The Storms That Damage Atlanta Properties
Trees on homes and power lines
Neighborhoods across Atlanta have seen trees fall onto houses, cars and utility poles, leaving homes without power and roofs open to rain. We tarp and board up the opening first so water stops entering.
Creek and street flooding
Hurricane Helene in 2024 sent Peachtree Creek over its banks in Buckhead and flooded streets and homes. Flood water is contaminated, so affected materials are removed and the structure is cleaned and dried.
Ice and freezing rain
A winter storm that changes to freezing rain loads branches and power lines, and ice dams can force water under roofing. Look for ceiling stains after thaw.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement or crawl space after a flash flood
- Ice-laden limbs or trees down on the roof after an ice storm
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (470) 287-3895 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements and crawl spaces after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Roofs and ceilings after tornadoes and fallen trees
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts

We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on storm claims, with photos, readings, and a written scope for your adjuster. Tornado, wind, hail, and falling-tree damage are usually handled under your homeowner policy, while surface flooding needs flood coverage, so ask your carrier which parts of a storm loss apply.
