Emergency roof leak repair
Active water coming in now
South Georgia roofs take long-duration wind from tropical systems and then sit in heat and humidity the rest of the year. Water that gets in does not dry out on its own.
Population about 3,118.
Unadilla is far enough south to take the inland remnants of Gulf and Atlantic hurricane systems, and that is the storm profile that matters here. By the time these systems reach Dooly County the wind has dropped below the headline numbers but is still sustained for hours, which does something different to a roof than a short violent gust — it works shingle tabs loose over an extended period and drives rain horizontally under courses that would shed a normal downpour. The heat and humidity do the rest. Roofs here run hot for most of the year, which ages the shingle and hardens every rubber and sealant component, and the humidity means anything that gets wet inside the roof stays wet.
