Start with conditions, not guesswork

Sandy Springs context
Sandy Springs combines mid-century ranches, wooded hillside homes, townhouse communities, and substantial newer construction. Steep lots, dense tree cover, red-clay soils, intense storms, and complex additions can magnify water and movement issues.
