Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is Redan’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Redan homeowners don’t call a restoration company hoping for a sales pitch. They call because a storm just tore through DeKalb County at midnight, and they need someone who answers the phone and knows what a 1968 split-level on Redan Road does when water finds its way in. We’ve answered that call for over 42 years across metro Atlanta, founded by Curt Bowman in 2010 around a dispatch board, not a sales desk. Backed by the K.E.Y.S. values code - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it - our crews train to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards.
We know Redan’s tract-home era construction because we’ve worked inside hundreds of them. Original vented crawl spaces. Galvanized supply lines that freeze at the elbow behind the water heater. Three-tab shingles past their granule life. These aren’t surprises to us; they’re the first things our moisture map checks. The same certified crew that reads the moisture map on day one handles daily readings, logs every number for you and your carrier, and rebuilds what the storm took. Curt Bowman’s name is on every job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork battles, no arguing.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Redan
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team handles every phase of storm recovery in Redan without handing your home off to a stranger. From first tarp to final rebuild, the same crew stays on the job. Four services matter most in this area, and here’s what each actually involves.
Roof Tarping
When a summer microburst or spring hailstorm tears shingles off a Redan brick ranch, the roof must be tarped before the next thunderstorm rolls through. On older three-tab shingles, wind damage often strips along brittle granule-loss lines, leaving decking exposed. We tarp within hours of your call, using professional-grade fasteners that don’t further tear aging shingles. A typical tarping in Redan runs $250-$450 for standard roof sections, and we document everything for your insurance carrier.
Flood Damage Restoration
Flood water in Redan rarely stays put. It drains off a soaked lawn, follows the foundation, and settles into whatever crawl space waits below. We extract standing water with Dri-Eaz and XPOWER equipment, then map moisture through the subfloor before we ever think about drying just the carpet. That’s the step most crews skip, and it’s why Redan homeowners find mold colonies under the living room three weeks after a “successful” dry-out. Our moisture log is handed to you and your adjuster, with daily readings until the dry standard is met.
Emergency Board-Up
Broken windows and fallen branches leave Redan homes open to weather, animals, and opportunists. Board-up isn’t just plywood over a hole; it’s measured, secured, and documented for insurance. Expect $150-$400 per opening depending on size and height. We board up same-day in every Redan zip code we cover, then return with a written scope before any structural repair begins.
Debris Removal
Redan’s older neighborhoods have mature hardwoods - oaks, sweetgums, and pines that predate the subdivisions themselves. A severe storm drops limbs, sometimes whole trees, onto driveways, fences, and roof edges. We cut, haul, and clear debris as the first stage of any restoration, before moisture has time to turn a downed limb into a wood-destroying organism problem against your siding.

Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Redan Homes
Here’s what decades of storms have taught us about how Redan homes fail, and what that failure costs if it’s missed.
- Crawl space mold goes undetected for weeks. Crews dry the visible living area and pack up, leaving red clay moisture under the home to fuel regrowth. We check the crawl space on every storm job in Redan because we know what’s under these ranches.
- Galvanized supply pipes burst behind water heaters during ice storms. The original 1960s plumbing in many Redan homes is weakest at the elbows, where corrosion settles. Ice storm pressure finds that pinhole, and the ceiling damage is only half the picture.
- Roof tarping on brittle three-tab shingles tears along old granule-loss lines. If the tarp isn’t anchored carefully, wind-driven rain re-saturates the decking before replacement can happen. We know how to secure a tarp on a 1974 ranch roof, and we’ve done it hundreds of times.
- Debris carries moisture against siding and foundations. Downed limbs resting against a Redan home create a bridge for groundwater and pests. Removal has to happen fast, and it has to be thorough.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Redan
How do Redan’s original crawl spaces change the scope of a storm damage restoration?
Redan’s original vented crawl spaces over Georgia red clay hold moisture year-round, which means a storm water intrusion is never just a surface event. We routinely scope full crawl space drying, insulation removal, and often encapsulation because the clay below keeps re-inviting moisture after every storm. A “one-room flood” in Redan often becomes a multi-day crawl space restoration; any honest quote from us includes that from the start. Call (888) 832-2758 for a free assessment.
What makes roof tarping on Redan’s older brick ranches different from newer subdivisions?
Redan’s brick ranch homes were built in the 1960s through 1980s, and many still carry their original three-tab shingles with granule loss and brittle underlayment. Tarping these roofs requires anchoring past the fragile edges so the tarp doesn’t tear along damaged lines under wind load. In newer subdivisions, decking and shingles are intact, and standard tarping works. In Redan, we account for aging roofs before a single fastener goes in. Call (888) 832-2758 to schedule same-day roof tarping.
Why do ice storms in Redan cause more pipe bursts than snow events?
Georgia’s winter hazard is ice, not snow. Ice storms coat trees and power lines while driving temperatures just low enough to freeze water inside uninsulated galvanized supply lines in Redan’s 1960s-era homes. The expansion bursts at the weakest point - the elbow behind the water heater - and then the thaw floods the house while everyone’s watching the weather. We respond to more pipe bursts after an ice storm than after any snow event in this area. If your pipes have frozen, call us immediately at (888) 832-2758.
Can a single storm event create both a roof leak and a crawl space mold problem in Redan?
Yes, and it does more often than homeowners expect. Wind tears shingles, rain saturates the decking, and water follows the wall cavities down into the vented crawl space below. The red clay keeps that moisture trapped, and within two to four weeks in Redan’s humid summer, subfloor mold colonies form on the joists. This is why our storm restoration always includes a crawl space moisture inspection, even when the visible damage is confined to the roof. We quote that scope upfront, before the mold has time to compound it. Call (888) 832-2758 for a free estimate.
What debris removal challenges are specific to Redan’s older neighborhoods after a severe storm?
Redan’s older subdivisions have mature oaks, sweetgums, and pines planted when the neighborhoods were built, now towering over single-story brick ranches. When those trees drop limbs, they land on roof edges, driveways, and sometimes entire sections of fence line, often carrying enough weight to compromise gutters and fascia. Clearance is tighter between homes than in newer developments, so our crews hand-rig what they can’t reach with equipment. Debris removal runs $300-$1,800 depending on size and access, and it’s always the first step before drying begins. Call (888) 832-2758 for same-day dispatch.
