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

From very heavy rainstorms to broken pipes, water damage can be incredibly harmful not just for your storefront but for your customers.

What is Water Damage Restoration in in Roanoke, TX
If you're currently dealing with serious water damage from a flood, broken pipe, or other cause, you're probably not sure what to do next. While it's understandable to feel panicky, it's important that you have the water removed as quickly as possible. When structural damage and health hazards are at play, time is of the essence. The longer you wait, the worse the damage will get. The damage you see with your eyes is usually the tip of the iceberg - most water damage gets deep in your carpets and walls fast.

The primary purpose of our restoration services is to return your property to the condition it was in prior to the damage. Once your water damage has been mitigated, our team swoops in to begin the restoration process.
Depending on the scope and severity of your water damage, common water damage restoration services can include:
- Damaged Flooring and Wall Replacement

While little can be done to predict natural disasters, there are common signs you can keep an eye on to prevent serious water damage from occurring.
Common Signs of Commercial Water Damage in Roanoke, 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:
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:
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:
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:
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 Roanoke, 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.
Here are just a few of the most common benefits we hear from past customers:
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. Depending on the severity of your issue, contaminants and microorganisms may be present, putting your customers' health at risk. 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.
Quick Response Time
Water damage can create unbearable conditions in your commercial property. As such, your water restoration company must be quick to respond. Professional water damage companies like Atlas respond quickly and can clean up water, dry and disinfect the area, and make necessary repairs. Because we have an entire team of pros and industry-leading equipment, we can be on site in minutes.
Less Damage, Better Costs
Water damage can be very expensive. Sometimes, it only takes a couple of hours to result in heavy losses. How soon you call the experts could mean the difference between painting over a water stain and having to rebuild an entire area of damaged drywall. When you call Atlas immediately, clients often reduce the cost of water damage restoration and overall building damage.
Capital Expenditure Services
In addition to our disaster recovery services, we also offer large-scale upgrades and improvements for your capital expenditures. If you own or manage a large commercial building or a multi-family property, you need to make sure your capital expenditures maintain present operating levels and foster your company's future growth.

