, with a team of highly-trained technicians and unmatched water damage restoration expertise. We're ready to tackle your problem and solve it in an efficient, effective manner, so you can keep your doors open and your clients happy.

As a business owner, you know that one of the best ways to prevent a disaster is to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. For that reason, keep an eye out for the following signs of water damage to your commercial property:

 Renovations Krum, TX
Look for Mold

Look for Mold:

Mold can begin to grow just a day or two after water has taken hold of your business. If you see small signs of mold growth in an area where you suspect a leak, contact Atlas National Renovations ASAP to diagnose the problem.

Check Your Pipes

Check Your Pipes:

If it's safe to do so, check out the piping inside and outside your commercial property. You want to keep a keen eye out for oxidation and corrosion around pipe fixtures. While you're at it, check your water heater for rust too. Corrosion or rust is a telltale sign of a water leak.

Check for Rings

Check for Rings:

Dark spots on walls and ceilings usually indicate water damage. If you see rings around a stain, the damage is probably older. Several rings with different shades of color mean an intermittent issue, where the area has been soaked and dried several times.

Understand Your Property

Understand Your Property:

This is more of a suggestion than a sign. As the commercial property owner, you should know your building's pipe system. You should know what is old and new and what areas may be at risk for water damage. Keep an extra-close eye on areas that have a higher potential for leaks, especially during rainstorms.

Benefits of Commercial Water Damage Restoration
in Krum, TX

When water invades your business or commercial property, you don't have much time to ponder your next course of action. While some business owners opt to try DIY water damage restoration, in most cases, they end up with more damage and expenses than before their leak. For the most effective, comprehensive solution to water damage, it's important that you hire a professional. At Atlas National Renovations, our primary focus is assisting business owners and commercial property managers with water damage restoration. We've been doing it for years, and we can help you too.

Safe Shopping Experience

Safe Shopping Experience

If you own a business, the health and safety of your customers is of utmost importance. When water damage occurs inside your storefront, you could be dealing with more than property damage.

When you trust a professional water damage restoration company like Atlas to remediate your water leak, you're not just putting a stop to the leak. Our team will clean and sanitize your business, making it safe for customers to continue shopping at your store.

Written by Carrie Johnson, Staff Writer

Freshmen Kaitlyn Barrett, Lupita Reel, Brooklyn Cook, Faith Butler, and Tessa Contreras are new to the college environment. Nia Carter and Keiten Day are transfers who are continuing their academic endeavors at Austin College. What do they all have in common?

Joining the Austin College softball team.

“We’re incredibly excited about our incoming ’Roos,” said Head Softball Coach Kelly Sylvester about the five freshmen and two transfers the Austin College softball team is adding to their program. “They bring so much to our team and campus that it’s difficult to talk about them purely in terms of softball; but I’ll try my best to do so. On the field, they have the potential to make an immediate impact on our program”

“I chose AC because it gave me the most variety of classes in order to pursue something I am passionate about and its partnership with medical schools,” said Kaitlyn Barrett, adding that “getting to play softball is a major bonus!”

“KB is a force and a great student of the game – she has an insatiable thirst to keep expanding her softball IQ,” Coach Sylvester commented. “We’re excited to have her bat added to our lineup and her fiery instincts behind the dish or in the hot corner.”

Kaitlyn is from Franktown, Colorado and graduated from Valor Christian High School with many honors: she was Varsity Softball Captain and DECA President, and was awarded All State Academic three times, National Honor Society four times, and Magna Cum Laude four times.

Nia Carter, who transferred from North Texas Community College, said “I came to expand my knowledge and achieve my educational goals.” Nia is a double major in English and Political Science. “The Pre-Law Society, Black Expressions, and Student Assembly were compelling reasons to attend this institution,” she added.

“I also wanted to continue my softball career at a four-year after my time playing at North Central Texas College. The culture and environment on the softball team is something that you can’t find everywhere.”

