Questions from Birmingham homeowners
Rain is coming in after a storm damaged my roof. What first?
Get it tarped as soon as it is safe, move belongings, and photograph the damage. Your policy expects you to prevent further damage.
Why does water collect under my hillside house?
Runoff follows the slope to the uphill foundation wall. Drainage and a vapor barrier are the usual fixes.
