Wind Storm Damage in Ellenwood, GA

Wind storm can cause major damages to structures and this home in Ellenwood, GA suffered damages when a tree fell on the roof. Wind and gravity both impact trees in storms, but the dominant load is from the wind. Storm winds pushed on the tree crowns and stems, which caused the root plates to rock. The weakest parts of the tree are most likely to fail as the Before picture demonstrates.  

Before our Production staff entered this damaged house, they checked the house's structural integrity, and checked for other hazards such as falling debris or the risk of electric shock. In addition, our staff entered the damaged areas by wearing the proper protection to reduce the risks of injuries. These include protective clothing, sturdy shoes, gloves, eye protection, and vapor respirator.
