What Atlanta crews handle
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.
Common questions
Can we stay in the house?
Depends on smoke spread and structural safety - the crew tells you straight after inspection. If you can't, most policies pay for temporary housing (loss-of-use coverage).
Is fire damage covered by insurance?
Typically yes. Fire is a core homeowner's peril, and coverage usually includes smoke damage, water from firefighting, board-up, and rebuilding, subject to your limits and deductible - check your declarations page for those. Ask the contractor about documentation and coordination with your adjuster.
Should I start cleaning up myself?
It's best to wait on soot cleanup. Wiping soot the wrong way can drive it deeper, and moving debris before photos may reduce what your claim can show. Waiting on cleanup doesn't mean delaying safe steps to prevent further damage, like board-up or tarping once it's safe. Photograph first.