Nia was Offensive Player of the Year for district her senior year, was one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s top hitters and had one of the highest number of home runs in a season according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She was also awarded First Academic All District and Honorable Mention her sophomore year. At NCTC, she was First Team Academic All Conference two times. She is from Wylie, Texas and graduated from Wylie East High School.

Coach Sylvester said that Nia “is a hitter and an absolute joy to watch as a corner player, who also will be a power pitcher in the circle on occasion.”

Lupita Reel is from Whitney, Texas and graduated from Whitney High School. She received her high school’s Wildcat Award, Overall MVP, and Defensive MVP. She was also Academic All-State & All-District three times, second Team All-Regional, and All-District Honorable Mention.

“I decided to attend Austin College because of the inclusivity of AC, as well as the uplifting nature of this college. The softball girls have been beyond accepting and have shown me that there is always someone in my corner,” said Lupita (also known as Pita) who intends to major in Political Science while minoring in History.

“Pita is phenomenally versatile and impressive. Not only is she a solid catcher, she has the range, hands and savvy of a true shortstop, and at the plate, she’s got both speed and power as her weapons,” said Coach Sylvester.

Brooklynn Cook from Athens, Texas said she “chose AC for softball because of the culture and the motto.” She was District Co-MVP twice in high school.

“Brooklynn commands the ball in the circle and, like many of our pitchers, she hits well and will be competing for a secondary position,” Coach Sylvester remarked.

Brooklyn graduated with both a high school diploma and an associate degree from Athens High School. At Austin College, she is a double major in biology and chemistry. “I chose AC for academics because it was a good fit for what I want to do,” said Brooklyn.

Faith Butler also thinks AC is a good fit: “Out of all the schools I had offers from, AC had the best academics and was the best financially. Softball didn’t have a weigh in with my choices. I plan to major in kinesiology,” freshmen Faith Butler said.

Faith was First Team Outfield & Infield, Academic All State, and sixth in her class at Krum High School in Krum, Texas.

Coach Sylvester said that “Faith brings more speed and range in our outfield” and also that “she’s a smart hitter and a heads up baserunner.”

Keiten Day transferred from Collin College in McKinney, Texas. “My first visit as a transfer was very welcoming because everyone was so nice and made me feel at home, and having been here even for the short period of time I have, I feel I can call AC my new home away from home.”

“I chose AC because I spent four years watching my cousin Noah Jesko play football at AC and heard how passionate he was for the college and the environment. Coach Sylvester made me feel very welcomed as well when she invited me to play softball at AC. My goal this year is to pursue my love for softball but also continue to further my education and make many more friends!” Keiten said.

Continuing to make her feel welcome, Coach Sylvester said that “Keiten is a gritty, versatile player defensively and offensively, she’s great at making minor adjustments to achieve big results.”

Keiten was All District Freshmen Catcher, Volleyball MVP, and an American Sign Language Honor from Lumberton, TX, Lumberton High School. She is majoring in Psychology and Pre-Med.

“I chose AC because I liked the culture the team already had and the culture they’re still trying to build,” freshmen Tessa Contreras said.

“Tessa is solid anywhere in the infield. With her strong bat and great instincts, we expect she’ll be competing in multiple spots on the field,” Coach Sylvester affirmed.

Tessa was Academic All State, First Team Academic All State, All District Utility Player of the Year, All District Academic, All District First Team, Defensive MVP and is from Carrollton, TX. She graduated from Creekview High School.

When commenting about the Austin College softball program, Coach Sylvester stated “Our program underwent a deep rebuilding process – significantly continuing to raise our standards and culture. Each year, the bar gets set higher for prospective recruits. Given Austin College’s high-academic standards and exceptional reputation in what I call our niche programs, I strive to recruit young softball student-athletes with career aspirations in tough, competitive fields, who are excited to lean into the challenge of being stretched both academically and athletically.”

