Editorial policy
Where the Norcross information here comes from

Sources
Which sources come first

- Local governmentGwinnett County Water Resources and the permit offices of Norcross, Peachtree Corners and Berkeley Lake.
- Reference and newsWikipedia and regional news for history and census context, and for events such as the December 2022 freeze.
- Modelled dataOpen-Meteo rainfall estimates appear only where they are labelled as modelled.
Standards
Rules that apply to every page
Claims must trace to a listed source or be worded as general practice. Nothing is invented: no local job stories, no reviews, no credentials and no response times. Pages are written by the site's editorial team and are not reviewed by a licensed professional, so treat them as general information and confirm anything important about your own house with someone who has inspected it.
Images
How images are handled
- Images are AI-generated illustrations and are not photographs of real jobs.
- Alt text describes only what is visible in the image.
- Images containing logos or readable text are not used.
Corrections
Fixing mistakes
If something here is wrong or out of date, call the number on the site and ask for the correction to be passed along. Corrections are made on the page itself and the updated date changes when the content does. Public rules, phone numbers and permit steps can change, so confirm those with the office concerned before you rely on them.
