Storm Damage Restoration Services in 30362
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Torn or missing roof sections are covered with a heavy tarp so no more rain reaches the attic while the inside is dried.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Storm water that floods a basement is pumped out, wet carpet and drywall are removed and the slab and walls are cleaned and dried.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.
Signs of Storm Water Damage in Your 30362 Home
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
Wet Carpet Near Windows and Doors
Damp carpet or swollen flooring along exterior walls shows that rain was driven in around frames or under doors.
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 30362
Step 1: Protect Belongings
Furniture, electronics and stored items in wet rooms are moved, raised or covered before extraction begins.
Step 2: Extraction Room by Room
Water is removed from each affected room, and wet carpet that cannot be saved is pulled up.
Step 3: Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water behind siding and inside exterior walls is found with meters and dried through small openings or removed baseboards.
Step 4: Verify and Close Out
Final readings and photos are recorded for each room, so you and your insurer can see the drying results.
How Storms Let Water Into 30362 Homes
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
