Storm Damage Restoration for 30514 Homes

Storm Damage Restoration Work in 30514
Emergency Board Up Services
Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.
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.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so soaked porous materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 30514
Step 1: Safety Check
Power to wet areas is shut off and damaged ceilings or broken glass are marked so no one gets hurt during the work.
Step 2: Extract the Water
Standing water is pulled from floors and carpet, and water above ceilings is drained so it does not keep dripping.
Step 3: Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Exterior walls that took wind-driven rain are checked with meters and opened where needed so the cavities can dry.
Step 4: Final Readings
When walls, floors and framing read dry, equipment is removed and repairs to the roof, windows and drywall can go ahead.
How Storms Let Water Into 30514 Homes
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
What is storm damage restoration?
It is the work of securing a building after a storm, removing water and debris from inside and drying the structure. Roof, window and siding repairs are done by those trades.
What records will I get for my insurance claim?
Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
What is emergency board-up?
Plywood is fastened over broken windows and doors so rain and wind stay out and the home is secure while it dries.