Adding the new members to the roster is something she is incredibly excited about.

“These young women not only stood out during the recruiting process, they continue to impress us more each passing day – they’re great people, students, teammates, competitors and we’re absolutely thrilled they’ve joined us!”

Softball: Clark helps Argyle power past Krum in marquee District 7-4A clash

KRUM — Argyle had nearly every phase of its game working on Tuesday.

The Eagles racked up 10 hits en route to a 10-4 win over Krum in a battle of District 7-4A’s top teams, asserting their dominance in a game that could set the tone the rest of the season.

It was Hailey Clark’s presence in the middle of the order for 18th-ranked Argyle (17-7, 9-0) that helped set the tone for the rest of the lineup.

“I just went up there to make contact and just hope for the best,” said Clark, who had four RBIs. “I wanted to make sure I either hit a gap or hopefully they can make an error or at least just advance a runner.”

“If you’re going to be a big-time team, you’ve got to make contact,” Argyle coach Kevin Cook said. “We preach nine girls with contact, and we got a couple of breaks on some errors and manufactured some runs. And that’s from just making contact all the time.”

Clark got the scoring started for the Eagles in the first inning with a two-run RBI with two outs before Rylee Sandifer dropped in an RBI single over the head of the Krum shortstop. But whenever it appeared Argyle would bust the game open, the 20th-ranked Bobcats (15-5, 8-1) loomed.

“It’s Krum and Argyle,” Cook said. “We could have scored eight runs in the first inning, and it still would have been a ball game. They don’t have any quit. And so, it is just typical. We punch first and they punch back.”

In the third inning the Eagles loaded the bases with no outs before Clark drove in her third run of the day, but Krum pitcher Gracie Riney proceeded to strike out each of the next three Argyle batters to keep the Bobcats in contention.

But Krum couldn’t generate runs.

“I think we just have to get a little better,” Krum coach Lindsay Lyles said. “Toward the end, we started to put more balls in play, but early in the game we were hitting the ball right at people. So just trying to put a lot more balls in play a lot harder and adjusting at the plate.”

Krum finally pushed across its first run on an Abby Seitzinger RBI fielder’s choice in the second inning, but that would be it until the sixth. Addison Martindale and Kennedy Brooks each had RBI groundouts, but that would be all.

“I think we got a little mental maybe,” Lyles said. “It’s a big game, a lot of pressure going on, and they’re a good team. But I think we just cracked under the pressure, unfortunately. And we just didn’t do the things we need to do when we needed to do them.”

Reagan Dillion and Sandifer each drove in two runs, while ace Ava Edwards pitched seven innings with six strikeouts and allowed just one earned run for Argyle. Though the Eagles did commit a handful of errors that gave Krum their chances to fight back.

Cook knows that high-pressure games like Tuesday’s only lie ahead if Argyle gets where they want to go.

“It’s the first time we’ve actually played for the district championship,” Cook said. “So nerves are always part of that. And so, we really wanted to be in it. And we have to learn how to play for two and a half hours.”

PONDER — A back-and-forth affair between two schools less than 8 miles apart ended in a 56-51 win for Ponder as it scored 35 second-half points to rally from a halftime deficit.

It was an offensive slugfest throughout, as the final score indicates. The two teams combined for 1,201 yards of total offense as both defenses struggled to get stops. The Lions were able to find just a little more offense than the Bobcats, though, to edge out the win.

“I just felt like the first half we really stopped ourselves,” Ponder coach Kyle Cooper said. “This team is really growing up. I’m really proud of them. They’re learning how to handle adversity and how to fight through that.

“At halftime they really did a good job of just getting back to neutral, regaining their composure, and just came out and executed in the second half.”

Ponder quarterback Clifton Cooper led the team’s offensive efforts in completing 36 of 55 pass attempts for 471 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 52 yards and one score. Cooper’s most targeted receivers were Mitch Nuziard (13 catches for 189 yards and two scores) and Case Peacock (12 catches for 191 yards and two scores).

