Rapid-response cleanup for storm events, wind damage, flooding aftermath, and urgent property conditions — 24/7 availability across metro Atlanta
Metro Atlanta averages more than 50 thunderstorm days per year. Severe weather events — including tornadoes, derecho-type straight-line wind events, flash flooding, and ice storms — occur with regularity across DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, and surrounding counties. When a storm damages or heavily soils your property, the situation rarely fits into a normal scheduling queue. You need a cleanup contractor who can mobilize quickly, assess the situation accurately, and work efficiently to restore the property's safety and appearance.
Thrare Contracting maintains emergency response capacity for commercial and residential clients throughout our service area. We keep equipment staged and crews reachable around the clock during and after severe weather events. When you call our emergency line at (678) 748-3578, you will reach a person who can dispatch a response team — not a voicemail that gets returned during business hours.
Storms leave behind debris that ranges from leaf and branch accumulation to large structural materials — tree limbs, roofing components, siding sections, and construction materials displaced by wind. This debris creates immediate safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles, blocks drainage systems leading to continued water damage, and can trigger property code violations if left unaddressed.
Our storm debris cleanup service covers the exterior of your property: clearing debris from parking lots, driveways, walkways, rooftops, gutters, drainage channels, and landscaped areas. We bring the appropriate equipment for the debris volume — industrial vacuums, surface blowers, hand tools, and haul-away capability for large debris loads. For commercial properties, we can mobilize multiple crews simultaneously to address large sites efficiently.
After debris removal, we assess whether surface cleaning is needed to address staining, sediment deposits, or biological material left behind by the storm. Most post-storm situations benefit from a follow-up pressure washing pass to restore the property's appearance after the immediate debris is cleared.
High-wind events cause specific types of exterior damage beyond debris: stripped paint and sealants, scoured masonry surfaces, contamination transferred from adjacent properties, and embedded organic material driven into porous surfaces. In some cases, wind-driven rain penetrates building envelopes at joints and openings, leaving staining and biological growth on exterior surfaces that would not normally be affected.
Our wind damage exterior restoration process begins with a systematic assessment of all affected surfaces. We document damage photographically — useful for insurance claims — then develop a prioritized cleanup and restoration sequence. This typically begins with debris removal, proceeds through high-pressure cleaning of contaminated hard surfaces, and concludes with soft-wash treatment of any biological growth introduced by the event. For surfaces with driven-in contamination (organic material embedded in stucco, brick, or EIFS), we apply dwell-time chemical treatments to break down the contamination before pressure extraction.
Flash flooding events in metro Atlanta can be intense and localized, depositing significant quantities of sediment, organic material, and contaminants on exterior surfaces. Parking lots, lower-level building exteriors, driveways, and ground-level walkways can be covered in silt, mud, and debris after even a brief flood event.
Post-flood exterior cleanup requires more than a basic pressure wash. Sediment must be physically removed or liquefied before pressure washing, or it will simply be redistributed rather than removed. Contaminated water residue may require chemical treatment with disinfectants and deodorizers. Drainage systems must be cleared and verified functional to prevent recurrence during subsequent rain events. We have the equipment and experience to manage the full post-flood exterior cleanup sequence on both residential and commercial properties.
Clogged gutters during active rain events cause immediate problems: overflow that saturates foundation plantings, drives water against siding and window seals, and in worst cases diverts water toward the structure's foundation. Emergency gutter clearing — same-day response when conditions allow — prevents ongoing water damage during multi-day rain events. We prioritize emergency gutter calls when there is active overflow causing structural risk.
Commercial properties sometimes face urgent appearance situations that require rapid exterior cleaning: a surprise corporate or government inspection, a major event at the property, a code enforcement notice with a short compliance deadline, or media attention following an incident. In these situations, standard scheduling timelines are not acceptable.
Our rapid-response building washing and commercial pressure washing service prioritizes your job over standard scheduling queue. We will assess the property, provide a written estimate within hours rather than 24 hours, and schedule service for the next available window — often the same day or within 24 hours for commercial clients in our core service area.
Property owners filing insurance claims for storm or weather-related damage need documentation of the damage condition and the remediation work performed. Thrare Contracting provides before-and-after photography of all emergency work, a written scope-of-work document describing conditions at the time of service and all services performed, itemized invoicing suitable for insurance claim submission, and availability for follow-up communication with adjusters if needed.
We do not work with public adjusters on a commission basis, and we do not inflate scopes or pricing for insurance jobs. Our emergency pricing reflects the cost of rapid mobilization and after-hours work — it is higher than our standard scheduling rates — but it is honest pricing for the actual work performed.
For emergency service requests, call (678) 748-3578 at any hour. During severe weather events or in the immediate aftermath of storms, call rather than emailing — phone response is fastest. Describe the situation, your property address, and what you need addressed, and we will evaluate dispatch options immediately.
We serve emergency calls across all of our standard service area counties: DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Forsyth, and Rockdale. Emergency response times vary based on conditions, location, and crew availability, but our goal is to reach your property within 4 hours of a confirmed emergency dispatch for commercial clients in our core zone.