Hometown Eats: Texas Tavern

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - When you hear “hot with” or “bowl with,” what comes to mind? Don’t know? Then you’re likely not from Roanoke. If you do, you know we’re headed to the OG! I’ll save you a stool at the Texas Tavern for this week’s Hometown Eats.
“White collar, blue collar, no collar, saints, sinners, preachers, prostitutes, everyone in between. Leave your status outside, when you come in here, we’ll treat you like a millionaire,” said 4th generation Texas Tavern owner Matt Bullington.
It’s the most exclusive, inclusive club in all of Roanoke, the millionaires club and you’ll only find it at the Texas Tavern.
“We’re part of the social fabric of Roanoke, Virginia and we don’t take that lightly. It’s something we’re very proud of,” said Bullington.
Pride that goes back four generations of owner Matt Bullington’s family to his great grandfather Nick who worked with the Ringling Brothers’ Circus, traveling the country in the early 1900s. During his travels he came across a chili recipe in San Antonio, Texas. He put his spin on it and the Tavern was born, but Roanoke wasn’t the original destination.
“The first Texas Tavern was opened in 1926 by my great grandfather outside Indianapolis. If you look at that whole cabinet, all that right there actually came from the original one in Indiana so that even pre-dates this building which was built in 1930. All that stuff was 1926,” explained Bullington.
The arch out front is a nod to The Alamo and putting Texas in the name because that’s where the chili recipe comes from. Most of the aesthetics of the Tavern haven’t changed, like the panels on the walls to the metal foot rail.
“When it was put in there were no holes in it. Shoe leather put those holes in it,” said Bullington.
Bullington says taking people down memory lane is just as important as the food they serve.
“In the next 10 minutes I could have someone who came in here for the first time in 1940,” said Bullington.
One of the most memorable stories was from a woman in her 90s who walked in a few years ago.
“We have a photo of the day we opened, and my grandfather got a bunch of young boys who were in here and they all went outside and took photo and her husband was one of the boys in that photo,” said Bullington.
Now that the history lesson is over, it’s lunch time! Much like the décor, the menu runs on the same motto, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“Try to keep it simple and do what we do well. We don’t try to be things that we’re not so you’re not going to see a Caesar salad on the menu anytime,” said Bullington.
Humor is high on the menu at the Tavern and has been since day one. From the tongue and cheek signs around this joint even to what they call ketchup.
“We’ll keep ketchup, but we keep it hidden. We’re kind of ashamed of it and we call it sissy sauce. You don’t put ketchup on a hamburger, you put mustard on a hamburger,” said Bullington.
Familiarity with a side of fun is what has turned this 10 stool diner into a rite of passage for Roanokers like Bird Man.
“Park my car in the same spot everyday and I usually bring my birds in and they eat some crackers and chili, they love it as much as I do and I usually get a Dirty Travis because it’s the sloppiest thing on the menu,” said regular customer ‘Bird Man’’
This bad boy is on the secret menu, which they do have at the TT, but we’re going with the classics a double meat cheesy, a hot dog with and a bowl of chili with. When you say “with” that means onions and don’t forget the famous tavern relish which is a cabbage base instead of pickles.
The Tavern is here 24 hours a day, 364 days a year with a familiar staff who tells it how it is, and Bird Man says you can’t find that anywhere else.
“Here, they can be real with you. Anywhere else it’s the same story every day, ‘Can I take your order? Can I help you sir?’ You get your bang for your buck,” joked ‘Bird Man.’
Just make sure you have an actual buck, cash only in this joint. No worries if you forgot, the ATM is waiting right next to a 1950s coke bottle machine.
“It’s the millionaire’s club for a reason, there’s a reason this place gets flooded all the time,” said ‘Bird Man.’
“People crave things that are authentic and don’t change and that’s really one of our strong points. We’re nothing if we’re not real Americana,” said Bullington.
Texas Tavern, the original hometown eat.
You can find Texas Tavern at 114 Church Ave SW, Roanoke, VA 24011.

If you're in the mood for a great Diner restaurant in Virginia, you have to add this diner to your list.
One website made a list of the top 30 diner restaurants in the United States. Here's what the one in Virginia was.
It's called Texas Tavern in Roanoke, VA.
The website says, "Though it's called Texas Tavern, this small-but-mighty diner is located in Virginia. The beloved restaurant dates all the way back to 1930, and is known for its incredibly low prices which are still on the menu today."
"Roanoke, Virginia was one of ten cities that Nick considered settling down in and was eventually chosen because it was a railroad city and seemed as if it was going to be a major city in Southwest Virginia," the diner's website says.
This diner is open 24/7 daily except for Christmas.
The diner's FaceBook website says, "On Feb. 13th, 1930 during the height of the great depression, I.N. "Nick" Bullington opened the 10 stool Texas Tavern and began serving its famous bowls of chile, hamburgers, hotdogs, and cheesy westerns. With a no-frills atmosphere and the motto "Give the customer a fair shake" the Texas Tavern has become a landmark and a rite of passage for many locals and visitors alike. Known as "Roanoke's Millionaires Club," it is still run by the same family, now in its 4th generation of ownership."
This diner offers breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, and more!
The address for this diner is 114 Church Ave SW, Roanoke, VA 24011.