It was just the latest in a series of strong performances for Clifton Cooper, who entered the contest having thrown for 1,035 yards and 14 touchdowns in the team’s first two games.

“We’re going to keep doing great things, keep slinging the rock,” he said. “I don’t know if anybody’s going to be able to stop it.”

Receiving the opening kickoff, Krum (1-2) struck quickly with a three-play, 68-yard touchdown drive. It was capped off by a 53-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ty Taber to wide receiver Justin Wooten.

Taber finished the night with four touchdown passes while giving away two interceptions.

Ponder (3-0) answered on its opening series with a lengthy touchdown drive as Clifton Cooper ran it in from 16 yards out. The Bobcats responded with a 21-yard field goal to lead by three with 6:13 left in the opening frame.

Following a Ponder turnover on downs, Krum extended its edge to 10 on a 1-yard run by running back Devrin Brown, who had a 27-yard carry earlier in that drive. The Lions narrowed the margin again on the first play of the second quarter as tight end Dillon Cope ran it in from a yard out.

Taber found tight end/linebacker Alex Cordova for a 33-yard touchdown pass on the Bobcats’ ensuing drive. Then Krum recovered a fumble and had a field goal blocked before Ponder narrowed the halftime deficit to three at 24-21 with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Cooper to Peacock.

“I never question the fight in our kids. They’ve fought all year,” first-year Krum coach Chuck Caniford said. “The bottom line is, when there were plays to be made, they made ‘em and we had too many missed opportunities.”

A high-scoring second half saw Ponder go three-and-out on its opening drive before Krum hit on a 55-yard pass from Taber to Wooten and Brown scored from a yard out. The Lions answered with a lengthy touchdown drive capped by a 1-yard run.

Ponder then forced a Krum punt and scored again to take a 35-31 lead. The Lions got an interception courtesy of Trey Kysiak and scored on their first ensuing offensive play as Clifton Cooper found Nuziard for a 32-yard touchdown pass to lead 42-31.

More consistently finding that tempo in the second half is something Clifton Cooper felt helped Ponder rally.

“Our whole deal is tempo. We play for that tempo and strive for that tempo. We play to tire the other team out,” Cooper said. “The tempo really came through right there and helped us out. They were getting tired and we just started throwing all over. It really helps.”

Krum narrowed the deficit later after forcing a Cooper fumble and scoring on a 23-yard pass from Taber to Wooten to make it 42-37. Ponder then turned it over on downs and forced a punt before scoring a touchdown on a three-play drive capped by a 60-yard pass from Cooper to Nuziard.

Krum quickly answered on the first play of its next drive with a 46-yard touchdown pass from Taber to wide receiver Dakota Moore to make the score 49-44 with 3:48 to play.

Ponder then scored a crucial touchdown on fourth-and-nine in the red zone as Cooper found Peacock for a 17-yard touchdown pass to make it 56-44.

Krum scored with 5.3 seconds to play on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Taber to Kobe Wall, but it could not recover an onside for one last chance to tie.

As the two teams ready for their final nondistrict games next week, improvement is front of mind for both. Krum is set to take on Caddo Mills, and Caniford preached turning over a new leaf to his players after the tough loss.

“The thing you lose sight of is these kids are still learning. It’s all new on both sides of the football,” Caniford said. “We’re able to make big plays in all phases of the game. We just have to continue to do that on a more consistent basis and we can’t leave plays out on the field.”

For Ponder, continued growth is still the priority despite matching their best start in program history at 3-0. The Lions face Godley next Friday on the road as they look to open 4-0 for the first time ever.

“On both sides of the ball there’s things for us to clean up, and special teams as well,” Kyle Cooper said. “Just keep plugging one day at a time — it’s still early in the season, but district’s right around the corner. We just have to start really honing in on some small details in each phase of the game.”
