How a roof and storm leak water damage dry-out is handled in Marietta
Call and dispatch
The response team answers around the clock, and the nearest Marietta crew heads out with truck-mounted extraction, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
The tech who does the walkthrough maps 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 first, then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers dry the structure to the IICRC S500 standard, not just the surface.
Verify and document
Crews record moisture readings daily until the wet material is dry, with timestamped photos and a line-item scope for the claim file.
Cobb County storms do not just drop rain straight down. They drive it sideways under shingles, around flashing, and past roof penetrations, and once it is in the attic it runs along the framing before it shows up on a ceiling below. A roof or storm leak is different from an interior ceiling leak: it appears during and after a storm, and the water has already crossed the insulation and attic before you see the first stain.
How storm rain gets into the house
Wind is the difference between a roof that sheds rain and one that lets it in.
- Wind-driven rain forced under shingles and around lifted edges
- Failed or aging flashing at valleys, chimneys, and vents
- Storm damage, like a lost shingle or a limb strike, opening the deck
The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City issues the severe-storm warnings for Cobb County, and the worst roof leaks tend to follow those wind events.
How the restoration team stops a roof leak
The first move is keeping more water out, then drying everything the storm water already reached.
- Tarp the affected roof section to stop further intrusion
- Dry the attic, insulation, and the ceilings and walls below
- Remove saturated insulation that has lost its value and holds water
- Coordinate the roofing repair so the permanent fix follows the dry-out
Storm leaking through your roof? Call the 24/7 Marietta dispatch line and a crew tarps and dries it.
☎ Call (770) 874-2642Drying the attic and documenting the storm

A tarp buys you time
You cannot repair a roof in the middle of a storm, but an emergency tarp stops the water while the weather clears and the roofer schedules the permanent fix. Getting one on fast is often what keeps a leak from ruining the ceilings below.

Roof and Storm Leak Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Marietta crew is standing by 24/7.
(770) 874-2642 Call the Marietta lineHow do I know it is a roof leak and not a plumbing leak?
A roof or storm leak shows up during and after a storm and often starts high near the attic, while an interior leak drips after a shower or when the AC runs, in any weather. The crew confirms the source before opening anything.
Can you tarp my roof during a storm?
The crew tarps the affected section as soon as it is safe to access the roof, which stops further water from entering while the weather clears and a roofer schedules the permanent repair.
Do you repair the roof too?
The crew handles the water damage, the tarping and the drying, and coordinates a roofer for the permanent repair so the dry-out and the fix line up rather than happening separately.
What happens to wet attic insulation?
Saturated insulation loses its value and holds water against the framing, so it usually comes out. The crew dries the attic, decking, and ceilings, then it can be replaced once everything reads dry.
Does insurance cover storm roof leaks?
Sudden storm damage to the roof and the resulting interior water damage is often covered by homeowners insurance. The restoration team documents the loss with photos and readings the way an adjuster needs it. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
How fast should I call after a storm leak?
Right away. Attic and ceiling water spreads along the framing and soaks insulation quickly, so the sooner it is tarped and dried, the less of the ceiling and structure is at risk. The response team answers 24/7.