Texas wide-eyed for first-round foe, 15th-seeded Colgate

Texas is cramming to get to know Tucker Richardson and Colgate as the Longhorns prepare for the No. 15 seed in the Midwest Region and a Thursday night NCAA Tournament first-round matchup in Des Moines, Iowa.
Richardson had 14 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in Colgate's Patriot League championship game, becoming the only Division I player with a triple-double in a conference title game over the last 25 seasons.
Texas (26-8) and Colgate (26-8) play before seventh-seeded Texas A&M meets 10th-seeded Penn State, and the winners will play Saturday.
Interim head coach Rodney Terry said the second-seeded Longhorns aren't looking ahead at old rival A&M, or to the top of the Midwest bracket at Houston.
"Colgate will be on our minds, and that's what we're going to start working on," Terry said.
Terry, who replaced head coach Chris Beard on Dec. 12 following the domestic violence arrest that led to his dismissal at UT, also insists he's not worried about peeling off the interim label from his coaching title.
"I always tell our guys, live where your feet are, live in the present," Terry said. "This team has been on an incredible journey. I've enjoyed being with them on this incredible journey. We're going to try to go as far as we can. Really, that's been my focus the entire time."
Texas has potent senior guards with Marcus Carr leading the team in scoring at 15.9 points per game and Sir'Jabari Rice close behind. Rice has five 20-point games in the Longhorns' last 13 outings.
Both teams launch 3-pointers at a liberal clip, with Colgate shooting 41 percent on the season and averaging 78.6 points per game. Texas shoots 34 percent from deep and averages 77.9 points.
It's the fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in five years for Colgate, but the Raiders are 0-3 in those first-round games. Coach Matt Langel said he will have Colgate ready after winning 20 of its past 21 games entering Thursday's date with the Big 12 tournament champion Longhorns.
"You're gonna have to finish plays at the rim, make open shots, be connected on the offensive end and run good offense against a team that's athletically and size-wise different from what you've been playing against," Langel said.
The Raiders are attempting to repeat the run of No. 15 Saint Peter's in 2022, and know Oral Roberts also advanced from the 15 line in 2021. Saint Peter's was the first 15 to get past the Sweet 16 on a run that began by knocking off Kentucky.
A win over Texas would make Colgate the 11th No. 15 seed to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. No. 15 seeds have a 10-138 record against second-seeded teams.
Texas last won two games in the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Sweet 16 in 2008.

Ole Miss announced the hiring of Chris Beard as its next men's basketball coach on Monday.
Contract terms were not announced.
The opportunity came about relatively quickly for Beard, 50, who was fired by Texas on Jan. 5 after an alleged domestic violence incident was reported in December. He initially was suspended indefinitely without pay, but in a letter to Beard's attorney regarding his termination, a Texas official called Beard "unfit" to lead the Longhorns.
Charges were dropped against Beard on Feb. 15.
Ole Miss said it did its research into Beard before hiring him.
"We thoroughly evaluated a number of outstanding candidates, and there is no doubt Coach Beard is one of the top coaches in the nation," athletic director Keith Carter said in a news release. "After conducting due diligence and speaking to a number of individuals on and off the court, it was evident he is the right person to guide our team to greatness.
"At each stop in his career, Coach Beard has proven to be a program builder and a dynamic leader whose teams exhibit relentless effort. He is a tireless recruiter and develops talent to reach their greatest potential. He has coached at multiple levels of college basketball and has competed for championships at every school. Simply put, Coach Beard is a winner, and Ole Miss Basketball's best years are ahead of us under his leadership."
The Ole Miss job came open when Kermit Davis was fired on Feb. 24, and Beard thanked administrators for their confidence.
"I am honored to be joining the Ole Miss family and excited to get started at this great university," Beard said. "I can't express how grateful I am to Chancellor (Glenn) Boyce, Keith Carter and the rest of the search committee for their belief in me to lead this program."
Beard went 112-55 in five seasons as head coach at Texas Tech before being hired away by Texas, his alma mater. He led the 2018-19 Red Raiders to the NCAA Tournament title game, falling to Virginia 85-77 in overtime.
He is a four-time conference coach of the year and the 2019 national coach of the year and has a career coaching record of 171-73. He has taken three programs to the NCAA Tournament, including Little Rock, which he coached for one season (2015-16) to a 30-5 record and a win over No. 5 seed Purdue in the first round.
At Texas, Beard went 29-13 in parts of two seasons. The Longhorns were 7-1 this season before Beard was suspended.
Under interim coach Rodney Terry, the Longhorns finished the season 26-8 and are a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They will face Colgate on Thursday in Midwest Region play.
Ole Miss finished the season 12-21 with a 3-15 mark in Southeastern Conference play.
