Storm Damage Restoration in Northeast Georgia →What Damages Property in Buford
The National Weather Service surveyed the November 30, 2010 tornado: it touched down at 3:36 p.m. near Holland Park Drive in south Buford, between Mountain View High School and Twin Rivers Middle School. Winds reached about 130 mph along a 2.1 mile path up to 300 yards wide. It damaged 56 homes, left 15 to 20 uninhabitable, collapsed one two-story home and destroyed nursery greenhouses.
Buford also sits at Lake Lanier. Buford Dam was completed in 1956, and the Corps of Engineers holds the lake at a summer full pool of 1,071 ft from May 1 to November 30 and 1,070 ft in winter. The shoreline is shared by Hall, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Dawson and Lumpkin counties. After the September 2009 storm, Lake Lanier rose almost 4 ft in 48 hours.
How We Handle Losses in Buford
Buford's sourced loss is wind: the 2010 tornado destroyed nursery greenhouses and left homes uninhabitable, and rain follows through any roof or wall the wind opens. After a tornado-scale loss, structural drying comes before rebuilding. We board up and tarp, extract water, dry the structure and can continue into reconstruction with the same team.
Mold usually follows water in Buford homes. A basement or crawl space that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Buford usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after tornadoes, straight-line winds, falling trees, and wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
