What's different in Atlanta?
Atlanta's expansive red clay holds water against foundations and crawl spaces - and crawl-space humidity keeps feeding mold long after the original leak is fixed. Severe thunderstorms and winter ice storms drop pines onto roofs across Fulton County, and older in-town neighborhoods still run galvanized supply lines at the end of their life.
Georgia policies treat wind, hail, and fallen trees as standard covered perils - including a neighbor's tree on your roof, which typically falls to your own policy first. Groundwater and crawl-space seepage, though, need flood coverage.
Your call goes to a crew based in the Atlanta area. Serving Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Smyrna, and all of Fulton County.
Practical details for families in Atlanta
If someone has been hurt or has died at home, call 911 first; cleanup comes later. Georgia registers businesses that clean up after a homicide, a suicide, or a death with advanced decomposition as trauma scene waste management practitioners through the Secretary of State. State rules require registrants to carry at least $100,000 in liability coverage, post a $25,000 surety bond, and hold an Environmental Protection Division permit to generate and transport the waste, or contract with a permitted hauler. Ask a provider for its registration. If a crime was involved, Georgia's Crime Victims Compensation Program can cover up to $1,500 in crime scene sanitization for eligible victims, with claims generally filed within three years.
Common questions
Do we need to be there?
No. Many families hand over a key and stay elsewhere. The crew keeps you updated as much - or as little - as you'd like.
How soon can someone come?
Whenever you're ready - today if you want, or after family has had time. The line is answered by a person around the clock.
Is this covered by insurance?
Homeowner's policies sometimes cover biohazard cleanup, depending on the cause and your policy's terms. Review your policy, including endorsements. After a crime, your state's crime victim compensation program may help with cleanup costs. Ask the contractor about documentation and coordination with your insurer.
