Help With Storm Damage in 30577
A tree limb through the roof, a window blown in or water under the doors can all leave a home wet in several rooms at once.
What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 30577
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.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
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.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
When heavy rain overwhelms a sump or comes through window wells, the pros extract the water and dry the basement framing and finishes.
When Storm Damage Needs Professional Cleanup
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.
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.
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 30577
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.
What Causes Water Damage After Storms in 30577?
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.

Questions About Storm Damage Restoration
Do I need to leave my home during storm cleanup?
Usually not, unless the damage makes the home unsafe or power is out. Wet areas are closed off while equipment runs.
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.
How do the pros find water inside walls after a storm?
They use moisture meters and thermal cameras along exterior walls, under windows and in the attic to find water that is not visible.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (828) 492-3606 for board-up, tarping and drying.

It can if materials stay wet for a day or two. Prompt extraction, removal of soaked insulation and measured drying keep that from happening.
