Flash Floods & Summer Storms in Georgia: What to Do When Water Damage Strikes

August 1, 2025

Quick Action, Expert Help — We’re Here When You Need Us Most.

Summer in Georgia means hot days, southern storms—and unfortunately, the increasing threat of flash floods. Across the Southeast, homes are being hit with sudden downpours that overwhelm drainage systems, seep into basements, and leave families scrambling to protect what matters most.

If your home has experienced flooding or storm damage, time is critical. At SES Environment, we specialize in fast, reliable environmental restoration, designed specifically for Georgia’s unique weather patterns and building needs.

Common Summer Storm Damage in Georgia

  • Flash Flooding: Heavy rains can cause instant flooding in low-lying areas, especially in metro Atlanta, coastal towns, and foothill regions.
  • Roof Leaks & Structural Damage: High winds can rip off shingles, break windows, and cause trees to crash into homes.
  • Mold Growth: Georgia’s humidity speeds up mold growth within 24–48 hours after water exposure.

What to Do If Your Home Has Flood or Storm Damage:

  1. Stay Safe First: Turn off electricity if you suspect water has reached outlets or wiring.
  2. Document Everything: Take photos and video of the damage before cleanup.
  3. Call the Experts: Our certified restoration team is available 24/7 to assess, extract, dry, and repair.
