What do Georgia homeowners ask most?
Why do Atlanta basements leak after summer storms?
Many metro homes sit on slopes with basements dug into the hill. Short, intense storms overwhelm gutters and grading, and water collects at the uphill wall. Downspout extensions, regrading and interior drainage usually fix it.
What license does a Georgia contractor need?
Residential or general contractor licensing from the state board applies to jobs above its value threshold. Ask for the license number and proof of insurance.
