Storm Damage Restoration in Northeast Georgia →What Damages Property in Gainesville
On April 6, 1936, a three-tornado outbreak struck downtown, killing more than 200 people and destroying hundreds of businesses and residences, and rescuers dynamited buildings on the public square to slow a fast-spreading fire. Wind that opens a roof lets rain follow it in, which is why tarping comes first.
Lake Lanier is a flood-control reservoir on the Chattahoochee. Filling began on February 1, 1956, summer full pool is 1,071 ft, and the lake peaked at a record 1,077.2 ft in April 1964. Hall County holds about 60 percent of the lake. Its record low was 1,050.79 ft on December 26, 2007. In April 2019 an EF-1 tornado touched down in Hall County with no injuries reported.
How We Handle Losses in Gainesville
Gainesville's named places include downtown and the public square, River Forks Park and Lake Lanier. The sourced hazards are severe wind, including the 1936 tornado outbreak, and the Lake Lanier water level. Roof leaks after wind damage and water coming in after heavy rain follow from them.
Mold usually follows water in Gainesville 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 Gainesville 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.
