Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Gainesville, Georgia Area

What Makes Gainesville, Georgia Different

Gainesville sits on the north end of Lake Lanier in the foothills of the Georgia mountains. It has a long history with tornadoes, including the deadly tornado of 1936 that struck downtown. Spring storms still bring high wind and falling trees. Tarp a damaged roof the same day, and photograph everything before cleanup starts.

Summers are hot and humid, and mold grows quickly after any leak. Many homes sit on crawlspaces or on basements dug into sloped lots, where red clay soil sends rain toward the foundation. Keep gutters clear, extend downspouts, and run a dehumidifier in damp lower levels.

Winter ice storms bring down limbs and cut power, and hard freezes split pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window during an outage, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
