What to do about roof & storm leak water damage before the crew arrives
Stay off the roof
Never climb a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself. Contain the water inside with buckets and bins and keep clear of a sagging ceiling.
Contain and photograph
Catch active drips, move valuables, and photograph the damage inside and out for your claim before cleanup.
Call for an emergency tarp
Call to get the roof tarped safely and the attic dried. A tarp keeps the next band of rain out until the roofer can make the permanent repair.

How roof & storm leak water damage is handled in Alpharetta
Call and dispatch
The restoration team answers 24/7, and the nearest Alpharetta crew heads out with pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
The crew finds the source and the full reach of the water, including what soaked into subfloor, drywall, and wall cavities.
Extract and dry
The extraction crew pulls the standing water, then runs air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry standard, not just the surface.
Verify and document
Moisture readings are logged until the structure is dry, then the loss is documented with the photos and daily readings an adjuster needs to move a claim.
North-Fulton storms bring wind that drives rain sideways, under shingles, up flashing, and through the smallest gap in the roof envelope. The water enters the attic first, soaks the insulation, then runs down a rafter and shows up on a top-floor ceiling feet from where it got in. A roof leak is a race against the next band of rain, so the restoration crews tarp the roof, dry the attic and ceilings, and document the storm loss for your claim.
Where storm water gets into the roof
Most of the roof leaks seen here trace to one of these:
- Wind-lifted or missing shingles after a microburst or a hail-and-wind storm
- Failed flashing at a valley, chimney, skylight, or plumbing boot
- Clogged gutters and valleys that back water up under the shingle edge
- An older roof at the end of its life that leaks under heavy, wind-driven rain
A roof and storm leak is different from an interior ceiling leak, because the entry is up in the roof envelope and the attic insulation acts like a sponge. It is also often part of a larger storm water event already being handled elsewhere in the home.

When a storm opens the roof, BustosPro works fast and in order:

- Open and dry wet drywall, framing, and the attic deck
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified reading
- Document the storm loss and coordinate the roofer for the permanent repair

Call (770) 525-8533After the storm, before the next one
Do not climb a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself. Contain the water inside, photograph the damage for your claim, and let a crew tarp it safely. After the season, keep gutters and valleys clear and have worn flashing resealed so the next storm cannot get under it. The Ready.gov storm guidance covers severe-weather safety, and the National Weather Service in Peachtree City issues the warnings for North Fulton. The dry-out follows IICRC standards, and the loss is documented for your carrier.
An emergency tarp buys you time
A proper tarp keeps the next band of rain out while the roofer schedules the permanent fix, and it limits the interior damage your claim has to cover. It is the first move on a storm-opened roof.

Roof & Storm Leak Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local Alpharetta crew is standing by 24/7.
(770) 525-8533 Call the Alpharetta lineCan you tarp my roof in a storm?
Yes. An emergency tarp is the first move on a storm-opened roof, weather permitting, to stop more water while your roofer schedules the permanent repair. No one is sent onto a roof that is unsafe.
Is storm roof damage covered by insurance?
Sudden wind or storm damage to the roof and the interior water damage it causes are usually covered on a Georgia homeowners policy. The storm entry and the interior loss are documented carefully for your carrier.
Why does my ceiling leak show up far from the roof hole?
Water enters the roof, soaks the attic insulation, and runs along a rafter before it drops through the ceiling, so the stain often appears feet from the actual entry. The crew traces it to the real source with meters and a thermal camera.
Do you replace the roof too?
The crew handles the water damage, the tarp, and the drying, and coordinates a roofer for the permanent repair. The mitigation and the roof work move together instead of on separate schedules.
Should I remove the wet attic insulation myself?
No. Wet insulation is heavy, hides the extent of the water, and an attic has hazards like wiring and unfloored joists. The crew removes it safely, dries the deck and framing, and verifies the readings.
How fast can you respond after a storm?
The response team answers 24/7 with rapid local response across Alpharetta and North Fulton. During a widespread storm, calls are prioritized by severity, so call early and describe how much water is coming in.
