Common scenarios we handle
Understanding:
Storm Damage Types
North Georgia storms produce varied damage patterns—from fallen trees to wind-driven rain. Understanding the damage type helps prioritize emergency response.
Fallen Tree Impact
Trees or large limbs puncturing roofs, walls, or fences. Often causes structural openings and immediate weather exposure.
Roof & Wall Openings
Punctures, missing shingles, displaced decking, or siding damage that allows rain and debris into the structure.
Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion
Water entering through compromised roofing, flashing, windows, or exterior walls during high-wind storm events.
Hail & Impact Damage
Hail strikes, flying debris, and wind-driven objects damaging roofing, siding, windows, and exterior finishes.
