Gardendale's 2006 Tornado on Main Street
On April 8, 2006, an F1 tornado tracked through Gardendale's US-31 and Main Street business district, tearing roofing and rooftop equipment loose from downtown buildings and damaging trees and homes east of the highway. It's one of several storms to test Gardendale since the town -- first settled in the 1820s as the pottery community known as Jugtown -- took its current name in 1906 and incorporated in 1955.
Responding to Storm Water Damage in Gardendale
A tornado-damaged roof lets in far more water than the storm itself usually shows on the surface, and a building that looks fine from the street can still have wet insulation and framing behind the walls. Getting a Gardendale property fully dried out, not just patched, is what keeps storm damage from turning into a slower mold or rot problem later.
